While elected representatives are holding hearings about the rise of “far right” Ethno-nationalism, Antifa Bolsheviks continue to pay for the consequences of assaulting conservatives and supporters of President Trump. Gage Halupowski, 24, pled guilty to second-degree assault with an expandable baton that left the victim, Adam Kelly, with a concussion and 25 staples in his head. The riot took place in the Antifa stronghold of Portland, Oregon June 29, 2019. Portland Police said they saw Halupowski collapse his weapon and attempt to conceal it in his pants after he attacked a supporter of President Trump and the ‘MAGA’ movement.
Independent journalist Andy Ngo, who was also attacked during the same protests in Portland, tweeted about Halupowski’s sentencing on Friday.
Breaking: Antifa militant Gage Halupowski sentenced to nearly 6 years in prison for striking a man on head from behind w/a baton during riot. He was masked at the time & assaulted an officer while trying to escape. His lawyer says sentence is too severe. https://t.co/g0VNdtPYcx pic.twitter.com/aSNYum9xzV

On August 10, Ngo, who regularly reports on the Alt Left, tweeted that the Portland Police Department still had not made any arrests in connection with his own June 29 assault.
I was beaten on the head & robbed on 29 June. Antifa then continued to hurl "milkshakes" at my bleeding face. I was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage. There still hasn't been a single arrest by @PortlandPolice. Help me seek justice; join my legal fund: https://t.co/QtCt7A6zJp pic.twitter.com/sis8pFo3lf

On September 2, Ngo told Breitbart News’s James Delingpole that leftists were trying to instigate a revolution by staging violent protests in the streets.
Following the violent protests, President Trump tweeted on August 17 that “Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an ‘ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.’”
Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.” Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!

Antifa which has its origins in the German Bolshevik uprisings of the 1920s and 1930s mistakenly identifies with its historical predecessor, when in reality, the group is a network of criminal anarchists. In March 2018, Antifa and Black Lives Matter leader Micah Rhodes was found guilty of raping an underage girl and sentenced to prison. Also in 2018, Washington D.C. Antifa leader Joseph “Jose” Alcoff, also known as “Chepe,” was arrested and charged with multiple felonies in Philadelphia on Jan. 10 in connection to the Antifa mob attack against two Marines in November 2018.
