Antifa Activist Charged With Assault Against Reservists
AnotherPat sends us an update to the Antifa attack on Marines. One of the Antifa activists that attacked Marine Corps reservists has been arrested. Tom Keenan turned himself in to face the music. There are others involved in the attacks, the investigation is still ongoing.
Philadelphia News provides details on their attack:
Investigators say that a group of men and women maced, punched, kicked, and robbed the reservists near Front and Chestnut streets on Saturday, November 17th, around 3:20 p.m., just down the street from the controversial “We the People” rally. The group allegedly called the reservists “Nazis” and “white supremacists.”
These so called “anti-fascists” are on a misguided mission to fight against fascism, using tactics that fascists have actually used in the past to intimidate… Or even silence opposing views. This apparently isn’t Tom Keenan’s first time expressing his views via tantrum:
In 2007, Keenan was arrested as one of the so-called “Love Park 4” after an incident involving a purported Ku Klux Klan rally in the well-known park near City Hall. He was charged with criminal conspiracy, institutional vandalism, resisting arrest, and criminal mischief, among other offenses, and eventually made a plea deal, pleading guilty to one summary offense of disorderly conduct, while all other charges were withdrawn.

That boy has a chin like a BMX speed bump.
He had that chin in 2007…check out some pictures of him in this post:

Again, he looks as if he could be the type of Man-Child or Pillsbury Dough Boy who would leave loving phone messages/voicemails to our Dave…
They should call him “Dumplin”.
If they would give him a couple or 3 years in the joint,,bubba, thor, hulio and others WILL CALL HIM DUMPLIN! lol
Isn’t it time to stop letting these jerks get off nearly scot-free for what they do? Either they get charged with the hard charges, or there is no law left in this country.
What’s next? Are they going to start assaulting cops answering calls – oh, wait. Never mind.
Send his ass to jail and make him stay there.
The impunity is part of the point…not just “we can beat you up” but “we can beat you up whenever we want, and will get the wet noodle or no punishment at all.”
Prediction: one day, possibly soon, a group of these so-called-Antifa goons (they act more like Brownshirts than anything else, hence the “so-called”) is going to pick the wrong guy or gal – one who is carrying concealed. And one or more people is going to end up dead afterwards.
I hope I’m wrong, but I’d wager I’m not. Frankly I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet.
Well, remember, these people do tend to limit their activities to places where the establishment leans left or hard left, where concealed carry is less common to begin with. And where the police and courts can be relied on to lean heavily in their favor, in case of “accidents” (as the MSM will do anywhere). I suspect their target selection is also designed to minimize the chance.
Compare how often these assaults happen with how rarely the “Antifa” get punished for them. These people are disgusting and their cause is evil–but they’re organized by people who aren’t stupid.
Agreed. But at the risk of repeating myself: the same was true of the Brownshirts.
And the Brownshirts and their party succeeded in taking over the country–they were only discarded after they were no longer needed.
(I always thought it was a great irony that the regime kept the “Horst Wessel Lied”–a song that praised the SA–long after it the organization itself was marginalized.)
Which is only my way of saying, “Don’t underestimate these people”–which I don’t think you do.
The brown shirts were highly organized, and willing to confront just about any would-be opponent if they felt they might win. Not to lionize the bastards, but they were far more willing, and far more able, thus far more dangerous.
The trick with these pseudo-anarchist communist advocates is to smack them repeatedly, legally and/or by police baton, before they get themselves organized.
And I agree it is only a matter of time before they draw the short straw of a long gunfight.
I believe it was Larry Correa that passed along a comment about how much of the Left sees violence as a knob, adjusting from “minor acts of vandalism” to “mass murder” as circumstances allow. Many of those on the other side see it as a switch, with one side marked “vote” and the other position marked “kill F-Ing all of them”.
AntiFree will soon find the guy who is willing to flip the switch. The media will fall all over themselves demonizing the victim that dares to smite his bullies, but that event is going to cause a bunch of -others- to flip that switch, quietly, and wait for the next gathering of blackhead thugs.
Popcorn?
Get a Whirlypop or a wire basket popper, so that you don’t have to rely on a microwave to pop your popcorn for you.
Alberich..its because the little a.h.’s are COWARDS! not about to strike somewhere they might get their little communists asses kicked!
As usual Hondo is spot on here…it reminds me of the little assholes playing the knockout game when one of them approaches someone who is licensed for CC and gets shot…because the victim didn’t know it was a game he thought these assholes meant him real harm.
I drive a good size vehicle, I can assure I’m not stopping it to get pulled out and beaten to pulp at my age…I’m gonna floor it and surrender to authorities…if they do manage to stop the vehicle I might be the one who shoots the fuckers…
Okay the Knockout Game isn’t a game. It is assault. A number of people have been killed “playing” it.
Or enough people become fed up with nothing being done about this behavior and decide to take the law into their own hands, consequences be damned. And I would tell these idiots to make a choice, would you rather get arrested and dealt with in the court of law or be dealt with by a bunch of angry vigilantes? Hint hint, one of them has rules they must follow while the other will not care at all. Choose and choose wisely. What Antifa does reminds me of the short story The Lottery, in which the “winner” is condemned to death by stoning and of the one characters vigorously supports it until it gets turned on her with no way of getting out of it. They will support this stuff until they end up in the crosshairs of the very people and policies they support. Just like what happened to the Brownshirts when they became the SS. They are pawns. They are disposable in the grand scheme of things and I am sure there are those in their own ranks who will gladly stab them in the back if it means they can get further ahead and get a larger share of the pie of power for themselves.
I agree, and I expect a blowback from either someone who looked “helpless” to them, or from a crowd.
Question Hondo, how is it that a group of freaking MARINES wasn’t the wrong group? You’d think a bunch of jarheads would have given these sparkle ponies a proper beatdown…
Well, two things come to mind:
1. As 2/17 AC observed above, mace/pepper spray was used on the Marines. There’s a damn good chance they were surprised and blinded prior to the assault. That in turn makes them turning the tables on the assault somewhat difficult.
2. If they were going to/from a govt office, by reg they’d have been prohibited from carrying unless doing so as a part of their official duties. So they probably weren’t carrying.
Sure, I get the not carrying part, I just figured that fighting through pepper spray, etc would be something they’d gone through in training. I mean the gas house was no fun, but that was the point of it wasn’t it? Just sad that they didn’t even the score a bit..
Gas training is usually with CS, a riot control irritant agent. Unpleasant stuff, but it does not actually do any disabling damage, although the pain may be overwhelming.
Pepper Spray is oleo-capsicum, which functions by swelling mucous membranes, badly. It also hurts, a whole bunch. Your eyes swell shut. The lungs get seriously reduced capacity.
If the other guy uses pepper spray properly, the victim is likely not able to fight, much.
There are, of course those one-percent or so of folks for whom pepper is not very effective. That can ruin the sprayers whole day…
I will take CS any day of the week. I can still sort-of function when gassed with it. It sucks moosedong, but I can keep going. Pepper spray is a whole nother level of suck. Blind is blind.
Ex, check this story out: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/11/29/outrageous-london-zombie-knife-street-attacker-caught-in-viral-video-escapes-jail/
I’ve been in court when career criminals openly admit to breaking the law (stealing, driving drunk, beating their wives, or smoking weed on probation for a smattering of examples). They then give the judge a sob story, always of their own fault (no job, too many kids, drank or smoked themselves retarded). The judge finds them guilty but then gives them a suspended sentence, waives all fines and fees, and kicks them back out the revolving door of justice.
If you never want to lose faith in the law, don’t go to an inner city courtroom and observe the proceedings.
Well, it happened in Philthydelphia, they’ve elected a radical lefty as D.A. His name is Larry Krasner and I lifted these points from his D.A. pedigree;
“In 1993 he(Krasner) started his own private practice, specializing in criminal defense and police misconduct matters”.
“Throughout his 30 year career, Mr. Krasner has also proudly demonstrated a steadfast commitment to social justice, having defended protesters pro bono who were involved with movements including ACT UP, Black Lives Matter, progressive clergy with POWER, Casino-Free Philadelphia, DACA Dreamers, Decarcerate PA, anti-gun clergy with Heeding God’s Call, anti-poverty and homelessness advocates with Kensington Welfare Rights Union, Occupy Philly and Reclaim Philadelphia, and Grannies for Peace, among many others. https://www.phila.gov/districtattorney/aboutus/Pages/DistrictAttorney.aspx
I doubt that the DA is going to concern himself with his fellow travelers assaulting a few Marines, or cops, or citizens.
Well, this ‘splains a whole lot of it. Tell Lucy Thanks, UpNorth.
Upnorth….and good, dependable dumocrap communists voted for the scumbag!!
Amen!!
A number of years ago, 3 or four Army Rangers in civies and shaved heads were walking in a mall when a group with bats thought that the Rangers were skinheads and attacked them which didn’t go too well for the attackers who got their butts kicked big time. Anyone remember that incident???
Nope, but I do remember the shootout at Ft. Lewis with the drug dealers.

Dude just needs to be pimp slapped.
It can’t be easy being an incel.
His Incel name would be “DoubleChinAntifaCel”.
Makes one wonder if the other perps are in the local body and fender shop with multiple bruises and abrasions. I agree completely with Ex-PH2 on when are these type of assaults going to be charged for what they are. At the very least it should be assault with intent to do bodily harm. Not sure about PA, but down here, if you survive what the assaultee does to you, that would be a felony.
I would love to be able to sell tickets to the beat down our Dave would administer to this weasel mofo if he, the weasel mofo, left love phone messages. Should make enough to pay for the cold beer, snacks and munchies for when “HOW ‘BOUT THEM DAWGS” goes ROLLING OVER THE TIDE this weekend.
5th/77th FA:
I saw that!
goarmybeatnavy
Did it just for you my Brother! Check out my comment on the after the storm post per this past weekend’s festivities.
GOARMYBEATNAVY!!!!!
“goar” ‘my” never happen…sic’em Navy! lol
It’s easy enough to find out the asshole’s address … the Reservists need to take appropriate action.
John
Wonder if any of the Reservists were females ?
Slob needs to lose Antifa and find Antifat. More mac & cheese Tommy?
My supposition is that since mace was used, the reservists were zapped before any punches and kicks were delivered. It’s hard to fight blind.
My thoughts too A/C; specially when there was no comment in the article on injuries to the POS mofos, with surprise attack ect ect. My earlier comment was more wishful thinking. Thank God I live in a CCW State, and I do carry, very well concealed, usually two; and I maintain a very high level of SA.
Sentence the douchebag and his butt buddies to four years at Parris Island to undergo recruit until the time is up under the harshest DI’s on the Island. Or use them as target dummies to practice strikes, kicks, and chokes on for MCMAP evolutions; assault Marines, get beat on BY recruits (still the better of the CHUDS of ANTIFA)training to become Marines – punishment fits the crime.
Yes, make them serve their sentences as hand-to-hand Combat Practice Dummies!
Naw. Send them to either Riker’s Island or the Beaumont, TX, federal prison, with no orders of “protection” or separation for them.
They think they’re so tough, but they haven’t met tough yet.
In my day he would go to either Billerica or Shirley.
Or even better, Bridgewater for “observation”.
Belchertown !
excellent idea! Parris Island will make them grow up lol
“..hey, fish. I hear you like to fight….”
I NEVER get tired of watching this hilarious video of the Antifa training in the Chicago area. Ex-PH2 shared before that she once owned that flowery hat that one of those dudes is wearing. I think she said she burned it.
Go back to your training, Tom Keenan!
As an added bonus they fell ate each other after their pussified attempt to be men.
Damnit! Spellcheck screwed me up again. It’s fellate, not fell ate. I know what I’m trying to write you stupid computer, just let me do it.
I think you meant “felch”
I doubt those flowers of manhood are out in our most recent efforts by Ole Man Winter.
Yeah, I did toss that hat into the street where the trash collection truck could run it over.
Serious question.
In a group of soyboys like that, how do they decide which of the cucks is going to be the alpha and become the toxicly masculine patriarch?
A whole lot of ESTROGEN flowing in that video clip of those soi bois! Hope that took some Pamprin or Midol after their “workout”.
I’m thinking the can of Crisco will be given a prison sentence. Is this a hate crime? If so, would he go, perhaps, to Leavenworth? Even the criminal military types would probably be pissed that a lard ass such as this was (?) blinding and then beating military personnel. A daily tuneup every day for a few years may make him see the error of his ways. He’s a morbidly obese tub of lard whose idea of getting lucky is having a Kleenex, lights out, in bed in his mommy’s basement. Can you imagine the type of ‘female’ attracted to this lard bucket? The self loathing is huge in this one.
There are three prisons IVO Leavenworth: US Penitentiary Leavenworth, the USDB-Fort Leavenworth, and the new Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility (opened 2010, also on Fort Leavenworth). The Federal penitentiary borders, but is not on, Fort Leavenworth proper.
Only military get sent to USDB or JRCF; civilian criminals get sent to the Federal Prison. At one time, it was a maximum-security prison. As of 2005, it’s considered “medium security”. It also has an adjacent minimum security camp.
The only military personnel he’ll encounter at USP Leavenworth, if he ends up there, are vets and retirees who committed serious Federal crimes and ended up there. And I kinda doubt he’ll end up there – there are closer Federal prisons to Philly than Leavenworth.
(Consulted Wikipedia to refresh my memory for the above. Good thing – I learned about the new JRCF and the downgrade of USP-Leavenworth to medium security when I did.)
Finest welder I ever knew came out of the civvie slam at Leavenworth. Probably could have welded Coke cans together with tiny perfect beads.
The self loathing is huge in this one.
Probably makes him easy to recruit for “causes” like this…a few “comrades” to praise him for his courage and martyrdom (and for not telling anything about who organized the “event”) might go a long way towards the self-esteem of someone who has no reason to have any….
So this is the motherfucker who left the voicemail yesterday.
But, but, but…theirs is the religion of peace, right?
Or maybe that is different terrorist group. Although leftism pretty much meets the criteria of a religion.
Probably Gaia worshipers, too.
If only a large murder of crows could gather outside the courthouse this individual will be leaving….
Ham slice makes Göring look svelte.
That extra chin of his will provide cushion when Bubba is holding his ears and pushing.
Is this were active duty those antifa would have been dead. What a shame. Maybe next time.
