YADA YADA YADA "COME-UPPANCE COMES FOR ANTIFA"---MANY THANKS TO RED PAPYRUS FOR THE LINK

This is trending mightily on many village and local pages. We'll skip the rest of the chatter--and go straight to the link for the NOT THE BEE ARTICLE---The only "folks" who are unhappy about the sentences handed down seem to be largely bot-driven, anonymous and/or fake accounts:



On July 4, 2025, this Antifa cell in Texas attacked an ICE facility with blasters.  Nine of them were promptly tracked down and arrested.

In March 2026, eight were found guilty by a jury of their peers.  Those eight have now been slapped with lengthy prison sentences.

U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of the most serious offenses in the case, including attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Prosecutors proved at trial that he shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the Fourth of July attack last year.

Again, the media has told me for years that these "antifascists" are the good guys, or that they are a myth, or that their terror cells are just an idea. MORE AT First Batch Of "Just An Idea" Gets Combined 450 Years In Federal Prison For July 4th Terror Attack | Not the Bee

THERE'S also a lot of chatter about Conley---some unhappiness over same----and her position on Israel in a very few corners. We'll let you find all this on your own.  Truth is many of us travel in different political spheres.
