Four Republicans in Congress introduced a bill that would punish those wearing masks and committing acts of egregious injury against others — in the name of the First Amendment, no less — up to 15 years in jail.
The act is aimed at combatting antifa members who are largely funded by George Soros.
The bill, “Unmasking Antifa,” was introduced after members of the violent organization committed one too many acts of violence against peaceful citizens and MAGA hat-wearing President Donald Trump supporters.
From Zero Hedge:
Following a spate of violent attacks by masked members of Antifa, four GOP members of Congress are taking matters into their own hands.
A measure introduced last month in the House would punish anyone wearing a mask who “injures, oppresses, threatens or intimidates” a person “in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege” with a fine and up to 15 years in prison.
Introduced to the House Judiciary Committee by Rep. Dan Donovan (R-NY) and co-sponsored by Peter King (R-NY), Ted Budd (R-NC) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ). H.R. 6054, the “Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018” states:
Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, while in disguise, including while wearing a mask, injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both.
The bill also includes 2 years of jail time for “Destroying buildings or property” while wearing a mask or disguise.
One of the more notable incidents of Antifa violence was an assault on a Trump supporter by Bay Area professor and anarchist, Eric Clanton, who was “unmasked” by users of popular internet forums and arrested and charged with four counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Clanton remains free on bail, while his trial has been postponed several times.
Meanwhile, a large skirmish broke out at a Portland conservative rally between masked members of Antifa and conservatives – which led to a viral video of a Proud Boy known as “Rufio” knocking out an Antifa member.

This is good news but it should have happened years ago. I wish the same could happen in the UK
TJB001, it is happening everywhere. The UK gets dumped on, sometimes rightly, but most westerners are asleep at the switch. Imagine if Trump had not won the Presidency; the Democrats would be pushing America toward a mirror-image of the UK, the EU and every other gutless western nation. Soros has his sticky, toxic fingers in more than some folks think.
Ziggy46, I agree. Considering HilLIARy stated; “I will increase the importation of muslem people by 500%”.
while conservatives slept left/liberal/jihadis took over colleges/schools.
Antifa is nothing more than Left/liberal brainwashed thugs instigated by pro-jihadis to attack , subvert free speech of republicans, patriots who oppose jihadis funded by OIC/soros like scumbags.
Left/Libs have been bringing jihad right into America. somali jihadis attack American citizens while police make excuses https://tinyurl.com/ycymp8wv
Its happening in Demonrat run counties/states .
Antifa is nothing more than an arrogant gang of glorified thugs.
Hitler used his brown shirts for the same reason.
Taxpayer22, I am sorry I missed your comment before I wrote mine.
R.Arandas, In the 1930s in Germany, they were called “Brown Shirts”. When Hitler no longer needed their dastardly deeds, they were beaten, disappeared or were vaporized. Today in America, these USEFUL IDIOTS are doing the same “job” as the “brown shirts”. How dumb these USEFUL IDIOTS are throughout history.
Antifa are ( ANTI – First Amendment , Alt- Left ) Fascists… funded by Soros..
In an 1998 interview with 60 Minutes ( Steve Kroft ) , leftie Soros said: helping the WW2 : German – leftie Socialists – as “the happiest time in my life.”
An incredible trait of a sociopath, is their complete lack of conscience, lack of empathy, remorse, guilt or shame.
Antifa Professor : Antifa has a right to beat peaceful opponents… Isaacson argued that Antifa terrorists have a right to physically assault / beat people they disagree with.
Mike Isaacson is a professor at John Jay College of criminal justice… this Charles Manson lookalike is an ALT- left professor.
Antifa is a terrorist group
No one puts on masks, and runs down the street, beating people up for their religious and political views like an Anti-fascist, with the exception of ISIS.
Wear a mask…..be taken to task!
GO AFTER SOROS IS A MUST IN THE US!
He stated that the US would be the hardest nut to CRACK & the US MUST ARREST THIS MONSTER!
He seeks the DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRACY & THE ISLAMISATION OF THE US & THE DESTRUCTION OF CHRISTIANITY!
Why this man is not behind bars is way beyond ME!!
U have to wonder why these people and the ones funding all the Caos don’t face crimes against our government is subversion sedition or treason why they are aloud to tear our country apart. Why are police aloud to funnel groups together until violence breaks out and then stand there and stand back and watch the peaceful unarmed unmasked people get beaten by the domestic terrorists unless this is what the government wants to destroy the country
These antifa are the true Nazi fascist. The movie the Purge is the true story about these cowardly anarchist bastards. There should be a law that any protest, rally or march, face masks are prohibited!

George Soros should be indicted for supporting terrorism. Antifa is international.
She keeps talking about her rights. What about her obligations? She has the
privilege of living here in the US. Honor that and work and take care of yourself
and your family and DO NOT BURDEN the hardworking,American taxpayers.
