Federal prosecutors who opted not to pursue charges against “Antifa” members cannot prosecute a Huntington Beach man accused of helping establish a Southern California-based militant, white supremacist group whose members attacked rivals at Southern California political rallies, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Criminal charges against Robert Paul Rundo for allegedly recruiting and training others to commit violence at rallies in Huntington Beach, San Bernardino and Berkeley were dismissed by U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney, who accused the U.S. Attorney’s Office of selective prosecution for pursuing suspected “far-right, white supremacist nationalists” but not “Antifa and other extremist, far-left groups.”

Previous efforts by the same judge to throw out the same charges for different reasons have been overruled by appellate judges. Judge Carney also came under scrutiny several years ago over a “racially insensitive” comment that led to his stepping down as chief judge of the federal Central District Court of California.

1. Dirty judge.

Would love to see a forensic audit of his bank accounts and a deep dive into his social media. A W appointee. Of course he's a racist pig.

sitting on a hot seat.

3. Good Grief! Violence is okay with him if it comes from "the far right?!"

Sounds like he also supports the J6 insurrectionists! He deserves to not only have his opinions thrown out, but thrown off the bench!

4. "Antifa" is a bogey man al la Kaiser Soce in "The Usual Suspects."

There is no "Antifa" organization. The existence of such an organization is a right-wing myth. On the other hand, an Orange County right-wing association existed in the form of this particular defendant and the followers he recruited.

5. Completely untrue...

Antifaschistische Aktion was a Communist front group established in 1932 in Germany.

It is the inspiration for all modern "Antifa" groups that even use the same flag logo...

Of course, I agree that there is no "organized group" of that name in 2024... other than grass roots splinter groups...

Think of it this way... neo-Nazis aren't NAZIS because they don't have a NSDAP membership number issued pre-1945... but they "wanna-be" and believe in the same shit...

Antifa... same thing. It's a 21st Century version of the 1932 version.

But historically... it's very much real.

6. I cannot believe that stupid, warped, bigoted ruling will stand in appeals.

7. This is an attempt

to normalize white supremacist views.

Resist!
