A Trump supporter infiltrated an Antifa group in Sonoma<\/a><\/p>\n

For those not familiar with California geography, Sonoma is a city north of San Francisco probably best known for its connection to the state\u2019s wine growing region. Frankly it\u2019s not the sort of place I would think of as a hotbed for Antifa but apparently there is a small group that has recently taken it upon themselves to vandalize and target people for possible doxing.<\/p>\n
\n
San Francisco\u2019s ABC affiliate was investigating the some recent vandalism including leaving a pig\u2019s head and pig\u2019s blood at the home of an expert witness in the Derek Chauvin trial. Somehow, during that investigation, they discovered that there was already a Trump supporter who\u2019d been infiltrating one group of activists and keeping records on their activity, including recordings of some of their online chats, like this one<\/a>:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Marb:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cIt\u2019s May Day, baby, like come out and take, take somethin\u2019 over with us, I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t (bleep) know.\u201d
\nMember:<\/b>\u00a0\u201cLet\u2019s kill people. (laughs)\u201d
\nMarb:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cLet\u2019s kill some cops.\u201d
\nMember:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The text sounds a lot more threatening than the audio. In the recording, which you can hear below, this sounds like college kids larping as radicals. That doesn\u2019t mean it shouldn\u2019t be taken seriously. I wonder how much of the dumb behavior these groups get up to is really about college-aged guys trying to impress college-aged women with their commitment to the cause.<\/p>\n

The group apparently kept a list of people they planned to dox and\/or harass and even visited the homes of some individuals late at night to scout and observe. They also appear to have either been directly involved or at least learned about acts of vandalism, such as the incident with the pig head, before anyone else.<\/p>\n

\n
The group initially called itself SoCo Antifa, but concerns about attracting FBI attention led them to rebrand it SoCo Radical Action. ABC 7 reports that it identified the leader of the group, who goes by the name \u201cMarb\u201d online<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The I-Team has learned the group\u2019s leader who goes by the screen name \u201cMarb\u201d is a 25-year-old college student, who was arrested for \u201cfelony assault on a police officer\u201d last year at this Oakland riot after the death of George Floyd; the district attorney declined to file charges\u2026<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve been working on the story, Marb has been taking down his social media, both the public and private accounts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don\u2019t support doxing people to harass them but I also don\u2019t think people who vandalize public and private property deserve a pass. It appears Marb\u2019s ID has been passed on to the police so they can investigate his connection to vandalism and possible threats. If the police decide there\u2019s evidence to charge him then we\u2019ll eventually get his name along with a mugshot.<\/p>\n

As for the infiltrator, he said he just saw the group\u2019s manifesto online and sent them a message saying he wanted to help them smash the fash. It wasn\u2019t hard to convince them he was a like-minded comrade. \u201cIt felt like seeing Antifa getting sort of a pass all the time from government saying they don\u2019t exist, saying that they\u2019re a myth, saying that they\u2019re just an idea. You know, when obviously, they are very real, and they\u2019re a big threat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n
I don\u2019t think he means that this particular group constituted a \u201cbig threat\u201d but he\u2019s certainly right that groups like this in places like Portland have done a tremendous amount of damage and largely gone unpunished thanks to progressive DAs who just keep dropping charges against them. Here\u2019s the full report from ABC7.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
