Antifa Leader Arrested on Assault, ‘Ethnic Intimidation’ Charges for Attack on Marines

A former leader of “Antifa” and an organizer for “Smash Racism DC” — the group that was briefly running Trump administration officials and allies out of Washington, D.C. restaurants, was arrested and charged this week for an assault on two Marines that included “ethnic intimidation.”

The Daily Caller, whose reporting originally exposed D.C. area “community organizer” Joseph “Jose” Alcoff, says Alcoff was booked on January 10 on 17 separate charges, including “multiple counts of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, conspiracy and terroristic threats, and one count of robbery while inflicting serious bodily injury” in connection with a coordinated Antifa attack on Marines Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres back in November.

The pair of Marines “testified in December that a group of 10 to 12 Antifa members called them ‘Nazis’ and ‘white supremacists’ and attacked them on the street despite their denials that they had no association with the right-wing group demonstrating nearby.”

“During the attack, Godinez said he shouted ‘I’m Mexican’ at the mob, which allegedly led the attackers to call him a ‘spic’ and ‘wetback,'” the Caller reported at the time. . .

Alcoff is, of course, an avowed “anti-Capitalist” who regularly participates in “anti-Fascist” demonstrations across the Eastern seaboard. His involvement with Antifa, however, is only a part-time gig. He also leads a group called “Smash Racism DC,” which rose to prominence in the summer of 2018 for their in-person protests of Trump administration officials like Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House allies on the issue of immigration, like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
