Philly Mag: Philly Antifa Activist Tom Keenan Charged in Assault on Marines

I’m flagging this story for the DOJ and FBI

By what standard are RAM “serial rioters,” but an Antifa like Tom Keenan who travels across state lines to engage in violence and who has a long criminal record ISN’T a serial rioter?

“Last week, we told you that the Philadelphia Police Department was asking for the public’s help to identify a group of people who allegedly attacked United States Marine Corps reservists in Old City, and now police say they have one suspect in custody: Tom Keenan, who has been associated with Philadelphia’s antifa movement.

Investigators say that a group of men and women maced, punched, kicked, and robbed the reservists near Front and Chestnut streets on Saturday, November 17th, around 3:20 p.m., just down the street from the controversial “We the People” rally. The group allegedly called the reservists “Nazis” and “white supremacists.” …

In 2007, Keenan was arrested as one of the so-called “Love Park 4” after an incident involving a purported Ku Klux Klan rally in the well-known park near City Hall. He was charged with criminal conspiracy, institutional vandalism, resisting arrest, and criminal mischief, among other offenses, and eventually made a plea deal, pleading guilty to one summary offense of disorderly conduct, while all other charges were withdrawn.”

Why isn’t Trump’s Justice Department prosecuting Tom Keenan?

This is a slam dunk case. He attacked a group of Marines. He was almost certainly behind the attack on Philadelphia Police at the Blue Lives Matter rally in August. He is on video starting the violence in Charlottesville. He has attempted to intimidate people at their private homes. Undoubtedly, there is all kinds of other charges lurking in his criminal record.
