Andy Ngô @MrAndyNgo - Wow. As the Antifa trial of the decade remains ongoing, prosecutors have presented to the jurors the unmasked identities of members of a secret So Cal Antifa chat group ("SD Fash Bash") on Signal where they discussed their plans for the attack at Pacific Beach. Self-identified journalist Sean Beckner-Carmitchel 
@ACatWithNews was in that group. He later deleted video evidence from Twitter. Another person unmasked is Portland Antifa member Robert Sneed (alias "Chip Nooo"). Sneed drove defendants Jeremy White and Brian Lightfoot from L.A. to San Diego, and he was in black bloc at the riot. 
@EvaKnott & I have a big story to come about the criminal trial. Stay tuned.
