An Antifa man with a bomb was arrested this past January 6th at a political rally in Florida. The suspect, Garrett James Smith, was seen running away before he was apprehended by police and caught with a backpack containing a pipe bomb, a gas mask, pepper spray, smoke rockets and flammable rags. He also carried a “Direct Action” Checklist (see photos below).

Smith was there to counter protest a rally organized by Trump Supporters outside of Pinellas County Jail to demand the release of Political Prisoner Jeremy Brown, who remains in jail with no bail in Florida. Brown is a decorated U.S. Army special forces soldier.
According local Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, officers chased Smith — who “stuck out” dressed all in black, including a ski mask — when he suddenly sprinted away from the rally.

According Gualtieri, officers found a homemade pipe bomb in his backpack, which “had the potential to be very harmful,” the sheriff warned.
“It could have been very destructive, and he could have hurt a lot of people,” Gualtieri said, adding that he was certain Smith was “prepared” to set off the bomb before he was spooked and fled.

Authorities searched Smith’s home and found another pipe bomb, hand grenade-style explosives, nails and duct tape. Smith also wore a helmet showcasing the “Iron Front” emblem (three red arrows in a circle). This logo is used by Antifa groups.
Additionally, the suspect had until several months ago been based in Portland, Oregon- a city that’s name has now become synonymous with violent riots and the left wing militant group.

Smith is being held on a $300,250 bond. He was charged with three counts of possession or discharge of a destructive device and one count of loitering and prowling. Contrast this with the treatment of January 6th political prisoners, who continue to suffer in prison with no bail on 22 hour a day lockdown- many of the accused of non-violent crimes like loitering and disorderly conduct.
Two-Tiered Justice System?
“We’re fortunate in this situation that something caused Smith to flee before he ignited the explosive device and the deputies were able to apprehend him,” Gualtieri said.
*Sadly, there has as of yet been no coverage of this dangerous bomb scare by a left leaning media or centrist media organization. The New York Post and Fox News has reported it- but if you do a Google Search CNN, MSNBC and all the others have not reported on this at all. (Yet they couldn’t stop their incessant phony coverage on the January 6th anniversary of the “terrorist” Trump Supporters (not a single one accused of carrying a bomb or even a gun on January 6th).
No More “Equal Justice Under Law?”
“Equal Justice Under Law.”
These sacred words are inscribed on the front of the U.S. Supreme Court Building and taken directly from the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution- which states that no state shall “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
So why does the United States government continue to politically persecute Trump Supporters who participated in January 6th and continue to let Antifa defendants back on the loose for more serious crimes?
The above case of Smith is just one example of the government and Justice Department treating Antifa more favorably while continuing to persecute Trump supporters from January 6th in ways that many have compared to treatment of political prisoners in Communist China or Russia.
See article by Jim Hoft from December 30th about an Antifa who attacked police and got off with community service- DOJ’s Two-Tiered Justice System at Work: Violent Trans Antifa Activist Has Federal Charges Dropped for Assaulting Portland Police and Trying to Blind Them.
Another example- last December a self-described Antifa member named Alexander Starks broke into and vandalized a Republican senator’s office (North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven) with an axe and received an incredibly lenient punishment.
While awaiting sentencing for the axe attack, Starks reportedly wrote: “I am ANTIFA. I will always attack fascists, racial superiority complexes built around nationalism that promotes genocide to fuel a war machine is the worst humanity has to offer.”
Incredibly, the FBI returned the axe to Alexander Starks who posted it a picture of it on social media!
The FBI graciously returned an Antifa man’s axe to him. He used this axe to attack the office of a GOP Senator.
Furthermore, federal sentencing guidelines suggested 10-16 months in prison for Starks. He was only given probation and a fine of about $2,800! Compare this to January 6th detainees treatment- they are not eligible for bail and remain in 22 hour a day lockdown a year after January 6th, violating International Codes on Torture!
According to Constitutional legal scholar Jonathan Turley in a must read blog, Starks was supported by a GoFundMe account for his defense costs despite the company barring people from contributing to defendants like Kyle Rittenhouse (*and January 6th political prisoners) until after he was acquitted. He was also supported by Democratic politicians.
Tucker Carlson commented on the Stark’s axe incident on his show: “In case you’re looking for yet another example of justice applied unequally, here’s one: the Qanon Shaman just got three years in prison for walking, smiling around the Capitol building on Jan. 6. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, Antifa, BLM, riots, setting things on fire, the feds just went particularly easy on a vandal with an axe smashed into a U.S. senator’s office.”
Brainwashed Americans are applauding the political persecution of their “enemies” now, but it is only a matter of time before the pendulum swings and we are all targeted if we do not fall into lockstep with the government.
How long will it take the average American to realize what the ramifications of this heinous violation of the Constitution means to the future of this country?
