An alleged tough guy antifa member known as the “Red Commander” was picked up om his way to a protest in Green Bay , Wisconsin, was arrested. The police found a flamethrower, smoke grenades and fireworks on him as well as a baseball bat. o what does tough guy do? He fell to the ground in the fetal position, started crying his eyes out and accused the officer of sitting on him.
Matthew Banta was that sniveling little crybaby and he was arrested just last month for pointing a loaded gun at a police officer and then biting and kicking him. He was released on a $10,000 cash bond. Part of the bail agreement was that he could not be in possession of any weapon. I think that a flamethrower might qualify as a weapon.
In last month’s arrest, Banta was charged with:
- second-degree recklessly endangering, use of a dangerous weapon (point a loaded firearm at an officer)
- battery to a law enforcement officer, use of a dangerous weapon (biting an officer)
- battery to a law enforcement officer (kicking an officer)
- resisting an officer, use of a dangerous weapon
- disorderly conduct, use of a dangerous weapon
This time he was charged also with two counts of felony bail jumping. If they get their hands on him again, he will remain in custody until his trial. He will get time served for whatever length of time he spends in custody prior to conviction.
You might recall our hero from a report in TheBlaze last month. See, a police officer said Banta pointed a loaded rifle at him — and bit and kicked him — during a Waupaca protest Aug. 1.
A criminal complaint also said a bullet was in the rifle’s chamber, WBAY noted, adding that police found 117 rounds of ammunition on Banta, as well as an 8-inch straight blade knife in a sheath on his belt.
While Banta posted $10,000 cash bond after last month’s incident, a condition of his bond was not being in possession of a dangerous weapon, the station said, citing the Brown County district attorney’s office.
