Wisconsin Antifa biochemist who firebombed pro-life group sentenced to federal prison

A Ph.D. biochemist who launched the antifa "Jane's Revenge" domestic terrorist movement has been sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for a firebombing terror attack on a pro-life organization in Wisconsin in 2022.

Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury threatened, "If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.” Federal prosecutors asked for at least 12 years but the Obama-appointed federal judge gave him a sweetheart deal. In prison, Roychowdhury has been speaking with comrades involved in the Antifa-linked terrorist "Stop Cop City" movement. 61 members of that movement, including an
SPLC staffer, were indicted in a RICO, terrorism and money laundering case.

At the time of Roychowdhury's 2022 attack, far-left accounts on social media tried to gaslight the public into thinking it was a fake right-wing attack. He has refused to identify one of his co-conspirators, and investigators found through his Signal messages that he was testing incendiary device-making with different chemicals. He was also obtaining chemicals for his comrades using grant money at UW Madison.

Roychowdhury's short sentence stands in stark contrast to an Ohio man, Aimenn D. Penny, who was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison in January this year after being convicted for also using Molotov cocktails when he attacked a leftist church for hosting drag events.
