A former Marine pleaded guilty Thursday in a 2022 firebombing attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic in California, federal prosecutors said.
Chance Brannon, 24, is one of three men charged in the Molotov cocktail attack on the building in Costa Mesa, which occurred while Brannon was an active-duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, officials said.
No one was hurt in the March 13, 2022, incident, which occurred in the early morning when no one was there. The front entrance had some burn damage, and the clinic had to reschedule about 30 appointments.

Brannon also had a rifle with a Cyrillic message that referred to death and a racial slur, as well as a thumb drive with a recording of the Christchurch, New Zealand, white supremacist mass shooting, the plea deal says in a statement of facts that Brannon agreed to.
What exactly did these idiots hope to achieve?
Terror
Doesn’t seem to have worked out for them, considering their ‘terror’ appears to have resulted in a mild inconvenience and them getting court sentences.
That’s not entirely true, attacks on Planned Parenthood around the nation have led to several of them being closed, and both staff and patients being too afraid to go there.
Even though jailing the domestic terrorists is a good step to keep them from continuing it, it’s not necessarily enough to stave off the terror.
I am only talking about this specific instance.
Then you are ignoring the entire event. Nothing happens outside of context. Removing context is purely stupid and a failure to analyze.
In this specific instance, the staff and patients may have been intimidated.
