Concord resident Ross Anthony Farca was sentenced today in a hate crime case.
On December 1, 2021, Farca was found guilty of four felonies and one misdemeanor hate crime, two counts of criminal threats against investigating officers, possession of an assault weapon, and the unlawful manufacturing of an assault weapon.
Today, Farca was sentenced to five years, eight months — with one year to be served in Contra Costa County Jail and four years, eight months in state prison.
The case centers on comments Farca made on the video gaming site Steam in 2019. Using the screen name “Adolf Hitler (((6 Million)))” – a number referencing how many Jews were killed during the Holocaust — Farca said he wanted to kill Jews and police officers with a homemade assault rifle while live-streaming his actions. He cited two mass shootings in San Diego and New Zealand as inspiration.
Police were issued a warrant to search Farca’s home where they found an assault weapon, 13 magazines, bullets, and books about Hitler and Nazism. After a jury convicted him, his sentencing was delayed three times due to mental health diversion hearings.
Commenting on Farca’s sentencing, Deputy District Attorney Amber White said, “Today’s sentencing ensures the safety of the residents of Contra Costa County and the greater Jewish community. Hate crimes disrupt the lives of both direct and indirect victims, and this sentence demonstrates that hate never wins.”
The guy has many crossed wires. Without a labotomy I wouldn’t let him out.
6 years for an illegal search and seizure stemming from comments in a video game. Mark my words, he will be paid millions of your tax dollars. You wait.

Sam,

Please read the article in more detail.
.
He expressed himself but also made threats.
.
Law enforcement substantiated “probable cause” in obtaining a search warrant based on his claim of possession of an illegal firearm.
“hate never wins.”
I guess we will see about that in 7 years or so.
My thoughts exactly. Only postponing his mental “break”
… with the current thinking and lack of leadership he’ll be out in 2
Thought “crimes”.
Per a Crematorium Expert: The math doesn’t add up based on how long it takes to do cremations and how many were supposedly cremated.
Are you and Jeff Zimmerman questioning the number of Jews and others that died during the holocaust? Although the exact numbers will never be known, but it is established that about 11 million died altogether, not all in concentration camps, many were shot (look up Babi Yar). You are not doubting the brutality of Hitler’s regime, are you?
Not only were 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis but 11 million other people of other groups (Russians, Poles, Romani, Homosexuals, among others) were murdered.
.
Clearly this guy didn’t understand the right to freedom of speech.
.
I sat through hours of the trial with the guy. He has diagnosed mental issues along with his hatred, because of this he is a serious threat to the community. Espousing hate may not be a crime, but when you threaten to murder individuals of a community and the police officers who respond, you are going to prison. Oh, he also manufactured and an AR15, that’s a current problem as well.

It’s just a little silly. Anyone who has ever played a game online has heard this type of talk. This is how 80% of gamers communicate when competing online. Hard Rs, jew bashing and murder threats are screamed constantly. This will be rectified and taxpayers will pay for over charging and his “illegal gun” conviction will be tossed. It’s simply unconstitutional. All the virtue signaling in the world won’t make the boat float. Sorry.
So, it’s a hate crime to paint over BLM graffiti and to say you want to kill Jews (but not actually kill any.)
But it’s not a hate crime to say you want to kill white people and then actually do it, which has been the case with several black-on-white crimes as of late?
I get it.
How about you think about how many white people killed people of color I understand now why you commented anonymously you don’t wanna be exposed for not supporting the movement why? Oh right because you most likely think “blue” lives matter but blue lives isn’t a real thing, people like you are so ignorant honestly only thinking about yourself too bad your family is filled with so much hate
That’s a lot of gibberish, Andres.
What we were told was a holocaust? JEFF what do you think it was?
Another example of how much socialists hate fascists.
Everyone should hate fascists and a fascist government. As for socialist it depends, if they take power and try to force their will on other that is despicable. However, many countries have a socialist democratic system which is elected, many European countries have that, included most of Scandinavia, and people are quite happy. Contrary to the beliefs of many Americans, there is freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom to own property, to own a business and to travel
The socialists are the fascists!
It’s only a hate crime if the perpetrator has a certain skin color.
If the perpetrator is member of a group that is named a particular and different skin color, and is a looter and destroyer of personal property, businesses and government buildings, then that’s legal and perfectly OK.
