Non-binary Pro-Palestine activist handed 19-year jail spell for domestic terrorism
Story by Sophie Little
A non-binary, pro-Palestine, self-professed pacifist activist has been jailed for almost 20 years for domestic terrorism.Casey Robert Goonan was sentenced to 19 years and seven months in federal prison after committing a series of firebombings at UC Berkeley in June 2024 in an anti-Israel rampage.
The 35-year-old placed a bag of six explosives under a University of California Police Department patrol car, and lit it on fire, causing a blaze to erupt around the car.
Since the initial arrest on June 17, 2024, Goonan, who uses they/them pronouns, has been in custody.
According to the San Francisco Standard, Goonan told Judge Jeffrey White: “After spending over a year incarcerated, I’ve had time to reflect on the reality of my actions and the reality of my bipolar disorder. I understand that I need treatment.
“Committing an act like this is outside of my general character as my core belief is against perpetuating harm.”

Perhaps once it is released from prison it can be flown to a nice place, like iran where I am sure they will give it a warm welcome.

Or perhaps a raised view with a crane.

That Nighthawk looks pretty, but I’d be unwilling to carry/use/shoot it – which pretty much defeats the purpose of having a gun.
That’s a Texas Barbecue gun.
Fair point!
I could use that as a Texas Barbecue gun.
Pretty restrained for Turnbull work. Sometimes his colors are over the top.
Well good, then. You spent a year thinking about what you did, now you’ll be spending 19 more to think about it even more, freak.
Prison might be unpleasant, too.
Here is a feel good story for you
