Army veteran Mark Steven Domingo of Reseda was convicted in a thwarted plot to bomb a right-wing rally in Long Beach in 2019.
A U.S. Army veteran from Reseda was sentenced Monday to 25 years in prison for plotting to set off a bomb at a Long Beach political rally in a thwarted terrorist attack.
“His clear intent was to intimidate this nation and the world, and he sought to influence world events and the conduct of the United States government through that intimidation,” Assistant U.S. Attys. Reema M. El-Amamy and David T. Ryan told the judge in a sentencing memo.Domingo had repeatedly expressed his desire to kill Jews, Christians, police officers, military personnel and others, they said.
As part of the plot, Domingo bought several hundred nails to be used as shrapnel inside the IED, and he thought that a cohort — who was actually an FBI informant — was finding a bomb maker who could use them, authorities said.in April 2019 after he took delivery of what he believed to be the IED from an undercover law enforcement officer posing as the bomb maker, the government alleged.
Domingo’s attorney, public defender David I. Wasserman, had urged Wilson to impose a prison sentence of no more than 15 years. Domingo endured a rough childhood in the San Fernando Valley, he argued. His father died of stomach cancer when Domingo was 5 years old, and the boy suffered chronic depression, had trouble making friends and was neglected by his mother, the lawyer said.
For a time, Domingo fell in with alt-right communities on Facebook and 4chan, platforms that extol and tolerate “offensive viewpoints and statements,” Wasserman said. He later started studying Islamic history. He had been “virulently anti-Islam,” but wound up identifying with Muslims’ victimization, he said.
