"Ex-Marine Receives 9-Year Sentence for Firebombing California Planned Parenthood Clinic"

Former Marine Chance Brannon was sentenced to nine years in prison for firebombing a Southern California Planned Parenthood clinic in 2022. He pleaded guilty to multiple felony counts and admitted to planning additional attacks on a second Planned Parenthood clinic, a Southern California Edison substation, and an LGBTQ pride night celebration at Dodger Stadium. Brannon, who was an active-duty Marine at the time of the bombing, has been in federal custody since his arrest in June 2023. His co-defendants have also pleaded guilty and are scheduled to be sentenced in May. U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney described Brannon's actions as "cruel and indefensible domestic terrorism."
