Concord Man Sentenced In 2019 Hate Crime Case

A Concord man was sentenced Friday in a 2019 hate crime case that centered on comments the man made on a video game site, according to the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office.

Ross Anthony Farca was sentenced to five years and eight months with one year to be served in Contra Costa County Jail and four years and eight months to be served in state prison.

In 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.

Using the screen name “Adolf HItler (((6 Million)))”, Farca said he waned to kill Jews and police officers with a homemade assault rifle while live-streaming his actions, and he cited two mass shootings in San Diego and New Zealand as inspiration, according to the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office.

He was on the video gaming site Stream when he made the comments.

Police obtained a warrant to search Farca’s home and found an assault weapon, 13 magazines, bullets and books about Hitler and Nazism.

Following his conviction by a jury, his sentencing was delayed three times due to mental health diversion hearings.
