Continued outpouring of support from anarchists and Antifa for the apparent terrorist attack in Tacoma:
“We find his actions inspiring. The vehicles outside the detention facility are used to forcibly remove people from their homes and deport them, often to situations where they will face severe danger or death. Those vehicles being destroyed is only a start of what is needed,” the Puget Sound Anarchists wrote. “We wish the fires Will set had freed all the inmates and razed the entire Northwest Detention Center to the ground. And we miss our friend and wish from the bottom of our hearts that his action had not ended in his death.”
The fires that he set could have killed hundreds in the detention center.
The Democratic Governor of Washington has released this statement, which condemned violence after taking as swipe at the President:
"Along with many Americans, I object with every fiber of my being to Donald Trump’s inhumane treatment of immigrants in America. But if today’s attack was motivated by opposition to the federal government’s actions, it was totally unacceptable. Violence is not acceptable.
"Our democracy is strong and we are a resilient people. But it is, again, unacceptable to turn to violence. Hate crimes are on the rise, as is divisive and incendiary rhetoric.
"We must be better than that and find non-violent ways of pursuing the better world we want, as many groups are doing.
Hopefully the governor will support a full investigation of the Antifa members and anarchists who now openly support the attack. Several have admitted to advance knowledge of the attack and if they assisted in planning, supplies, etc. they could face criminal prosecution under federal or state laws.
