Surprised there isn’t more interest in this thread.
It’s where Antifa trains.

The big news is that the local police actually responded.
Police ignoring Antifa attacks seems to be the norm in nearby Portland.
Good Lord. John Brown made his sons hack people up with swords.
There was a thread on the Charlottesville incident and these same…when I mentioned Antifa, ignored the their presence then too and criticized me for not swallowing the sheople food of that day being fed by the MSM. This is the station the train is visiting at now…on down the same track. I wouldn’t say much either if I were them.
This attack could have killed hundreds if Van Spronsen had been successful in his attempts to get a large propane tank to ignite a the site:
In a statement, ICE called Van Spronsen an, “Anti-immigration enforcement protester” and said he attempted to ignite a commercial-size propane tank attached to the facility. “This could have resulted in the mass murder of staff and detainees housed at the facility had he been successful at setting the tank ablaze,” said Shawn Fallah, an ICE resident agent in charge. ”These are the kinds of incidents that keep you up at night.”

I am sure that the story would receive much more attention if media could establish even a plausible theory that the attacker was a Trump supporter.
A propane explosion/fire may not be quite the same as hacking people with swords, but it certainly is in the spirit of John Brown’s fanaticism.
Thoughts and prayers to those affected by this senseless tragedy.

Terrorist, antifa, a difference without a distinction.

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.
At some point Antifa needs to be designated a terrorist organization and allow FBI deal with em…instead of involving themselves in politics.

Yes. I am much more concerned about the use of incendiary devices than divisive and incendiary rhetoric.
The governor’s statement seems to confuse speech with violence.

Indeed… a truly archetypal leftist dupe. Dumb as a doorknob.
Maybe. If they also crack down on radical white supremacist groups, then antifa is no longer needed.

Maybe you would have a point if they weren’t just randomly attacking anyone who isn’t far left like the gay Asian dude they sent to the hospital with a brain hemorrhage. There not going to find the hardcore fascists they say exist in Portland, let’s be real.
Portland is three hours south of me, your more likely to run into a socialist in Portland than just a centrist republican. They need to travel to Dresden if they want to find some neo-naz’is to fight.

I think the “attack” was aimed at the employees of the detention center. Police arrive and this misguided individual has a rifle. No report of a shoot out or what led to the LEO’s to send him to the afterlife but if a lawful order was given and he didn’t comply or raised his weapon toward the police? Well that’s known as “suicide by cop” these days.
You are of the opinion that if “white supremacists” are eradicated the lunatic fringe radical lefttist groups like ANTIFA will go away?
Just checking.
