There should’ve been 100 dead at the other location where they ripped down the American flag and ran up the Mexican flag. Good riddance to them all.

“Anarchist and Antifa” should be in the headline

Another victim of Democrat gaslighting and psywar. Fortunately, he didn’t harm anyone else on his way out.

" Deb Bartley, who told the Times she has been a friend of Willem Van Spronsen's for about 20 years, described him as an anarchist and anti-fascist, and believes his attack on the detention center intending to provoke a fatal conflict...

So they're saying he was a kind of over-enthused Antifa? A fringe Leftist?

Interesting, in a horrible way.

Unusual wording. Very unusual.

I suppose an attempt to take the emotion out. But usually they want to put their emotion into it.

This is because the left spewing anti-police anti-ice rhetoric. And embracing violence against them. The crazy are acting out because of the over the top hatred the left fake news media put out daily.

The left and the fake news media are to blame for this guys actions.

We know if this was a right wing nut the fake news would be blaming trump.

And no mention that the separation policy is to buy time to investigate Uncle Jose's claim that those five 14-year old girls with him are his nieces going to visit relatives even though he doesn't know any of their last names.

He was a communist intent on the same thing as Bush League Republicans, the dissolution of the United States of America.

I think once they arrived and it appeared that he was going to set a propane tank to explode....all nice-handling ended at that point. Somewhere in this....’Hank’ from King of the Hill would be commenting on the 44 dangers of propane tanks exploding.
