An anti-ICE agitator stole an ambulance, packed it with gas cans and rammed the emergency vehicle into a DHS office in Meridian, Idaho.
Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said the suspect stole the ambulance from St. Luke’s Hospital and poured accelerant inside of the vehicle.
“We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act,” Police Chief Basterrechea said.
“The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,” he said.
The police chief said “there has been a lot of rhetoric surrounding the Department of Homeland Security leasing office space at this location.”
“Comments on social media, such as ‘property damage isn’t violence,’ is absolutely false,” he said.
“This was absolutely an act of violence, and if the suspect had not been interrupted, there is no doubt this building would have been burned, putting the lives of first responders and others at risk,” he added.

Unfreakingbelievable. SMH
This is an act of terrorism. Not some stunt.
These leftists are insane. I do hope people are smart enough not to stay home midterm whether you are totally happy or not.
We do not want people like this to be in control of the country.
“The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,”
That’s what he focuses on? He sounds smart.
This is getting out of control. Notice how when black Americans are killed by illegal alien criminals, it doesn’t make the news? https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/when-black-and-killed-by-an-illegal
“We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act,”
Ya think?
He sounds woke
Start with the trannies and follow the money.
Did it not burn or explode????
Disregard my post#9...I just re-read the last sentence.....
YES
find them and give them 30+ years in prison
No possibility of parole
Mentioning a Dead Black pHD would be counter productive to the Leftist Agenda, so why bother.
She can still serve the cause by being a statistic of Blacks that are not served by the EMS that failed to save her life.
The cause goes on.
No video capture ?
Hospitals usually have a lot of cameras.
“He look like a man “ , reported eye witness, Ms Bunny Swan .
Looks like no one raised these little dirt bags. Guess going to your room on your tip toes with mom or dad holding an ear is no longer allowed. Thanks Dr spock.
When lesser crimes are not prosecuted escalation is inevitable.
That is the correct classification. Absolutely.
Vermin like this need be killed on the spot. It is an attack on our country and way of life. The same were it a military invasion.
” I do hope people are smart enough ... “
Hoping for that will never fail to disappoint.
Oh geez. I know it. 😟
