The man apprehended earlier this morning in relation to the shooting outside the MILO event at the University of Washington has been released by police the Seattle Times reports. The suspect wanted in connection to the shooting of a 34 year old man turned himself in to police this morning and was promptly questioned by the University of Washington police.
The Seattle Times article reports that, “one of the law-enforcement officials said the man who fired the gun claimed the man he shot was some type of white supremacist.”

On what grounds? Washington state stand-your-ground laws do not require to to retreat before using deadly force to defend yourself. If the shooter felt threatened then he was within his rights to fire first.
It’s the new BLM mantra, shoot a white person and claim that they are White supremacist. It’s like South Park’s ‘some Puerto Ricain guy’ joke.
This MAY be a slightly different video of the shooting with more detail:

I see that you’ve interpreted the Seattle Times article the misleading way the writers intended —— which is at variance with reality.
What if he felt “threatened” merely because the guy was espousing conservative talking points?

On the evening of Friday, January 20th, a comrade of ours was shot in the stomach in the most public place on the University of Washington’s campus in Seattle – a place called “Red Square” for the color of its bricks rather than its politics.
This Fellow Worker (what members of the IWW call ourselves) and Defender (for GDC members) is a longtime anti-fascist and dedicated activist, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and the General Defense Committee of the IWW. He’s currently in critical condition at Harborview Hospital in Seattle. They have a Level One Trauma center, so it’s likely he is receiving the best quality care available, for which we are deeply grateful.
Seattle and Portland are sister cities in sister States....
Is the IWW an actual union, or just a group of left-wing agitators?
Please explain the difference.
They’ve been around for awhile.
They never amounted to much except in the lumber camps of the NW.
More pie in the sky stuff.
Definitely socialist.
They were called “Wobblies”.
If he can make the case that he feared for his safety because of it then the law should protect him. People have made the claim of fearing for their life on a lot less.
Good find! Translation: The guy shot was a professional commie agitator and in all likelihood, the shooter did indeed feel his life was in danger...........
Looks like they are professional rabble-rousers.

The IWW is a member-run union for all workers, a union dedicated to organizing on the job, in our industries and in our communities. IWW members are organizing to win better conditions today and build a world with economic democracy tomorrow. We want our workplaces run for the benefit of workers and communities rather than for a handful of bosses and executives.
The IWW’s Stance on Ecology - Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.
The only thing worse than a Fascist is an Anti-Fascist.
