Armed 'anarchist and anti-fascist' attempted to firebomb ICE facility in Tacoma, killed ...
US Breaking News ^ | 07/13/2019

On Saturday, a man armed with a rifle and Molotov cocktails or flares, according to reports, and angered by “”factually inaccurate portrayal” of the facility, according to the company operating the facility, attempted to set fire to an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington.

Nevertheless, the media has not reported any connection with Antifa, nor are they speculating about what may have motivated this man, who made the attempt to set fire to the building amid protests against the building.

Deb Bartley, a friend of Van Spronsen’s for about 20 years, described him as an anarchist and anti-fascist, and she believes his attack on the detention center was intended to provoke a fatal conflict.

“He was ready to end it,” Bartley said. “I think this was a suicide. But then he was able to kind of do it in a way that spoke to his political beliefs … I know he went down there knowing he was going to die.”

And many young people today don’t know that the so-called “Antifa” groups are nothing more (or less) than re-branded anarchist groups; the same domestic terrorists who staged the “occupy” chaos.

Have only seen a Fox report of this.

If a domestic terrorist dies in the woods and no one reports it, did it happen?

The absence of reporting on this is appalling, but sadly not surprising.

The essential core of modern fake news has long been the selection of which stories to not report.
