Antifa activist arrested for arson in Washington state Criminal investigations of other West Coast fires underway

WND Staff By WND Staff Published September 10, 2020 at 8:29pm

Amid criminal investigations into the origin of many of the fires that have devastated communities in Washington, Oregon and California, a 36-year-old man with a history of radical activism has been arrested.

Jeffrey Acord was arrested Wednesday for setting a brush fire near a freeway in Puyallup, Washington, south of Seattle.

In 2014, he was arrested during protests of the Michael Brown decision with a cache of weapons, ammunition and explosive materials in his backpack and vehicle.

KOMO-TV in Seattle reported at the time that investigators said Acord was seen reaching under a car with a road flare. Among the weapons in his possession were a 7-inch knife, an assault rifle, a shotgun and a box full of large fireworks.

Attempted mass murder, or terrorist act with a free ride to Gitmo?

Socks to be him.

If the police were to go “Kent State” on Antifa, would anyone really care?

That’s not true, PolitiFact and every other major digital news source and publication has said so.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/sep/10/facebook-posts/antifa-activists-did-not-start-west-coast-wildfire/

Go check it out! Go to Google and type in “did antifa start the fires in Oregon” and watch what happens. The mainstream media couldn’t have acted any faster to defend Antifa.

Let me guess. This person has a previous record, and might have even been picked up by the police during the riots in either Portland, Seattle, or both, and was let go without charges. Change my mind.

“The fire was rumored to have been set by Antifa, but Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara said the evidence indicates otherwise.

“One thing I can say is that the rumor it was set by Antifa is 100% false information,” the police chief told OregonLive by email. “We have some leads, and none of it points in that direction.”

Reminds me of how the “authorities” are as equally quick to dismiss the possibility that a Muslim might have carried out an act of terrorism.

But Homeland Security and the FBI keep telling us that.“White Supremacists” are way more dangerous than BLM and AntiFa.

FBI, Homeland Security, and other IC orgs were well aware, but squashed this stuff under the “0”.

Explain to me how a convicted felon has an ‘assault rifle’ on him?

Right on!

Just like the Bosheviks broke out large numbers of dangerous criminals from Russian prisons, serving to help create the anarchy Marx called for well in advance, to overwhelm and destroy societal order, the DNC is fully implementing today.

Those criminals helped burn and destroy everything, including food crops.

The global socialist/marxist communist behind the entire environmental “climate change” propaganda machine couldn’t care less about the environment, or for children.
