They Firebombed My Office
2-1-24 ^ | John Hinderaker

Posted on 02/01/2024 6:45:13 PM PST by TChad

It is true that I have been in Washington, mostly to attend the Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn trial. I will write up my thoughts on the trial (or at least, those portions I have seen) when I have time.

But something else has been distracting me: leftists firebombed my office last Saturday night. At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses. The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment’s office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls’ organization. A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve.

I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators. As I told them, the list of potential suspects is long, as my organization is active, and unusually effective, across a broad range of issues. I will have more to say about this before long.

The office of John Hinderaker, of the conservative Powerline Blog, was just firebombed.

Sounds like 1930s Germany.

“Sounds like 1930s Germany.”

My very first thought, too. Stoking Jew-hatred. Scapegoating Jews. Firebombings. The press secretary saying our troops are fighting for Adolph Biden.

Then I thought “They can set forests on fire in winter, so they’ll set Conservative leaders offices ablaze.”

It was probably people that work for the FBI.

Bump. We need to keep bumping this. The mainstream media will ignore this.

I doubt that he was expecting this.

Also, the investigators may have confiscated any photos.

“I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators.”

Why would they investigate their own people?

And what if the FBI are the perpetrators?

Maybe he should go into stand up comedy. Because he set up the punch line to his joke so well. Then delivered the zinger:

“I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators.”

I didn’t see this on major news media outlets. Is this not news?

“I doubt that he was expecting this.”

Hinderaker still thinks it’s 1980. BTW I’ve been reading Powerline since it’s inception.

Yes, Hinderaker says that it happened last Saturday. But this thread is the first that I’ve heard of it.

His working with the FBI is akin to someone working with the National Socialist German Workers’ Party to find out how the Reichstag Fire got started.

Good luck with that.
