Hey dems, still think these sh*tstains are “fine people”?
A protest outside the federal immigration detention center in Tacoma last year drew headlines when a 68-year-old man wrapped his arms around a police officer’s throat and shoulders in an apparent attempt to free another protester.
When police got the man into handcuffs, they found a collapsible baton and knife in his pocket, leading to criminal charges.
Early Saturday morning, that man, Willem Van Spronsen of Vashon Island, returned to the Northwest Detention Center, the holding facility for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, this time armed with a rifle and incendiary devices, according to Tacoma police.
Police said Van Spronsen tossed lit objects at vehicles and buildings, causing one car fire, and unsuccessfully tried to ignite a propane tank.
Van Spronsen’s death came on the eve of Sunday’s planned national raid by ICE targeting thousands of undocumented immigrant families who the government said missed court hearings or who had received removal notices. Seattle is not among the 10 cities being targeted in the raids.
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.”
She and other friends of Van Spronsen got letters in the mail “just saying goodbye.” He also wrote what she referred to as a manifesto, which she declined to discuss in detail but predicted would be taken by authorities.
Maru Mora-Villalpando, an activist with the group La Resistencia, which has frequently protested the conditions at the detention center and broader immigration policy, said she did not know Van Spronsen. Nor was La Resistencia involved with the June 2018 protest at which he was arrested, she said.
Van Spronsen had worked as a self-employed carpenter and contractor, according to court documents. He was also a folk singer, playing shows on Vashon Island and around the Seattle area.
So he was a wanker. Fuck him.
only 20 hours late while you were posting about wnba players and ross perot
We’re gonna miss you. -bfh
Good for him. He got off my planet with no prodding. Apparently, however, they failed to blow his head clean off.
BTW, if you go to the Seattle Times website three times, you then get a pop-up that says:
Not worth $1.
A detention center in…Tacoma Washington…for who white Canadians?
Wow, talk about deep infiltration from the deep south and Deep State into the far north.
Gangs gangs GANGS. Get them OUT.
Long Island as well and other places.

Oh did you have the story on YOUR blog? Why didn’t you tell us?
It’s a start…
“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 …”
No fucknut, a suicide is when you kill yourself. What this douche canoe did was force some cop to shoot him. Hows that cop feel? Enjoying desk duty while filling out interminable forms no doubt. I’m sure thats been his lifelong dream.
Typical boomers. They cant even end their own worthless lives with fucking up someone elses life.
And again, if you really are too pussy to shoot yourself, I’ll be glad to do it for you. No paperwork. 50 bucks flat rate.
DECLARE MARTIAL LAW
All state political forces are made to stand down, or be temporarily removed from positions that could interfere with federal operations. Open up data bases and arrest any and all who resist removal orders.
Raid all agencies that give out EBT cards, housing, university student database, and employers known to hire illegals.
Create a temporary detention center like in Guantanamo Bay, maybe somewhere in South America (Jonestown is available) and slowly document, photograph, DNA test, and remove each person to their home country, and charge each country for the trouble.
Declare a national emergency, and block off the border with troops and put up that wall working on both ends and one in the middle.
GET R DONE!
This event did not happen in a vacuum. It was not by accident that it happened in Tacoma.
OK, Tacoma politicians, now you can cool it. You have got Tacoma the “street cred” amongst your peers you have been looking for for the last three decades. You have achieved your wet dream of becoming, with Portland OR, nationally recognized as a Seattle Mini me. A place where acting out in this manner is elevated to a virtue.
Another disgrace to the concept of managing a city in a manner that encourages the civil society and the epitome of what it means to respect diversity of opinion.
You not only condone this type of acting out, you actively encourage it. If you knew the meaning of shame you would collectively resign your offices and go off and live in obscurity, but you have no dignity. You are, collectively and individually, the poster children of the infantile notion that all cultures are equally valid and worthy of being tried out in a giant social experiment based on some nebulous hope for nirvana.
You are unworthy of respect as mature rational thoughtful leadership material.
What miserable pathetic failures you are.
In a truly civil society tolerance would no longer be extended to Antifa, in Tacoma Antifa tactics are seen as legitimate by a majority of elected officials. Diametrically opposites, and unfortunately, in Tacoma’s case it will only be getting worse.
Tacoma’s politicians exude a preferential option for those who act out in ways that are recognized by civilized men as unacceptable. This did not happen in a vacuum, not by a long shot.
Anqueefa!
MUST be ‘Queefer Madness!’ 🙄
I love a happy ending. He was a “folk singer.” LOL! He ain’t singing any more!
@JDHasty: 100K ^s! Perfect!
forcibly deranged
Typical Boomer? Fuck you kid. My life is not worthless and never has been.
Let’s extend this to ALL Antifa members. They are domestic terrorists and should be executed.
If the Weimar Republic had executed the Brown Shirts we might have averted WW2. History will judge us harshly if we do not put these subversive radicals in their place.
“Ridding America of illegals, one illegal at a time.”
Let’s hope that ICE doesn’t adopt that worn-out marketing phrase. We want them removed 20,000 at a time.
I’m with Braden. One less AntiFa bastard is a start. So let’s expand the fun!!! ;^)
I prefer the Norwegian method of dealing with antifa-like organs. first rule is to arrest law breakers. second rule is to laugh at them, not praise them or fear them.
as for those coastal communities, as they found out in Miami,hard to swim with fifty pounds of chain locked around the waist. oceans are cold and deep and fish are hungry.
