A man armed with a rifle threw incendiary devices at an immigration jail in Washington state early Saturday morning. The Tacoma Police Department said the officers responded at about 4 a.m. to the privately run Tacoma Northwest Detention Center, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security detention facility that holds migrants pending deportation proceedings.
Police killed man allegedly attacking immigration prison.
The shooting took place about six hours after a left-wing rally in front of the detention center, police spokesman Loretta Cool said. She said another rally was planned for later Saturday, but it would have to be held in a different area because of the investigation into the police shooting.

Police: Man with Rifle, ‘Incendiary Devices’ Attacked Migrant Detention Center Hours After ICE Protest

By: Bob Price, Breitbart Texas, 13 Jul 2019:
Police in Tacoma, Washington, say they shot and killed a man armed with a rifle and throwing flammable objects at a migrant detention center. The attack followed a rally outside the facility by several hours. The motivation of the attacker has not been released at this time.
An employee at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma called police early Saturday morning to report a man with a rifle who was throwing “incendiary devices” and setting vehicles on fire, according to a report by QFox13.
The attack on the migrant detention center followed by several hours, a rally by migrant supporters outside the facility operated for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement by GEO Group.
It is unknown at this time if the individual was attacking the facility with anti-ICE motivations, anti-migrant motivations, or if it was unrelated to either motive; however, a statement from GEO Group, a Florida based company that operates the facility in Tacoma, attributed the attack to the anger resulting from misrepresentations in media.
The statement, published by QFox13 blamed a “factually inaccurate portrayal” of their detention centers for spurring “misplaced aggression and a dangerous environment for our employees.”
Tacoma police reported that officers responded to the call at about 4 a.m. on Saturday. The officers say the man wore a satchel and was holding flares, the Seattle Times reported. Spokeswoman Loretta Cool told reporters that officers reported, “shots fired.” The officers then fired at the suspect, she said. When officers approached the man, they determined he had been shot and killed.
“Police fired on the man in a parking lot across from the facility, striking him fatally,” QFox 13 reported.
Cool told the Seattle Times it is not clear at this time if the suspect shot himself or if police officers shot him. Officials have not yet released the suspect’s identity.
A rally planned for Saturday afternoon by the group La Resistencia had to be postponed due to road closures around the facility and the ongoing investigation, the group posted on its Facebook page.
Cool said that four officers were involved in the shooting. The four officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
The statement from GEO Group concluded, “Violence of any kind against our employees and property will not be tolerated. We are thankful for the quick and brave action by the Tacoma Police Department, which prevented innocent lives from being endangered.”

Great read! Yet I wonder if Ann & Pam’s struggle is worth it. Maybe someone must and I am truly grateful for both. Does their fight make a difference though? Of course it does and someone must but against the chronically, extremely well-funded nonsense what chance does anyone really have? What if it is better to “embrace the suck” and let the suck win and then, once the suck pulls everything down fight it then? Sometimes the evil suckers fight themselves. I know this is sucky reasoning but it seems like no matter what good people do, bad people continue to have an annoying edge. Let them taste true Shariah and they are guaranteed to spit it out and love Pam instead of treating her poorly.

I can’t verify the politics of the shooter, but here in the PacNW, especially in Freattle there is an ANTIFA redneck sub-group that believes in using firearms to further their agenda…obviously KKK throwbacks ala Pac Northwest.Trying to understand them is like attempting to get into the mindset of a sadistic child that enjoys torturing and killing animals…in my honest opinion? Useful idiots whose Lilliputian minds have been corrupted by our hyper-politicized public education complex….and MSM.

This man was one of the members of this ANTIFA MILITIA Group in Portland, OR general area. Their group was recently on CNN for a Special Report on them, The Shooter was in that Video on the report. The CNN Still photo of the Video displays this shooter, who is Bald wearing a red bandanna standing to the right rear of the group of similar clad men who are ANTIFA Militia members. His manifesto letter also claims he built an AR 15 Ghost Gun himself; a semiautomatic rifle with no serial numbers identical to a Colt AR 15. These people are Dangerous Anarchist Communists and must be Disbanded, They are Out to start a Civil War in the USA to bring down the Elected Govt. here and usher in a New Communist World Order Govt. in it’s place. The ANTIFA Movement is Worldwide and is being sponsored / financed by George Soros.

If these illegals were released it would cost the taxpayers and the economy at least $50,000 a year for each one of them! This facility has about 1200 inmates awaiting deportation and that’s going to save $600 million over the next ten years. There are over 40 million illegals in the USA costing the taxpayer 2 TRILLION a year. That would pay for health care for every American citizen and pay for all of the infrastructures that need to be repaired and built as well as give every American a 15% boost in social security payments. We could even balance the budget! That’s exactly how the argument against illegal immigration should be framed. Its a winner and everyone white, black, or brown can understand it.

Sadly the left may have good intentions but they are misplaced because they can never see the bigger picture. We had the same with the left wing labour party who nearly bancrupted the UK before the conservatives had to take over and clear up the mess but by then the damage was done. Labour had opened its doors to mass imigration and look where we are now with the muslim cricis. Our government now imprisons our own people for exposing the government coverup on pakistani muslim rape grooming gangs.So our conservative party have now gone over to the left and we are in trouble.

Other News Agencies posted this Attacker’s Name… HE has a Police Record as well as being a Leftist Radical.. He was Arrested at a Leftist Anti ICE Demonstration there within this past year. He returned this time armed with an AR 15 Type rifle, satchel full of Loaded 30 round mags, as well as wearing a tactical vest with six 30 round mags, semi automatic pistol, additional pistol mags as well as home made fire bombs,, i.e. fire bombs… wearing a combat BDU uniform… First he protested this ICE Detention center, Then he returned fully armed… The Police Got him this time, Took Him Out.. Problem is there lurks hundreds more in his place. As other articles have exposed several leftist militant groups who are Leftist Militias that are armed and planned to do the same thing.. not just to ICE Detention Centers or buildings but to TRUMP Supporters as well. They are Trying to Start a Civil War… Time to practice our 2nd Amendment Skills…
