“There’s no reason the police can’t come and shut these protesters down — rioters, sorry, rioters,” independent podcaster and commentator Tim Pool said on Tuesday.
Pool made the comment in regard to Antifa — yes, they never went away — reportedly occupying a portion of the University of Washington (UW) campus Monday night.
According to The Post Millennial, “Antifa militants” lit several fires, specifically in multiple dumpsters, and used them as a blockade to occupy the Interdisciplinary Engineering building on the UW campus.
A couple of on-the-ground reporters, The Post Millennial’s Katie Daviscourt and independent journalist Cam Higby, captured the fires, the barricades, and an alleged “encampment” that the Antifa terrorists set up.

This is the barrier that divides the encampment from the police who are lined up in the alley behind.

As for the reason for the riot masquerading as a protest, The Post Millennial reported the following:
Once authorities arrived, they issued dispersal orders, which were not heeded by the radicals. Fire fighters doused the flames and entered the building to remove the militants, who were protesting the university's relationship with Boeing, which they link to Israel.
A dispersal order was issued to the activists by police at 10:30 pm local time in response to the fires. Radicals responded by calling for reinforcements and setting up to attack police officers.
Not only that, but there was apparently a “manifesto” detailing the rioters support of Islamic terrorism around the globe to reach whatever end to Israel they can possibly achieve.
“We are taking this building amidst the current and renewed wave of the student Intifada, following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, which shattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination and brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world.”
Maybe some people were right that the biggest threat to this country is domestic terrorism. They just placed the bullseye over the wrong target.
Antifa is, and always will be, a black eye on the face of our society.
