John Brown Gun Club member responsible for Tacoma ICE Detention Center Attack

A claimed member of the Puget Sound Chapter of the John Brown Gun Club, Willem Van Spronsen, self proclaimed anarchist, was responsible for the failed attack on the Tacoma ICE Detention facility. The John Brown Gun Club are a Marxist armed militia that has chapters across the US and are related to similar groups such as AntiFa and Redneck Revolt.

Van Spronsen, who also went by the name Emma Durutti, was an anarcho-activist who wrote in his own manifesto before his suicidal attack “”I regret that I will miss the rest of the revolution” and “Doing what I can to help defend my precious and wondrous people is an experience too rich to describe. I am Antifa.”” according to Fox News. Seattle’s chapter of AntiFa view him as a martyr, writing on twitter:

When our good friend and comrade Willem Van Spronsen took a stand against the fascist detention center in Tacoma, he became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism. He was kind and deeply loved by many communities; we cannot let his death go unanswered. Throughout history we idolize figures like John Brown for their courage to take the ultimate stand against oppression, and today we stand strong in our support for yet another martyr in the struggle against fascism. May his death serve as a call to protest and direct action.

There have been no calls as of yet for Representatives Cortez, Omar and Talib as well as the entirety of the Democrat Presidential candidates to disavow such action which they have no doubt inspired and inflamed. This is however the very double standard we’ve come to expect among communists and their allies in the media.

From an insurgency model, the presence of a martyr among those already willing to act is incredibly significant, while and apparently having far more broad appeal to a mass base than did James Hodgkinson or Michael Dorner.

    I’m still training, preparing and studying and always will just for these types.

    Wow, didn’t see that coming from that side of the political spectrum… They are all such peaceful, earthloving dolks…

    No, really….

    Training every day — some combination of dry fire, live fire, BJJ, boxing, or conditioning.

    BTW did you mean to imply that Dorner was some kind of lefty? I hadn’t read that. Though that wouldn’t be a surprise if the enemedia swept that under the rug.

      Dorner was very much a leftist. The manifesto he left outlined his case for gun confiscation (the irony) through how “easy” it was for him (as an LEO, btw) to get suppressors and used several common communist talking points in it.

      A lot of folks didn’t take the time to read it. Probably memory holed by now.

    Know the enemy and train accordingly… lift heavy, ruck far, buy ammo…

    I’m confused. Someone acted out violently. Where are the parts of the article where we learn he was a “Trump supporter”?

      The same place that calls for the ‘squads’ immediate disavowal, censure, and expulsion from the House.

    When they say, “We cannot let his death go unanswered” and call for direct action, it could be interpreted as a call to kill cops in revenge.

    It would be interesting to know if the leftist controlled WA government is actively supplying, supporting, and training Antifa, at special privileged gun clubs. While legitimate, long standing gun clubs like the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club (45 mins west of Tacoma) have been closed down by the County/State government on fake charges, several times since the 80s, after being open for a hundred years (literally, I used to shoot there and be a member). Kitsap has a lot of former law enforcement and former military that are members, my trainers there were both. Sad.

      It wouldn’t be a shocker. AntiFa is the Democrat Party’s brownshirts and they’re getting topcover from the media.

  9. […] what would happen if someone armed the mob. Its not like they’re already getting violent, have top cover from a complicit media, or have radical politicians aiding […]

    If a conservative gun club had a member commit a shooting like this, they’d be all over TV begging and pleading for permission to exist while wearing sack cloth and ashes. These guys own it and encourage more. That kind of boldness could only come from having the support of some very powerful people.

    I expect there will be a thorough lack of any investigation by the FBI and DOJ, followed by a joint effort by local law enforcement to thoroughly not investigate this “gun club.” Finally we can expect to hear an urgent press release of complete silence from our POTUS about this leftist threat. *Sigh* at least he won the great Twitter battle of 2018-2019!

    Meanwhile in other news, a group of inept “sovereign citizens” who’s only threat to our country and Law Enfourcement seems to be the ability to bore them to tears at traffic stops is categorized as a terrorist group.

      The silence on the matter has thus been deafening.

      I’ve grown bored with the communist claims that the ‘great right wing terror threat’ even exists. Its a myth and always has been.
