Police in Tacoma, Washington, killed an armed Antifa extremist early on July 13 after the man threw firebombs at the building and cars in the parking lot and attempted to blow up a large propane tank. The man succeeded in setting one car on fire before officers responded at 4 a.m. and gunned him down, according to the Tacoma Police Department. The man was armed with a rifle and wore a satchel with flares, the police said. No officers were hurt in the encounter. This mornings attack at the ICE detention center in Tacoma was a horrific act of violence that has shaken us all, Washington Governor Jay Inslee wrote on Twitter.

But they also used the phrase, “...gunned him down...”
I can’t believe the cop haters haven’t jumped all over that here...
Male, 69 years old, apparently went there intending to “suicide by cop”. Willem Van Spronsen.
More here, along with a copy of his manifesto he left.
The website is definitely leftist, calls him a hero and a martyr, recites basically all the far left talking points, I posted the link because it is one of a couple that have verbatim copies of his manifesto. Also has a claim from someone who recognized him from a meeting at a previous Antifa event. Interesting look at how they think, they actually seem to believe this tripe...
One interesting note, at one point he claims to be Antifa, and later says he is affiliated with no group...
The website is definitely leftist, calls him a hero and a martyr
See my tag line.

I’ve seen your tag line before, and more than a couple of times. But I have another thought...
It’s never a bad idea to know ones adversary. So now and then I do read their screeds, knowing it is lies and delusional propaganda and knowing they won’t change my mind one whit. I’ve been known to take a look at Democratic Underground now and then, Huffington Post, Salon...just to name a couple.
It helps to know how they think and what they say, as opposed to only checking out the views from MY side of the fence, going around with the political blinders firmly attached.
Even for them, defending Antifa is probably a bridge too far.
Thank you Pete...appreciate it.
