The University of Washington (UW) became the latest battleground in the radical left’s escalating campaign of lawlessness as an Antifa-led mob stormed an engineering building, lit fires, and chanted violent slogans against law enforcement. The chaos, fueled by anti-Israel rage, resulted in dozens of arrests—yet another example of how far-left agitators are hijacking campuses while the liberal media downplays their extremism.
Violence, Vandalism, and Calls for Cop Killings
Protesters, many clad in the signature black bloc attire of Antifa, barricaded themselves inside the building, started dumpster fires, and clashed with police. Shockingly, they were caught on video screaming, “Death to the police! Abolish the police!” and “Every cop death is a victory for the resistance.” These are not the words of peaceful demonstrators but of domestic extremists who openly glorify violence.
Footage shared by journalist Cam Higby shows agitators advancing on officers, wielding makeshift shields fashioned from garbage can lids, while others blocked entrances with chairs and their own bodies. Despite their bravado, armed police eventually breached the building, arresting at least 32 individuals. The university confirmed that those arrested face charges including trespassing, property destruction, and conspiracy—yet the mainstream media continues to frame such riots as “protests.”
UW’s Long History of Caving to Radicals
This isn’t the first time UW has been held hostage by far-left activists. Last May, anti-Israel protesters set up an illegal encampment, refusing to leave until the university caved to their demands, including the creation of a taxpayer-funded “Palestine” academic committee. In November, UW President Ana Mari Cauce’s home and car were vandalized with Hamas-inspired symbols—yet the administration still refuses to take a firm stand against this extremism.
While UW claims it “will not be intimidated by this sort of offensive and destructive behavior,” its track record suggests otherwise. The university has repeatedly negotiated with radicals, emboldening them to escalate their tactics. Meanwhile, the liberal media spins these incidents as righteous activism, ignoring the blatant antisemitism and calls for violence.

The Hypocrisy of the Left-Wing Press
If this were a conservative protest, headlines would scream “Insurrection!” and “Domestic Terrorism!” But when Antifa and pro-Hamas rioters take over buildings, set fires, and call for dead cops, the same outlets sanitize the story, labeling it a “demonstration” or “uprising.” The double standard is glaring—and dangerous.
It’s too bad a single car didn’t pass the protest for a drive by shooting. And since it was a single car we can say the drive by was “mostly peaceful”. Then the police don’t look too hard for the shooters since Antifa was protesting the police. Next act, more copy cat shooters making Antifa targets.
Bet I could put down that entire line of morons with about 5 rounds from my scatter gun.
Either arrest them or shoot them.
Politicians, DA’s and the Judges are a problem. Fk Wasington State and Wasington DC!
The later sounds good. It’s the best way to eliminate useless vermin.
Sell lottery tickets with 1 or 2 dozen pissed off Americans and let us take care of these cowards. We’ll bring our own tools and large dogs. Problem solved.
