Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #30: Tom & Friends Guard Gun Store From Domestic Terrorists

Standing in front of the gun shop they protected are some of the brave community members. Notice the boarded up store windows. BLM, Antifa and/or Hamas have been terrorizing the Greater Seattle Area for a decade now.

As the BLM/Antifa riots were raging in Seattle, the sheriff in neighboring Snohomish County got word that Antifa terrorists had plans to break into the Lynnwood Gun Store in Lynnwood, WA and steal firearms in late May & early June 2020. One need not speculate how these Democrat-funded terrorists would use AK-47s, AR-15s, shotguns, handguns, et al. The mass slaughter would have far exceeded that taking place in blue cities across America. When the carnage and destruction ended, the conservative total of murder victims nationwide was 25, half of whom were innocent black Americans, including two Seattle (black) teens.

CIVILIANS PROTECT THEIR COMMUNITY

In Tom’s words:

“Sheriff Adam Fortney and the ATF contacted the local American Legion, looking for some “badass veterans” to guard the gun shop. A friend from American Legion contacted me, a 47-year-old former Marine, and I spread the word amongst the guys I knew. Only one responded, a 73-year-old former Marine named Rick. We showed up and found there were seven other former Marines and a small handful of civilians, all of whom were armed and prepared for anything.

Sheriff Fortney met with us and the gun shop owner and explained that "It's imperative that nothing leaves this building, but do not engage, call us."
We all went to work boarding up all the windows, posting two men on the roof and creating a perimeter around the building. Sheriff’s deputies and Lynnwood police officers intermittently stopped by to check on the property.

We watched several cars race up, stop, and seemingly consider the odds then leave. I believe they were Antifa terrorists who were checking out the gun shop before looting it. The larger amount of rioters never made it that far north from Seattle, but they were less than half a mile away. Both the sheriff and some civilians kept us updated on where the rioters were. At the end of the first night, the gun shop owner and the sheriff thanked us profusely. Rick and I did the same for three nights. I believe other volunteers continued to go many more nights as domestic terrorists continued to express their hatred.”

NOTE: Rioting started in late May and ended in late September, 2020.

ST. LOUIS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS MURDERED DAVID DORN:

AFTERMATH: CONTINUING BLM/ANTIFA TERRORISM

The Biden Regime and Democrats profited so much from the 2020 riots that they voted to distribute $77 million nationwide to the states to suppress criticism of or actions against domestic terrorism from The Left. Washington State received some of that money.

Black Lives Matter and another defund police organization, Unidos of Snohomish County, brag that they funded a “social justice” candidate to successfully run against Sheriff Fortney. They cite as their motivation the fact that Fortney enlisted the help of armed citizens to protect the gun store. Said gun store went out of business less than two years after the 2020 riots. Washington’s politicians and the Biden Regime have been quite successful in recent years, creating one asinine regulation after another, making it extremely difficult for firearms dealers to make a profit. This is just one way The Left is disarming law abiding Americans, making them vulnerable to both domestic terrorists and ordinary criminals.

The Marxist attorney general, who is now governor, Bob Ferguson, created a task force, using tax dollars, to hunt down the hundreds of thousands of white supremacists he and The Left claim to be living in the state. Ha! Of course, their definition of “white supremacist” is anyone who disagrees with their hate-filled agenda, especially those who are bold enough to speak out. He put 31 people on this task force, not one of which are from organizations which could be called centrist or right wing. Ferguson appointed people from anti-police, anti-sheriff, anti-Freedom of Speech/Press, anti-Christians, and various other hate organizations including BLM Seattle’s head terrorist and Unidos of Snohomish County’s chief hater.
