Shots Fired At Ice Offices In San Antonio
2019-08-14
[CBSNews] The FBI said Tuesday it is investigating after shots were fired in the early morning hours at a San Antonio office building that houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). No one was injured in the shooting, officials said.

Investigators say that around 3:00 a.m. Tuesday, shots were fired into a window of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and Removal Operations Field Office, CBS San Antonio affiliate KENS reports.

The FBI said no one had been arrested in connection to the incident, despite earlier reports from San Antonio police that there was a suspect in custody.

The FBI special-agent-in-charge Christopher Combs called it a "targeted attack."

"To fire indiscriminately into any building especially a federal facility is not an act of protest- it's an act of violence," Combs said at a press conference. "And in in this case it's an act of violence that could have resulted in the assassination of a federal employee. That cannot happen in San Antonio."

ICE San Antonio field office director Daniel Bible told KENS that he believed "political rhetoric and misinformation that various politicians, media outlets and activists" encouraged the incident.

National Review has the arrest:
The incident comes roughly one month after police shot and killed a lone gunman
the sorry excuse called Willem, remember ?
outside an ICE detention facility in Tacoma. Wash. The man was armed with a rifle and was throwing "incendiary devices" at the facility. He also tried to ignite a propane tank nearby. The attacker left behind a manifesto in which he identified himself as a member of Antifa intent on stopping the operation of "concentration camps" on U.S. soil.
I'm guessing this too is ANTIFA. I know unhinged protectionist wildcards can be daft bastards but they don't do this. A blind attack on a federal building is a statement. An anti-police statement. Maybe 'tifa is encouraging gun-trained 'lone-wolves' to take shots like they throw stuff. The angle of the shots from the photos is random, wild. No planning, no objective but to lash out and create a ripple. The feebs have a suspect. Let's see.

#8  Domestic Terrorism. This is a pattern of violent masked protests, the beating of civilians, disruption of local areas in cities, and now firebombing and shootings, as well as the progressive/anarchist screeds that accompany the activity.

Gosh, why does that sound familiar? Wait, I know! The Ku Klux Klan in the 50s and 60s.

#6  Forget ICE. Put the Army on the border with some robust ROEs.

#4  Let's see what happens when one of those randomly attacked civilians randomly shoots the attacker in self defense.

I've thought that could be the spark that lights the fuse.

#3  Ah, the echos of Bleeding Kansas.

This is going to get 'interesting'. You know John "Pottawatomie" Brown was a terrorist who tried to seize the arsenal at Harpers Ferry, VA. His angst was Congress' and the nation's unwillingness to resolve the slavery issue. They hung him.

The impasse to resolve the immigration issue because one side wants indentured voters to stuff the ballot box rather than free men seems somewhat familiar (not to mention the same parties involved).

And yet our dominant progressive media covers up, ignores or blatantly lies about all this, and worse yet, it propagates the lies that are fueling this terrorism, and fueling the reactions to this as well.

The progressives who run the media must be outed and forced out now. Because if this trend continues, these very same people will be dragged out of their offices and beaten by one side or another in the identitarian war the progressives are starting.
