Seattle Antifa Hate Group Threatens to Burn Down Church Over Event With Charlie Kirk

2021-04-26

[PJMEDIA] A Puyallup, Wash., church has canceled an event featuring conservative speaker Charlie Kirk after antifa activists threatened to burn down all of its buildings and torch the neighbors’ properties too.

Motion Church planned an event with Kirk, the head of Turning Point USA and a Christian speaker, on May 2.

The church, in a community south of Seattle, ministers to the homeless, lost, and addicted people in addition to hosting regular services and events at the church for families, and those seeking to know Christ more.

But hosting Charlie Kirk was just a bridge too far for the antifa terror group.

On Friday, Motion Church Pastor Roger Archer posted a video announcing that he was being forced to cancel the May 3 event because "the soft targets of churches, the elderly, women, children, and law-abiding citizens are vulnerable to anarchists who live free of the fear of reprisal. [T]he cops don’t have the manpower to protect the several properties used by the church."

It’s unclear how the terror threats were communicated to the church leadership, but Pastor Archer said the fact that the cops don’t have the manpower to help and the governor doesn’t have the political will to fight back means the church would have been left to the antifa arsonists and vandals of antifa and BLM.

#6 Must NOT be Southern Baptist churches. All of their members are open carry christians.

#5 "Pray as if everything depends on God and act as if everything depends on you" -- variously formulated and attributed, possibly St. Ignatius.

I want to be careful not to think that the street protesters represent the enemy's center of gravity. The antifas, in particular, live such vapid little lives that it's tough to think of anything we could do to them that would make their lives worse (although it might be fun to try). Instead, if I had one metaphorical arrow to shoot, I would metaphorically shoot it at the MSM. As someone else has pointed out, the MSM in current-day America fills the role that the KGB did in Soviet Russia or the Stasi in East Germany.

#4 I'll bet even if they did gut a church and burnt every christian in it, the majority would not arise in violent indignation.

The problem may be, that everyone has got some safety valve now thanks to the media and tech. Also, concerns for family, livelihood, litigation, fear of violence have all neutralized the basic instinct of fighting back.

It's like the wasp knows it's in the web now, it is struggling, growing feebler by the minute. The predator has all but won. It spun its web for decades, used the lofty constitutions and 'principles of justice'; doctrines of self-righteousness designed to produce indecisive eunuchs to further his own ends. And now he has people right where he wants them, helpless and cowed, even those with their beloved 2A and hubris of past hoorahs.

It is only God, who resists the proud, that can turn things around now. He has done it before, may He do it again. I can only hope the enemy taking the fight to churches and christians brings down His wrath on their kind. Because 'When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight.' I have no hope in civilized men.

#3 Time to go private.

The Democrats have their own system of justice. It excludes normal whites. The only option left is to create our own Cobstitution-compliant LE and courts.

#2 Seems like a good opportunity for an ambush

#1 I'm pretty sure you're not one of the good guys when you threaten to burn down a church.
