As we reported earlier this week, a suspected Antifa operative has been arrested and charged for the shooting of a Proud Boys leader during an altercation that took place in Washington early in September. This shooting took place a little over a year after an Antifa member murdered a Trump supporter in Portland, Oregon during a protest. The Epoch Times reported: Benjamin Anthony Varela, a 36-year-old resident of Olympia, was taken into custody on Sept. 23 on suspicion of assault and vandalism. Varela was later charged with assault in the first degree for shooting Tusitala Toese, a Proud Boys leader, according to court documents obtained by The Epoch Times.

At least the proud boys didn't learn to shoot from a video game.

No it's a sign that violence is escalating. Hire more cops if you can find them.

Same guy/girl were arrested for repeatedly attacking a tattoo parlor, breaking windows, gluing locks, spraying ACAB/Racist/Nazi graffiti...pictures of the pair are "Interesting", suffice to say they are not "Attractive" folks..
His first two shots were "centrermass high"...right into a metal pillar, the next three into the dirt, sidewalk...foot. Proudboy(and the crowd of people behind him) got lucky, so did the shooter, he would be facing Murder charges, not just "assault"

No, it shows that city and state officials in Washington and Oregon are not doing the jobs that they are being paid to do. When they abdicate their authority and fail to maintain safety and public order, it creates a vacuum and unsavory elements will move to fill that void. In the case of pantifa, these cities are allowing a criminal gang to run loose, committing violence and vandalism. 'Proud boys' is a really stupid name for an organization, it has sort of homo-erotic overtones, but they are the response to the lack of public order. [opening post... it is ''martial law'' not ''marshall''. If city officials are not going to do their job, then the state or feds should have already declared it in those cities, rounded-up pantifa, and put an end to this stupidity last summer. ]

Fired a gun at someone is only assault not attempted murder?

only thing that shooting will show is how the Fake B I will support Antifa and blame patriots.
As far as blaming Trump...He, or any president following the law, can not send in troops to stop riots unless ths president has permission from the gov. or the mayor. Neither one would allow the NG to go into the cities and stop the riots.(which were well planned and well funded!)

I think Hannity's 0.99% of the FBI that are real cops and patriotic Americans should step in and restore law and order.

The leftist white guy shot the conservative black guy. Are we supposed to believe the leftist white guy is not a racist? The leftist guy is a racist. There was no need for this shooting. Antifa are racists, and who's surprised.
