The 69-year-old armed man killed by Washington state police as he attacked a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center Saturday sent a manifesto to friends the day before the assault in which he wrote "I am Antifa," and was being lionized by members of the leftwing group as a "martyr."
The group Seattle Antifascist Action described assailant Willem Van Spronsen a "good friend and comrade" who "took a stand against the fascist detention center in Tacoma" and "became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism."
"He was kind and deeply loved by many communities; we cannot let his death go unanswered," the group wrote in a Saturday Facebook post. "Throughout history we idolize figures like John Brown for their courage to take the ultimate stand against oppression, and today we stand strong in our support for yet another martyr in the struggle against fascism. May his death serve as a call to protest and direct action."

Climate of hate IMO. Thanks AOC
Suicide by cop. From ABC News a friend of Willem Van Spronsen's for about 20 years, described him as an anarchist and anti-fascist, and believes his attack on the detention center intending to provoke a fatal conflict.
Also previously arrested for assaulting a police officer. Imagine that. One less ANTIFA communist/Nazi in the world.

Anarchism and anarchism lite (libertarianism) are not philosophies for mature individuals. When people self-identify as subscribing to them after the age of 30, you know they’re fucked up.

You could simply swap out anarchism and anarchism-lite with progressivism and liberalism and change the age to 35 and you would have an even more relevant statement.

Don't bring a manifesto to a gunfight.
