The shooting took place less than 7 miles from where police urged on by Donald Trump extrajudicially executed Michael Reinoehl to punish him for shooting an armed fascist in self-defense.

The disparity in treatment could not be more severe.

The prosecutor is sending a clear message. If you are a Trump supporter, you can shoot, stab, and throw bombs at anti-fascists without any consequences. If you are an antifascist and you engage in self-defense, you will be hunted down and assassinated.

We know better than to look to the courts for justice or any resolution to our problems. This just confirms that public officials are working hand in glove with non-state paramilitaries to promote lethal violence against our communities.

Who will protect us? It's up to us.

To celebrate the birthday of Kenneth Rexroth, poet and anarchist, we have prepared this photoessay presenting his poem “Noretorp Noretsyh” painted across the walls and rooftops of three continents. We’ve added annotations illuminating Rexroth’s numerous historical references.

Here's our full report on Washington prosecutors' decision not to charge the far-right shooter:

https://cwc.im/OlympiaShootings

In refusing to press charges against a gunman who carried out a widely documented shooting, they are inviting fascists to turn Olympia into a killing field.

The law is not, as liberals foolishly believe, a measure for the sake of the public good that applies equally to all citizens. On the contrary, it is a weapon in the hands of racist authoritarians, just like the guns in the hands of fascists and police officers.

These selections from the affidavit, which convinced the Superior Court to find probable cause, undermine the prosecutor's narrative that they lack evidence to proceed with the charges. Rather, they are making a political decision to promote fascist violence.

Minneapolis police killed Bayle Gelle's son, then raided his house in the middle of the night, terrorizing him, his wife, and their younger children.

Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi are complaining about graffiti on their houses. They don't know how poor people live in the USA.
