SEATTLE (AP) — Law enforcement discovered a cache of weaponry and armor, including a machine gun and grenade launchers, along with Nazi paraphernalia during a raid of a home in Washington state, authorities said Tuesday.

Derek Sanders, the elected sheriff of Thurston County, said in a Facebook post that the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division asked his office for assistance Monday as an FBI special weapons and tactics team executed a search warrant in Lacey, near the state capitol of Olympia, “as a result of a violent robbery and theft of military weaponry/armor.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle said in a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday night that the search warrant related to an Army CID and FBI investigation into an assault Sunday at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, just north of Olympia.

Sanders’ statement said two people were arrested and booked into Thurston County Jail for investigation of firearms-related offenses.

1. Let's look on the bright side

They're still investigating such incidents, and they're still telling us about it.

2. Bondi will likely undercharge, if at all, and

then Crumb The 1st will issue a pardon claiming they were unfairly prosecuted.

3. Who would think

I never knew Elon Scum had a house in Seattle! Go figure!

4. They should be in line to run Trump's ATF. nt

5. I'm betting this will turn out to be service members.

And with Hegseth in charge of military, he will Nazi any problem.

[thought crime]

10. It would be interesting to know

The Seattle area has plenty of these extreme far-right types to the North & South. Snohomish had a real problem a few years ago. Since Trump 2, military recruitment is up, supposedly. With the suppression of DEI (i.e increase in racism), they may be attracting and allowing more extremists to join.

6. Republican headquarters?

7. I'm surprised that even warrants a headline.

Apparently someone thinks that's an anomaly, especially in the West.
In the South it's tokens of the Confederacy, and up North East it's militia memorabilia.

Welcome to America. Look around and you'll find a lot of good as well.

9. its not made headlines here at all as we are still

..concentrating on catching the son of a bitch father who murdered his three daughters and dumped their bodies in a ravine in the pristine forest of the Cascades.

8. i bet none of them were immigrants!.

[Wicked Blue]

11. They'll be released and recruited by ICE

[Wonder Why]

12. Another Trump pardon coming.

[werdna]

13. Are they sure?

I mean, it could be a local ICE agent's home stash of official immigrant hunting gear. Right? Couldn't it though? Just spit ballin' here.

14. Another pathetic loser with a micropenis. n/t

[Orrex]

15. Has Trump appointed him to head ICE yet?

[Javaman]

16. are we completely sure this wasn't a recruitment drive for the orange ignoramus? nt

[AverageOldGuy]

17. Probably . . .

. . . an ICE agent. No big deal.
