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.

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

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.

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.

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.
