The Post Millennial Militant Antifa extremists attacked a Turning Point USA rally on Saturday afternoon at the Washington state Capitol in Olympia. Minors were assaulted and the event table was vandalized.
A group of around 20 militants dressed in black and wearing masks gathered on Capitol grounds to disrupt the second amendment-themed rally hosted by TPUSA’s local Washington chapter. The small, conservative rally was attended by around a couple dozen high school students.

âAll of you! Each and every one of you are going first. Iâll have 20 of them lined up,â she shouted.

However, Washington State Patrol troopers did not intervene on Saturday when they witnessed the harassment, vandalism and assaults, according to those who were there. The Post Millennial contributor Katie Daviscourt, who was at the rally, says the troopers told them to file police reportsâbut not to expect prosecution.
A spokesperson for the Washington State Patrol told The Post Millennial that state troopers on-scene had decided that âthe mutually antagonistic verbal confrontation that preceded the water bottle incident had created a volatile situation where direct intervention by law enforcement might have triggered additional physical conflict.â The spokesperson stated that the âstrategy of purposeful de-escalation paid dividends for all, as both groups eventually dissipated with no further physical conflict, injuries, or arrests.â
The Washington State Patrol is investigating the firsthand reports to determine if crimes were committed and who was involved, the spokesperson said, reiterating: âWhen appropriate, law enforcement action sometimes occur after an incident at a different time and place more conducive to safe operations for all concerned.
