Thirty-two Antifa goons were busted on Monday after they commandeered the nearly 75,000 square foot Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington in Seattle. They also set dumpsters on fire and, unbelievably, bullied police.

Antifa is a domestic terrorist group comprised of radical leftists, anarchists, communists, and socialists who claim they are anti-fascist while being fascist themselves. Paging Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice. The FBI should be involved as well.
Antifa Domestic Terrorists Seize University Building
They occupied the building for several hours, demanding that the school divest itself from Boeing, according to Fox News.
More from Fox News:
After occupying the building, the protesters erected a banner reading “Sha’ban Al-Dalou Building,” symbolically renaming it after a 19-year-old Palestinian man from Gaza who was killed during the bombing of the Al-Aqsa Hospital on Oct. 14, 2024. Israel said it targeted a Hamas command center embedded in the facility.
Black-Clad Anarchist/Communists Spread Violent Chaos
The black-clad, face-masked, shield-carrying protesters set dumpsters on fire and blocked nearby streets. The demonstrators also blocked entrances and exits to the building by stacking furniture. They formed a line behind a bike rack while brandishing trash can shields with the anarchist symbol on them.
According to Fox News, one protester was heard shouting: “Abolish the police. Every cop dead is a victory for the resistance.”
After pushing the police around, campus police and local officers in riot gear eventually contained a situation that should have been handled almost immediately. They arrested 32 protesters who had locked and barricaded themselves in the building.
The Antifa foot soldiers are now being charged with trespassing, property destruction, disorderly conduct, and conspiracy. Prosecutors are seeking felony charges. What they should be charged with is domestic terrorism. As usual, they will get a slap on the wrist and will walk… this is Seattle after all.
Anti-Semites, Hamas Lovers, and Communists Make Demands
NBC News reports that a number of protesters are connected to Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (Super UW). The group opposes Boeing’s defense contracts and arms sales to Israel. They claim that Boeing funded the occupied university building, donating $10 million to it. The building cost roughly $102 million and opened this spring, according to NBC News.
Super UW claimed it took over the building to mark the anniversary of Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when 1,200 people were killed and 251 were kidnapped. They called it a “heroic victory.” Everyone else called it barbaric butchery and evil as social media was filled with pictures and videos of rape, torture, and murder.
On Monday, Super UW wrote, “UW STUDENTS ARE OCCUPYING THE BOEING FUNDED ENGINEERING BUILDING ON UW CAMPUS!! Show up right now to the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building (4000 E Stevens Way) to support these brave students.”
“The University of Washington is a direct partner in the genocide of the Palestinian people through its allegiance to its partnership with Boeing. RALLY NOW outside the IEB to take action with these students, alongside the people of Palestine and their brave resistance. Wear a mask, and cover idntifiable [sic] features. Read the full manifesto on our medium,” the post added.
Fox News reported:
The group accused Boeing of building weapons of mass destruction which they said are then used by the government of Israel in its war in Gaza.
“We refuse to be complicit while our education is directly funded and controlled by a corporation whose business leads to a mass genocide of Palestinian people,” the group said. “These bombs, missiles, and other weapons of destruction are made possible through Boeing’s access to UW’s campus, research facilities, and student labor.”
Video Shows Antifa Getting Its Violence On
Viral video shows Antifa thugs bullying officers while shouting at them, “Move back! Move back! Move back!” while pounding their trash can shields:
There is also video of the dumpster fires and piles that were lit up while Antifa chanted in the background.
“Antifa are trying to burn down the @UW campus as their occupation of the Engineering Building spirals out of control. The militants have effectively been given free rein. They’re demanding the university end all relationship with Israel,” journalist Andy Ngô wrote on X.
Reporter Jonathan Choe also posted a pic of the anti-Israel chant shouted by Antifa.
University of Washington Angrily Decries Protest
“The UW is committed to maintaining a secure learning and research environment and strongly condemns this illegal building occupation and the antisemitic statement that was issued by a suspended student group Monday,” the university said in a statement.
UW President Ana Mari Cauce condemned the protest in an email that was sent out Tuesday to the community.
“This was no peaceful protest in support of Palestinian rights or against the war in Gaza,” Cauce angrily wrote. “I condemn this dangerous, violent, and illegal building occupation and related vandalism. I also condemn in the strongest terms the group’s statement celebrating the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. The University will not be intimidated by this sort of horrific and destructive behavior and will not engage in dialogue with any group using or condoning such destructive tactics. We will continue our actions to oppose antisemitism, racism, and all forms of biases so that ALL our students, faculty, staff,f and visitors can feel safe and welcome on our campuses.”
