DEVELOPING: In the tiny, remote town of Forks, WA, locals on Facebook are claiming they blocked the highway out of fear that an incoming bus was an ANTIFA bus of looters come to burn down the town and then chased and harassed the bus though town while repeatedly talking guns.
Updated: I'm now receiving reports from locals that pick up trucks of vigilantes surrounded the bus at the grocery store to intimidate it and then patrolled the streets all night
I'm hearing mult reports that this began with a wingnut gun dealer who posted a video about an antifa invasion, marshalling all the goofy troops for a violent showdown with a bus of peaceful protesters that was escorted by cops.

I won't share the name until I get confirmation
this half-ass attempt at stoking a race war in the rain forest originated with Fred's Guns in Sequim, WA. He's posted multiple heavy breathing, red cheek, excuse videos once the cops visited him. Plz send original screen captures of deleted post.

And now he's claiming a video where he allegedly screamed ICE! ICE! ICE! at obstensibly Hispanic protesters was just an innocent command to his dog.

Local comment is mixed on the arms dealer that shared multiple insane rumors about made up invasions and provoked multiple felonious vigilante actions that easily could have resulted in death and destruction of innocents.
If anyone has any hot tips on invading buses of Tom of Finland models, antifa super soldiers, or extreme fetish videos, or if you just need a hyperventilating vigilante to talk to:

UPDATE: The victimized vigilante cut a #maga guy in sunglasses in his car video thanking armed militia who all night at his house & business all night to protect him from the incoming antifa attacks he was monitoring on their secret group.

RECAP: small town gun dealer w a 3% patch makes up secret Intel from about incoming antifa attacks, causes mayhem & paranoia in two small towns, blocked roads, militia patrols, & racist counter demonstrations.

Cops politely make him take down post. He claims victimhood.

2020!
UPDATE: a mulitiracial family of four out camping was accosted, harassed, and followed out of Forks, WA by armed vigilantes who accused them of being antifa and blocked the road out of town by falling trees.

UNCONFIRMED: I HAVE PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE THAT A FORKS CITY COUNCILMAN WAS PART OF THE VIGILANTE MOB THAT ACCOSTED THIS MIXED RACE FAMILY, MORE WHEN I CAN CONFIRM.

LEAD ( 1of 2) much of the confrontation and later organizing of the vigilantes who terrorized mixed race family sounds like it occurred at the parking lot of the Thriftway grocery store in Forks... Which is under blanket surveillance camera coverage....
...(2 of 2) In such a small town, that means that grocery store has a video that can identify every single participant.
BREAKING: Criminal investigations have opened into Forks, WA vigilante mob that terrorized a mixed race family based on rumors of antifa invasions spread by a Sequim, WA gun store owner.

Larson spent day heavily armed counter-protesting #blm.
Police investigation into #forksvigilantes should be quick. they openly confessed on Facebook to terrorizing, threatening, then trapping innocent tourist family in woods as suspected #antifa invaders.

Facebook dry snitching is rural equivalent of rappers confessing crimes on wax

One person waiting for unsuspecting patients compared terror incident to the Purge.
When I learned of story this morning, overwhelming Facebook response in Forks, WA was thx to #forksvigilantes for protecting town from #antifabus

In Sequim, WA more criticised gun dealer Seth Larson for spreading lies, but his home & business were surrounded by armed supporters.
Locals say that up to ten different vehicles were involved in #Forksvigilantes confrontations & patrols last night. This includes multiple people who harassed innocent family as the prophesied white #antifabus foretold by gun dealer Seth Larson. Small Town, everyone connected.
Part of #forksvigilantes background: Forks' definitive local folklore has nothing to do with vampires or Sasquatch -- it's the legendary event told nightly when the town loggers got into a mass rumble with the Hell's Angels wielding logging equipment & kicked them out of town.
Signing off for tonight. Please read/like/share the below -- we need to nationalize the success WA Tribes & #blm had w i-940 holding cops accountable & de-escalating police violence.

#forksvigilantes: the local who was biggest Facebook promoter of mob that terrorized tourist family as #antifabus, sharing inside info & calling it "the purge", replied to my thread.

Crystal, we call on you to share the names of the conspirators.

#forksvigilantes update: more bragging screen captured of gun dealer & militia buddies harassing family as #antifabus, then bunkering down & claiming victimhood
#forksvigilantes: overnight, I received reports that Seth Larson's bizarre #antifabuses livestreams also activated militia squads in far more liberal Port Townsend & Olympia, WA, or played into their already frothing paranoia.

Photo of gathering outside an Olympia gun store.
#forksvigilantes: some of the militia types & gun enthusiasts who eagerly jumped aboard Seth Larson's paranoid hallucinations about #AntifaBuses &, even guarded his property from incoming attacks have flipped on him & are jumping ship.
#forksvigilantes more "On second thought, maybe #antifabuses full of looters invading remote rain forest communities wasn't a credible claim in first place..." backtracking from a follower of Seth Larson who guarded his property from incoming attacks...
#forksvigilantes: given interest in the crazed mob that terrorized innocent family in Forks, I'm hearing from journalists.

My day job is public policy & writing books, but I am a journalist who broke this story because I didn't want it covered up. Plz credit my reporting.
#forksvigilantes: last night I reported that I had received reports that a Forks city council member was part of the mob that terrorized town. I still believe that to be true.

Now I can share that it appears the son of the Mayor Tim Fletcher dry snitched on himself.

#Forksvigilantes: MAJOR UPDATE: This is a screen capture that was deleted by Seth Larson, the gun dealer who provoked #forksvigilantes into terrorizing town.

He called for "qualified shooters" to report to him for action.

We are very lucky no one died.
#forksvigilantes: yet more confessions/dry snitching on social media from Seth Larson of Fred's Guns, here posting a pic of the terrorized family's bus as evidence that invading #AntifaBuses were real.
received my first accusation that I am working for @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE & @ByYourLogic, @cushbomb covering up #antifabus invasion.

Good reminder tho that this is perfect podcast reading series to raise awareness on radicalization of the right & danger of anti-antifa propaganda
Also accused because I am social media friends w @TheWarNerd, interact w @MarkAmesExiled on social media & @yashalevine shared thread that I work for Putin to discredit Patriots.

I now realize how quickly any adverse information becomes part of the conspiracy. Instantly.
#forksvigilantes -- Please retweet and thank the teenage heroes w chainsaws who rescued innocent family by clearing the road of the downed trees that were trapping them in a remote campground.

Travis Davis, Jacob Hull, Gabe Terrones, and Anthoney Beglinger: we speak your names!

#ForksVigilantes: Mult tips that gun dealer Seth Larson's ties to local pd were on display during investigation of robbery of 26 handguns from his store in 2019.

The security video of break-in, including destruction of giant mountain goat is insane ...
#forksvigilantes: when gun dealer Seth Larson had 26 (unrecovered) guns stolen from his unguarded, insecure gun shop in 2019, he demanded cops "make an example of this guy."

I wish for nothing less for all involved in this conspiratorial hate crime.

INSANE UPDATE #forksvigilantes #antibuses: the antifa bus invasion conspiracy actually tricked Curry County, OR Sheriff John Ward into mobilizing local cops & gun owners for battle.

#forksvigilantes #antifabus more photos of the militia that allegedly mobilized in Olympia, WA -- the state capital -- to fight the #antifabus invasion.
#antifabus invasion so scared Curry County OR Sheriff John Ward that he admits he was terrified enough to call for militia help.
#forksvigilantes UPDATE: The alleged son of the Mayor of Forks posted publicly that mixed race family suspected of being #antifabus "bit off more they could chew"

After falling trees to trap them at campground, he posted "Let em starve!"
#forksvigilantes FIRST CONFIRMED DIRECT PARTICIPANT: Forks local Eric Shields confessed on Facebook that he was among mob that confronted terrified mixed race family in store parking lot accusing them of being #antifabus

Cops? Time for an arrest. FB dry snitching for the win.
#forksvigilantes: This terrifying photo is like something from a horror movie, the family's bus as seen through the broken filthy windshield of the mob following the poor family down isolated forest roads.

This had all the hallmarks of a lynching.
#forksvigilantes: "FORKS LET GET READY TO RUMBLE. LOCK AND LOAD," local posted on FB before lynch mob terrorized a mixed race family in a store parking lot as suspected #antifabus.

Outsiders referred to as "them." They'd be "handled real fast." Locals "looking forward" to it.
#forksvigilantes: Forks resident @twittmebitchez
responded in this thread that she wasn't racist, had nada to do with lynch mob that terrorized mixed race family.

Unfortunately she also posted only photo I am aware of actual caravan of armed goons chasing family from town.
#forksvigilantes: ATTENTION COPS -- here's four vehicles that participated in lynch mob that harassed, terrorized, & chased mixed race family from Forks, WA this week, claiming they were an #antifabus of terrorists coming to burn down town.
#forksvigilantes: Josh Fletcher, apparent participant or supporter of lynch mob that terrorized mixed race family, posing with his dad's campaign sign for Mayor of Forks.

Local PD has a conflict of interest or what?

Keep up the heat. Make accountability impossible to avoid.
#forksvigilantes: Remember how I said last night I had an eyewitness say Forks City Councilman was involved in terrorizing lynch mob that confronted multiracial fam?

Here's a photo of incident. "Bryan Gilstrap" is tagged.

Wanna guess if related to Councilman Mike Gilstrap?
#antifabus: Local Forks resident Terry Breedlove promising to shoot outsiders coming on the mythical #antifabus.

Forks residents terrorized a multiracial family later that evening, trapping them in campground w/ felled trees and firing rounds through the night.
#forksvigilantes: if you're asking why a frmr gov't exec who longer reports for a living is doing this for two days, it's because I know the area & have seen hate crimes covered up.

RIP to Jimmy Smith Kramer, Quinault Indian Nation. You deserved better. propublica.org/article/a-kill…
#forksvigilantes: Wondering how Forks locals are taking the national attention? They are blaming it on the mainstream media, saying "not all Forks residents!" & whites are arguing with residents of color that town isn't racist, regardless of their experience.

2020.
#antifabus: Anyone care to explain why @OlyPD in state capital is thanking and sucking up to the militia wing nuts who were mustered to fight the #antifabus?

@cityofolympia @theolympian @Olystand @madammayoroly @OlympiaJoe ?
BREAKING #forksvigilantes news: a local legal source I've known a decade+ says that store surveillance footage exists of at least some of the terrorizing of the multiracial family in Forks but cannot confirm that police have received.

Local businesses must turn over everything.
BREAKING @OlyPD is investigating the officer we showcased in this thread cutting selfies w/ #antifabus 3%er militia.
