In the months leading up to @WDWAnews dropping NFA explosive charges against #Antifa rioter Sami Horner, we've discovered Horner was tweeting under an account named "Pyromaniafuck12" where he was telling people to murder Police Officers
He's still involved in extremist organizing in Seattle and Tacoma and often shares calls for violence. Horner now goes by @AbolishSPD161
At one point he used the name 'Tacoma Liberation Front' in a now abandoned attempt to start a YLF (violent Antifa group) offshoot in Tacoma.
It's still not clear why @WDWAnews dismissed charges. They have listed Prosecutorial discretion when reducing charges against other violent #Antifa members.
"I'm holding the bag with a firebomb and my ID in it, for a friend" doesn't seem like a strong defense.
