Texas apparent woman indicted for attempting arson of GOP Headquarters

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Well, folks, the "mostly peaceful" resistance brigade is at it again. A federal grand jury in San Antonio has indicted a 22-year-old New Braunfels woman for the alleged arson attack on the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters. Grace Carol Brown is charged with actual and attempted malicious damage by fire to property involved in interstate or foreign commerce.

According to the indictment, on January 14, Brown allegedly broke a window, tossed a backpack inside, failed to squeeze through the window herself like a bad cat burglar, and then decided to light a rolled-up magazine on fire and hurl it into the building. Real master criminal stuff there. She also left a note at the scene, because these revolutionaries always need to make sure the rest of us know how deep and thoughtful their tantrums are.

The note, preserved for posterity by the feds, read: “Report this: I burned down the Nazi Party of NB’s office. F**K DJT F**K ICE, Liberty or die.”

Ah yes, the classic "Liberty or die schtick . . .  but first let me commit a felony" manifesto. The backpack inside reportedly contained ethanol, gasoline, a lighter, matches, and other goodies, your standard Antifa Amazon shopping list for leftist 'patriots'.

Investigators say Brown's writings showed a deep disdain for the Comal County Republican Party, ICE, federal law enforcement, and certain Executive Branch officials she labeled "Enemies of the U.S. Constitution." 

The note also featured the Drei Pfeile symbol, the three arrows thing cooked up by the Iron Front in 1930s Germany that's now a favorite of Antifa-aligned activists and other black-bloc cosplay enthusiasts.

Brown was arrested within days. New Braunfels Police, the Fire Marshal’s Office, and the FBI handled the investigation. She's facing federal charges plus state burglary and arson counts. If convicted on the federal stuff, she could be looking at five to 20 years in prison, where she'll have plenty of time to reflect on how burning down buildings is apparently the purest form of "democracy." However, the probability of her actually serving any real "time" is about as likely as finding a kangaroo driving for Uber Eats.

U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons announced the indictment on Friday. Somewhere out there, a whole bunch of people who spent years screaming about "threats to democracy" are suddenly very quiet about this one. 

Shocking, I know.
