Shop NowWith this recent story comes the continued saga of violent pro-abortion extremists, and sadly, it seems that conservatives’ voices are no longer safe.
In Olympia, Washington, the office of state representative Andrew Barkis became victim of the latest arson attempt by extremists. Security camera footage captured two suspects walking up to the office and smashing out a window with a hammer followed by tossing a flaming object into the office.
Thankfully the fire did not spread very far in the building due to the floor being made of masonry, however this clearly was an obvious case of firebombing and arson.
Barkis is a vocal pro-life representative in the area, and after this situation there have been a total of 17 arson or firebombing incidents since the leak of the pending decision from the Supreme Court.
It wasn’t long ago that an attempted assassination against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh occurred right in front of his own home, which was thankfully thwarted by U.S. Marshals.
Watch the horrific video footage below:
Last night 2 individuals broke a window and threw a lit flare into the office of my seatmate, Rep. Andrew Barkis. We have no information about perps or motivation, but I’m very concerned. Thank goodness the flare landed on a masonry floor. pic.twitter.com/vRr829tCPC

Here’s more details of this horrific incident from reported by Yakima Herald-Republic:
Wilcox told McClatchy Monday that neither he nor Barkis believe it was random vandalism because he thinks a hammer and a flare aren’t just something people have with them. Wilcox said they are unsure why they were targeted.
Another incident last week is concerning for Wilcox, he said. Last Friday a shooting occurred outside the home of Rep. Peter Abbarno, a Republican from Centralia. Wilcox does not believe the incidents are connected and he does not believe the shooting was directed at Abbarno.
Both incidents have been reported to the Washington State Patrol. The Olympia Police Department was also contacted about Monday’s incident. Wilcox said he sent an email out to his colleagues to tell them to keep an eye out for their families right now. He said he informed his legislative assistant as well as the House Republican Chief of Staff to be aware of the situation.
