Raz Simone, the so-called warlord of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone carved out of Seattle by activists, has been filmed handing out assault rifles to minors.
That's a state felony, if only there were anyone to enforce the law.
Video that surfaced on Monday - from Simone's own June 10 Facebook livestream, apparently - shows him handing out assault rifles that look like the ubiquitous AR-15 semi-automatic, including to individuals who look far younger than 21.
Washington state law, which came into effect last year, makes it a gross misdemeanor to transfer an assault rifle to anyone under 21, with any subsequent offenses considered felonies.
Moreover, under the law, persons between the ages of 18 and 21 are only able to possess a semiautomatic assault rifle or pistol in their place of residence or business, on real property under their control or when moving houses or traveling "to and from" allowed storage locations, as well as in the case of selling to those over 21.
Comment: As the propaganda arm of the governments, these fake news outlets have incited violence, fomented wars based on abhorrently dishonest reporting. Maybe they should be dethroned and tossed in the rubbish bin.
