Kansas City Police Seek Woman Trying to Torch Warehouse Linked to ICE Sale
“KMBC 9 reporter Andy Alcock said he witnessed the woman throw what appeared to be a liquid onto the windows before the fire started.”
The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department wants to find a woman in a video trying to burn down a warehouse that would have been sold to ICE.
ICE wanted to use the warehouse as a detention facility.
A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government.

“KMBC 9 reporter Andy Alcock said he witnessed the woman throw what appeared to be a liquid onto the windows before the fire started,” according to the station.
Platform Ventures, which owns the building, said it decided “not to move forward” with the sale.
Reports in January said the investment firm had entered into a deal with ICE.
It turns out Platform Ventures started negotiations and pulled out:
But Platform Ventures set the record straight, issuing a statement Feb. 12 after “baseless speculation, inaccurate narratives and serious threats toward leadership” led the company to address the property and sale.
“Platform Ventures is not actively engaged with the U.S. Government or any other prospective purchaser involving a sale of its property at the I-49 Industrial Center,” Platform Ventures said.
“As we stated previously, we were approached by a third-party private enterprise for this transaction and entered into preliminary negotiations consistent with the fiduciary duties owed to our investors,” Platform Ventures said in its new statement. “As negotiations concluded, we learned the purchasing party was the U.S. Government. Over the course of the building sale process, we determined that the terms no longer met our fiduciary requirements for a timely closing. Therefore, we chose not to move forward.”

So this broad tried to torch a building that wasn’t actually going to be sold to the government? Maybe she should have checked for last minute changes of plans before laying herself open to a (Federal) charge of attempted arson.

Sounds as well informed as the standard Antifa ‘tard.
AWFULs aren’t known for their critical thinking ability.
Or it was going to be sold, and the sale was canceled because of the arson. The story is unclear.
She was confused because that is legal in Minnesota.
Violence is always justified, in the evil Dhimmi-crat terrorists’ Little Red Book/koran.
Just an AWFUL at work. I think she should have been shot on the spot. Instead nobody did nothing for like 12 hours.
anyone else see that katie couric torching commonsense the other day?
she lamented that “only” 14% of the illegals caught were actual hardened criminals
couric is complicit with this pos arsonist
Might want to read Title 8. If its KCMO she will never be found.
No doubt this report was tipped in advance that this would happen
Reporter witnessed? 0.00% chance that it coincidentally “just happened.” FAKE NEWS hates America!
If you click through to the initial video and then scroll down just a tad bit you’ll find a link to the “raw” video that the reporter took at the location. It’s clear from the notations that they were (supposedly) at the building for the purpose of doing a story on the already-cancelled sale. This appears to be nonsense, since I’ve NEVER seen a “reporter” for the lame-stream doing a video set-up from across the street of a building where they were when the woman showed up…they’re almost invariably right in front of the main door, with a name/address of the building clearly visible. Instead they were all the way across the street, waiting for…?
There are at least two people speaking on the raw video; they are not identified. You can hear one of them say, “We should call the cops, she’s trying to burn it down”, while the other replies (barely loud enough to hear), “We can’t do that.” I’m curious; why can’t they do that? Would it ruin their story?
They made exactly zero attempt to stress the urgency of this arson to the police. After the fires have gone out and the woman is SITTING ON THE GROUND WAITING one of them says, “I don’t even know if the police are coming.” Yeah, right, like you’d hang up on the 911 operator before she confirms that this is a genuine police and fire emergency and that units are responding.
I don’t expect them to run across the street, knock her down, and take her arson gear from her while stepping on her hands to keep her under control…she might be otherwise armed as well. But I would expect them to shout, yell, scream, and tell her she’s on video and will be going to jail and then prison if she doesn’t stop. Instead they just stand there “innocently” filming the incident.
Because they never stressed the urgency the cops and fire department never show up.
Domestic Terrorist. Employing volence, threats and property damage for political intimidation. And the bad part: it worked.
There needs to be serious repercussions for these good little Brownshirts or we will be yielding to their guerrilla vetoes constantly.
Did it work? That depends on when the sale was canceled. It appears from the story that it may have been canceled before this arson, and therefore for reasons unrelated to it.
Platform Ventures, which owns the building, said it decided “not to move forward” with the sale.
And that makes it extortion. Period. Also, since it’s related to politics, it’s now terrorism. On top of the arson charges.
Oh, and the liquid she’s putting on the windows (like an idiot) is lighter fluid. It’s pretty obvious to anyone who’s ever used it for a grill or campfire, down to what brand it likely is.
Drag her ass to prison for the rest of her life.
“And that makes it extortion.”
Not if the owner has already decided not to proceed BEFORE the arsonist targeted them. The article is extremely unclear about the timeline here.
Spraying lighter fluid on the window of a concrete building isn’t trying very hard to set it on fire. Doing it in the middle of the day is downright stupid.

You are presuming a level of knowledge that I suspect doesn’t exist. My wife knows that you have to put gasoline in the car but she doesn’t REALLY understand why.
Someone should tell this firebug that ice is also great and would suffice.
Leftists politicians keep goading followers to attack ICE is going to get someone else killed.
If the sale was canceled because of the arson, and ICE really wants the building, the federal government can simply use eminent domain to purchase it at fair market value.
