That was the one sentence that stood out to me as well. I can imagine this was an incident that had a high impact on "Fisher". I remember watching a live-stream of the incident broadcasted from the building on the other side of the road (which was thankfully the building where my friends stayed).

My friends went inside the school after the raid and took pictures that I can't get out of my head to this day. The whole building looked like a slaughterhouse with blood everywhere. Blood-stains on radiators indicating that peoples heads were repeatedly smashed against them. I also remember the screams you could hear on the live-stream. First it was people yelling "pacifisti" and then just screams for 20min until the screaming stopped and ambulances arrived.

That shit really paves the way for young activists continuous fight against facism of any kind.

Very possible that the reference is sunblock, that is a counter-measure to waste the time of anyone trying to track them down and burn them.

Fisher is experienced enough to know any information they leak will be used against them. My guess is that the event is either symbolic or meant build on a persona used to find people like them; post provides a means of contact.

Regardless of their intent, as made clear by my other comment, this was a tragic event, and the police should be held accountable.

Yes, this is what I thought, too. Also I have the distinct impression that the references to the Spanish language are a red herring as well.
