I can hardly believe my eyes. The DHS has brought RICO charges against over 60 members of antifa. Maybe the FBI is tired of competing with antifa as the enforcement arm of the DNC. Or maybe it’s because antifa is rebelling against the Democratic-run city. Either way, I love seeing it. The reason they have grown so violent is because the Democrats in blue cities have allowed them to run wild, with only a very rare prison sentence for those committing crimes.
Anti-police, militants, and extremist environmentalists have been camping in trees to protest the $90 million dollar police training facility to sit on 381 acres in the South River Forest, also known as the Weelaunee Forest. They claim they are there to protect the forest, but I am of the opinion that they are protesting the training of more cops. It is just more of the Defund the Police crap that has left so many cities with soaring crime rates. And when those cities decide to restore the funding for police, no one wants the job.
In March, police arrested 23 antifa members and charged them with domestic terrorism. The police department described their acts as a “coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers” at the site of the new training center. One of those arrested, Tom Jurgens, appears to be a staff attorney for a far-left extremist organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a site that the FBI regularly uses to identify domestic terrorists.
Fox News reports:
“The mostly out-of-state members of Atlanta Forest, described as a ‘self-identified coalition and enterprise of militant anarchists, eco-activists and community organizers,’ is accused of coordinating, advertising and conducting ‘direct action’ designed to prevent the construction of the Atlanta Police Public Safety Training Center and Shadowbox Studios, previously known as Blackhall Studios, to ‘promote anarchist ideas,’ according to a copy of the Fulton County, Georgia, indictment.”
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELNow, a 109-page indictment alleges that, from May 25, 2020, to at least Aug. 25, 2023, over 60 militant anarchists violated RICO.
The indictment says that the “anarchist, anti-police and environmental activism organization,” were committing vandalism on private property; arson; destruction of government property; attacks on utility workers, law enforcement and private citizens; and gun violence, “all while promoting virulent anarchist ideals.”
According to the report, the Department of Homeland Security has labeled the individuals named in the RICO indictment as “domestic violent extremists.”
In January, as police attempted to clear the encampment, a Georgia State Patrol trooper wearing a bulletproof vest was shot in the abdomen. Other officers returned fire and fatally shot the extremist.
The officer was transported to the hospital for emergency surgery and survived.
Protests escalated following the fatal shooting of activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Paez Teran while police cleared a protest encampment in January. Police claim that Paez Teran fired at officers, which his family and advocates have rejected. An autopsy released by his family revealed that his hands were raised at the time of the shooting.
Earlier this year, three board members of a nonprofit group that provides bail and legal support were charged with money laundering and charity fraud. They are also charged under the latest RICO indictment.
The indictment accuses protesters of joining a “criminal enterprise” fuelled by anarchist ideas and mutual aid to spread “false” “propaganda” about police violence to bolster support for plans to halt construction of the facility.
