Georgia has some issues, but the game is still played very differently there than in Portland or Seattle where the level of leftist violence has reached domestic terrorism proportions.
Georgia state troopers helping conduct a “clearing operation” at the site of Atlanta’s planned public safety training center exchanged gunfire with a protester Wednesday morning, leaving the protester dead and one trooper wounded, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The protester, who was accused of firing first, was believed to be a male. His identity was not immediately released.
When an attacker is linked to the right, the media is very quick to put the political affiliation front and center. But the usual rule of thumb is that the right exists and the left does not. You can go through entire articles about the attack and the context without ever seeing ‘left’ or any specific political reference.
Activist groups such as Defend the Atlanta Forest have since cropped up and are attempting to prevent the facility’s construction. The group said Wednesday on Twitter that police had killed a “forest defender today, someone who loved the forest, someone who fought to protect the earth & its inhabitants.”
Members of the group have occupied trees on the wooded property, building tree sits and other shelters in the forests. In June, the group released a statement that said, “Climate change and police violence are two of the most pressing issues affecting our society today, and they will only worsen if this facility is built. We cannot stand by as we sacrifice humanity’s future for a Cop City.”
Same people didn’t care about the trees before there was a police center to be built there.
The media fails to provide any meaningful political context. Instead, it celebrates the leftist terrorists.
In December, five people were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism and other charges after allegedly throwing rocks and bottles at the training center, officials said. For months, protesters have allegedly destroyed property, committed arson and carjackings and thrown rocks, bottles and other items at police, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.
The DeKalb District Attorney’s Office told CBS News it is pursuing domestic terrorism charges against all five protesters. One of the arrested protesters, Ariel Ebaugh, 22, of Stockbridge, Georgia has been charged with two counts of firearm possession during a commission of a felony, the DA’s office confirmed.
And worse than that.
The GBI and other law enforcement agencies “embrace a citizen’s right to protest, but law enforcement can’t stand by while serious criminal acts are being committed that jeopardize the safety of the citizens we’re sworn to protect,” Register said.
People are “illegally occupying” the area and are committing criminal acts that endanger the community, including arson, beating people up, using explosives and setting booby traps that have the potential to seriously hurt someone, he said.
The leftists are vocally threatening violence.
More than 150 people gathered to mourn the man’s death during a candlelight vigil Wednesday evening in Atlanta’s Little Five Points neighborhood, an area known as a hub for counterculture movements.
Activists said they did not have much information about the morning’s incident and did not know the identity of the person who was killed. But they called for an investigation into the shooting, urging the public and the media to reject the police “narrative” that officers were shooting in self-defense.
The group then took to the streets, blocking a busy intersection and throwing scooters in front of cars as others held a large banner reading, “Trees give life. Police take it.”
“Stop Cop City!” the group yelled, followed by, “If you build it, we will burn it!”
This is a domestic terrorist group and should be treated as one.
The left seems to hate police except the Capital police whom they adore.
However- this group may be touching on a sentiment that maybe the area did not need a new police center and would rather have a forest. I myself always hate to see good fields or forestland torn up to build something that really can be done without.
From what I’ve heard, the insurgents have been vandalizing the security cameras in a bordering subdivision, so I doubt they have much sympathy from the neighbors.
This article reads like parody. I know it’s factual but damn. Reality is so bad now I’m not even sure if I want to leave home.
I did meet a hot chick named “Candy” yesterday. I always think life sucks but really it’s good. You wouldn’t believe how hot she is. I’m so thankful she gives that hotness to me.
LOL! Making me smile, brother! Glad you found some solace amidst the madness! Semper Fi
Yeah, you too!………
Strange, you threatened to send me pics of you having sex with your wife. All to prove how “manly” you are. Now you’re bragging about meeting up with sex workers. You should ask her what thumb wrestling is like.
You’re such a loser. Why don’t you just Tic Tock yourself?
F’ing gaylord. You couldn’t get laid in a whore house for retards and homos.
And you’re definitely a retard. A homo, too.
Keep crying Jeff. You know exactly what you did and I’m not going to let you forget it.
Fucking weirdo. get a life.
I still pull chicks. You probably can’t even pull gays guys like you.
I bet you work for CNN or MSNBC.
Jeff we both know you’re just another self-hating gay. It’s as clear as day. None of the stories you tell are even remotely consistent. It’s clearly too hard for you to keep all the lies straight. Just come clean and stop hiding in the closet. You’re fooling nobody.
Thanks for using the correct words.
I’ve been saying it since 2020 stolen elections. Activist = terrorist.
As with any other terrorists they like to justify their evil acts by manipulating the low IQ people.
Sounds like another crazy Eco-Freak like Kazansky the Unabomber who was big fan of Gore and who read Gores book Earth in the Balance(With his Thumb on the Scale)a Earth Fiest/Earth Liberation Front type of Eco-Freak that the Unabomber was
I have long thought – 30 minutes to peacefully present yourselves for processing, and then close the area and finish the job. Most of the population who form the base of these ‘activists’ would disappear, and stay long gone.
I wonder if these idiot tree sitters are the same bunch of loose nuts who weep for trees when their Chopped Down to make some of the products they use
I hope the trooper is better soon.
I love it when the herd is thinned of libtard morons!
Rightists commit mass shootings (sometimes killing dozens) and FPM whinges and whines when the shooter’s obvious links to the extreme right comes out. Cops form biker gangs, commit murders, sexual assaults and traffic drugs. FPMers shriek, “thin blue line”.
When a leftist blocks the street. FPM scream terrorism. The police stop rightists from installing Trump as a fascist dictator and starting a civil war. FPMers foam at the mouth, their eyes roll back in their heads and they swallow their tongues.
It’s really pathetic.
Name one right winger who supposedly committed a mass shooting? They’re ALL leftists, black supremacists and Moslems and WE ALL know it.
You fucking lowlfe scumbag.
Payton S. Gendron. Mass shooter and fascist who perpetrated the terrorist attack in Buffalo, NY.

Now, once you finish eating shit get back to me for more punishment. You seem to like it.
What’s a matter Jeff? Don’t have anything to say?
The Discovery channel Hostage Taker was also a Eco-Fanatic and Al Gore follower
F’ing gaylord. You couldn’t get laid in a whore house for retards and homos.
And you’re definitely a retard. A homo, too.
It is irrelevant if he fired first, if he pointed a gun at all the Cops there he will die in a hail of bullets and rightly so. Fool.
One of those cops got hurt, though. I think he got wounded in the shoulder.
They killed that F’er, though. Good job, in my opinion.
why would somebody downvote this comment? Do you like dead cops or something? What are you, BLM or Antifa?
