Suddenly Domestic Terrorism Charges Are a Problem

[GURPS]

Now That Atlanta Is Using Them Against Antifa


If you’ve missed the news out of Atlanta recently, over the past few months, Antifa-aligned activists have occupied the site of a former prison farm where the city plans on building a public training facility.

Charges of domestic terrorism against these people make perfect sense. Unless you’re NBC.

The network claims that domestic terrorism charges “can be politicized and used against marginalized groups or those disliked by government.”

The NBC article cites Patrick Keenan, a professor of law at the University of Illinois, who says that civil rights groups aren’t crazy about domestic terrorism charges “because of the risk of politicization, because they can be used against politically disfavored groups by the government.”

No, seriously.

What’s really funny is that the article proves that the Atlanta protesters are domestic terrorists by citing Georgia law:

A 2017 Georgia law defines domestic terrorism as a felony intended to kill or harm people; “disable or destroy critical infrastructure, a state or government facility, or a public transportation system”; “intimidate the civil population or any of its political subdivisions”; and change or coerce state policy or affect the conduct of government “by use of destructive devices, assassination, or kidnapping.” Conviction carries a maximum sentence of 35 years in prison.
The allegations against the protesters include trespassing, resisting arrest, throwing rocks and glass bottles and damaging property, including setting fire to a police car. Authorities have also said they found “explosive devices, gasoline, and road flares” in an area in the forest where protesters had makeshift treehouses.

So what do these idiots do if their firebombing equipment spreads to the forest they want to defend. Do they flee back to Atlanta and hope the local firefighters can stop it.

Let it burn all the way through Atlanta. They like fire, let them own it.

What local Fire Department.?
I saw police cars, but not one piece of Fire Equipment.
The cops appear to just sit there and watch it burn.

But they were " peaceful" fires

Most fire departments won't report to a fire if the domestic terrorists are still onsite. They've already shot one police officer.

So these domestic terrorists set these fires and never left the site?
I didn't see the cops making any arrests.

I remember the 1968 riots. The melanin Domestic Terrorists were everywhere and the Fire departments were fighting fires on 14th street ,7th. street ,and H street. Even volunteers from out of the city were there. Maybe things have changed.

But its their precious forest they are protesting over. Would they try to put it out or run like hell as expected.

Shoot them with rubber bullets. Makes it easier to arrest if they are rolling on the ground.

Rubber? Lead works better.

Yeah, but it gets people all upset. All they get from rubber is bruises and it hurts enough to slow them down for the cops to catch them .

If you shoot them in the junk with a beanbag it'll put them out of action for a while and give you something to laugh at the whole time.

When I was Norwich, the Presidents of the senior private military colleges were having a meeting on campus.
One of them was from North Georgia College.
Our wag of a regimental band director had them play "Marching Through Georgia."
