In December 2022, reported on five Antifa members who were arrested and held on terrorism charges after protesting outside of a $90 Million police training center near Atlanta, Georgia.
During the arrests, police recovered bombs, flares, gasoline, and weapons.
Additionally, the protesters torched at least two vehicles during their protests at the training center site.
Protests have been ongoing since June 2021 when the training center was announced with opponents camping out in surrounding trees. Protesters have dubbed the center “Cop City.”
In January, TGP reported that a far-left protestor from Stop Cop City ATL, was killed and a Georgia State Patrol trooper was wounded during a confrontation near the facility.
Sunday evening, smoke and flames erupted in the area and the site was put on lockdown.
The violence was pre-announced on Twitter weeks ago and appears to be part of the continued effort to carry out revenge attacks for their gunman being shot dead & their comrades being charged with domestic terrorism offenses. #Antifa t.co/Sg7wyh58AC pic.twitter.com/B1ryaX6BQh
