Former Georgia deputy wanted to charge Black people with felonies to prevent them from voting

[Suburban Warrior]

A former Georgia deputy said he had plans to charge Black Georgians with felonies to prevent them from voting, according to court filings in the Middle District of Georgia.

Cody Griggers, 28, pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of possession of an unregistered firearm. He was fired from his position in November 2020 after FBI investigators messaged the Wilkinson County sheriff about the investigation into Griggers, the Raleigh News & Observer reported.

The FBI first became aware of Griggers from a separate federal case in California regarding an associate of his, Grey Zamudio. They started investigating Zamudio after receiving a tip about Facebook posts that said "it's up to vigilantie militia to crush the liberal terrorists." Investigators seized Zamudio's cell phone from a search warrant where they discovered that he and Griggers regularly communicated in a group text known as "Shadow Moses."

According to the filing, Griggers wrote extensively in the group about purchasing illegal weapons and explosives and "expressed viewpoints consistent with white racially motivated extremists," including positive references to the Holocaust.

Paging Tim Scott

[Faux pas]

1. Kickin' with disgust!

[iluvtennis]

15. Ditto. n/t

[joetheman]

19. This ought to be enough for the DOJ to look into all felony charges for blacks in GA. You know he

spread the word to other jurisdictions. maybe most of the felonies should be thrown out?

[Faux pas]

23. There

needs to be a deep dive into all that, for sure.

[Bayard]

2. "liberal terrorists"

Somehow, those 2 words just don't seem to go together.

[canuckledragger]

8. As usual...

It was just projection on the part of the conservative terrorist.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Yea, like militant pacifist. nt

[Baitball Blogger]

3. Put this in the duh column.

[tulipsandroses]

4. I'm sure he's not the only person in law enforcement with that idea

Another " bad apple" in a rotting farm.

[rickyhall]

5. That's why cannabis and cocaine were banned in the first place.

[paleotn]

6. Tim Scott is a tool.

Nothing more, nothing less. In every marginalized group, there's always a few who will sell out their fellows for personal gain. And they can usually be bought quite cheaply.

[PortTack]

10. Sad isn't it??!!

[msfiddlestix]

7. wow. no words. n/t

[aggiesal]

9. Griggers is Irony Deficient ...

Now he won't get to vote!!!
IDIOT!

[TomDaisy]

11. he's not alone --- this is how white supremacist law enforcement operates

[AllaN01Bear]

13. wonder what would happen if the cops lost their fancy pensions and "union"

[peppertree]

14. Replace "Former Georgia deputy" with Republican Party

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. And just who are the "terrorists" in this scenario?

Do police academies not do personality inventories on prospective recruits. How do so many of these slugs slither into these positions?

[maxrandb]

18. Police Academies know which rocks to look under to find them

It's not accidental...its intentional.

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. I'd like to THINK that that wasn't true, evidence to the contrary.

[maxrandb]

17. Every case he was EVER involved in needs to be thrown out

Those convicted should be released, and the county should pay to expunge all their records and provide monetary compensation for every second of confinement.

EVERY traffic offense he wrote needs to be thrown out, driver's records expunged, and every fine paid back to the citizens affected, with interest.

Then, we can talk about punitive damages.

[uponit7771]

21. +1,

[mountain grammy]

20. Really.

Today just about everyone was agreeing with Tim Scott.
America’s not racist. Dontchaknow
