Five activists protesting Atlanta’s new public safety training center have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism, the GBI announced Wednesday — one day after the latest clash between authorities and activists at the planned site for the controversial development.

Dozens of arrests have been made since activists began taking up residence on the site — and engaging in more extreme actions — in an attempt to stop the training center’s construction.

But the charges announced against those arrested this week are believed to be the most serious to date.

The potential penalties vary depending on the specific allegations. But, if convicted, sentences for domestic terrorism could range from five to 35 years.

1. Are these left wing protestors being charged with domestic terrorism?

If so, it’s funny how the right wing protestors at women’s clinics and drag shows are never charged that way.

3. Probably, in America the law, the media treat the right like children who have to

be excused over and over and the left like the adults who have to be held accountable for everything no matter what.

Millions of examples of this.

In the case of law it is more directed toward POC than the left, but it is getting worse.

“ Yesterday’s arrests came after several people threw rocks at police cars and attacked EMTs with rocks and bottles outside local fire stations. After police cleared the area, they found explosive devices, gasoline, & road flares.”
