(PJ Media) It turns out that prosecutors can use RICO for actual crimes and not just for left-wing political persecution. Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr is using the statute to charge over 60 individuals in conjunction with the domestic terrorism that has taken place over a proposed public safety training center the city of Atlanta wants to build.
“Court officials have confirmed that 61 people have been indicted in a racketeering case tied to protests at the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center,” reports WSB Radio.
“The sweeping indictment, handed up last Tuesday in Fulton County court, is being prosecuted by the Georgia Attorney General’s Office,” a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution indicates. “Fulton Clerk Ché Alexander said a copy of the document should be available today.”
Protests over the training center, which left-wing activists have dubbed “Cop City,” have gone on since 2021. Ostensibly, these “protesters,” to use the mainstream media’s anodyne term, have expressed their displeasure over the environmental concerns, despite the fact that the site served as a prison farm for years.
Goons with ties to both Antifa and Stacey Abrams disrupted church services where employees of the contractor were worshiping and firebombed a daycare center near the site, but tensions rose to new heights in January when a group of terrorists fired at law enforcement officers clearing the site of squatters. One thug fired at a state trooper, so police shot back and killed him.
