(PM.) Radical Antifa-associated leftists are calling for retaliation after one of their grunts was killed in an incident with police, near the “Cop City” occupying grounds where the Atlanta Police Department Training Facility is set to be built.
“Consider this a call for reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies. On Friday, January 20th, wherever you are, you are invited to participate in a night of rage in order to honor the memory of our fallen comrade,” the Scenes from the Atlanta Forest Twitter account tweeted.

The Antifa activists have been dubbed “Treehouse Antifa” and took to the streets on Wednesday night at Little Five Points in Atlanta, and began throwing scooters. They had been holding a vigil for their fallen comrade.

The shooting took place during a “clearing operation” at around 10 am near an Antifa-linked autonomous zone, where six were charged last month.
