Georgia Governor Declares State of Emergency, Authorizes 1,000 Troops to Protect Citizens

Atlanta, GA – Following weeks of dramatically increased violent crime and property destruction in the City of Atlanta, the July Fourth weekend saw over thirty Georgians wounded by gunfire, including five confirmed dead. Today Governor Kemp issued Executive Order 07.06.20.01, which declares a State of Emergency across Georgia and authorizes the activation of as many as 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops.

“Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead,” said Governor Kemp. “This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city. I have declared a State of Emergency and called up the Georgia Guard because the safety of our citizens comes first. This measure will allow troops to protect state property and dispatch state law enforcement officers to patrol our streets. Enough with the tough talk. We must protect the lives and livelihoods of all Georgians.”

The municipal cops weren’t doing their jobs before, why would they start now? The Guard are not being sent to patrol the streets, they’re being sent to “free up” the city cops. This is stupid.

More restrictions? How do these people think they’re going to get tax money If they kill businesses? Well, I guess they’ll just pull a Chávez and confiscate everything.

“Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda”

Only Demonrats believe that at this point and they are holding their noses for now.

I don’t think the guard is going to stop this. They are not armed and like the cops they are not going to bust heads when criminals fail to get with the program. At this point the anarchists and looters know this.

Only the police and courts can stop this. That will not happen in Atlanta with that District Attorney who wants to charge the cops immediately and let the criminals go. It will be a long summer in Hotlanta.

I meant to say that what they did would have been terroristic threat in Texas. Sorry about the ambiguity.

“These Democrats who control these cities are going to get their just desserts.”

AMEN to THAT! ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ hasn’t suffered any deaths, but the damage to property, our State Capitol (WHICH EVERYONE IN WISCONSIN OWNS!!) businesses and the general peace of mind is beyond anything you can put a price tag on.

These Dems must ALL go! ALL of them. From the top down to the lowly Unionista Thug and ANY of these ‘paid for protestors’ who crawled out of Mama’s Basement for some fire-bombing, statue-tipping and cash!
