After Georgia Police Kill Left-Wing Activist, Antifa Sparks Riots in Atlanta

Julio had this story first. A left-wing agitator encamped near Atlanta’s future training facility for law enforcement, dubbed "cop city," was killed this week as police executed a raid. The forested location is the new ground zero for leftists hoping to impede the construction of the new building. The city is looking to complete the center later this year. Left-wingers have flocked to the area, setting up barricades and occupying the location in a situation reminiscent of the CHAZ zone in Seattle during the 2020 election.

When police arrived, a confrontation ensued as the protester refused to leave his tent. He ignored repeated orders to vacate and then opened fire on officers, wounding one. Police returned fire, killing the suspect, which has infuriated leftists, calling for a night of rage to avenge their fallen “comrade.” Manuel Teran was identified as the protester killed in the officer-involved shooting. At least four others were also arrested:

Are you suggesting that Antifa members carry Antifa membership cards ??

[Elsie]

Insurance rates about to go up!

If ANTIFA were to venture into the suburbs you would indeed hear about what people have in the closet. We don’t really care anything about what goes on down there in the jungle.

[Elsie]

I believe you are correct.

Corporations don’t shoot back, they fold.

[GingisK]

The really sad thing is that I live so far out from the city center that there wouldn’t be anyone left for me to shoot.

LOL! “Don’t leave home without it.” 🤔👍

the scalps of antifa should be nailed to boards outside every police station in the country.

no bag limit too.

How does one identify a member of Antifa ?

[Tommy Revolts]

Antifa seems to be a very large organization.

[usconservative]

Is that a serious question ⁉️

[AirForceVet1988]

Yes.

[SauronOfMordor]

How do we know they’re Antifa ? Were they wearing uniforms or showing ID cards ?

They try to dress identically in "black bloc" uniform, in order to make it hard to prove which of them did any particular act. It's not just that they tend to wear black.

My advice to you if you find yourself in a riot where people are destroying property while dressed like you, is to leave the area immediately if you don't want to get caught up in the response.

Thank you.

Antifa riots = target rich environment. Will the police do their job?

[meyer]

Law enforcement officers need training to prevent unnecessary deaths.

The death of an Antifa member is the same as the death of a Nazi in 1945 - and is NOT an "unnecessary" teath.

I’m one county away from Indy.

Now?
Don’t know.

Later?
They have no hair.
