In the wake of a shooting between Antifa terrorists and law enforcement at the site of a future public safety training facility and domestic terrorist activity in downtown Atlanta, Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) declared a 15-day state of emergency that allows him to call up the National Guard to deal with these out-of-town insurgents if need be.
Kemp wrote in his five-page executive order:
WHEREAS: In consultation with public safety officials and emergency preparedness officials, I have determined that the following actions are necessary and appropriate to protect public peace and provide for the safety and welfare of Georgia’s citizens, visitors, and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO THE AFOREMENTIONED GEORGIA LAW, CODE SECTION 38-3-51, CODE SECTION 45-12-29, AND THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME AS THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED: That because of unlawful assemblage, violence, overt threats of violence, disruption of the peace and tranquility of this state and danger existing to persons and property, a State of Emergency is declared in the State of Georgia.
The order comes as tensions could ratchet back up this weekend after five Memphis police officers face murder charges in the beating death of a suspect.
“The continued anti-police movement in Atlanta could also be further enflamed by the charging of five former Memphis police officers with second-degree murder and other crimes in the arrest and death of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist who died three days after a traffic stop confrontation,” reports Fox 5. “Body camera video of the incident is expected to be released on Friday evening.”

Antifa is gathering from all over the country, an antifa got shot by the cops. Al Sharpton will attend. At 6pm tomorrow the police body camera video of the black young man bludgeoned to death by 5 black cops will be released.
Governor is calling out the national guard.
“Maybe he should wait until there is an actual emergency?”
no different than calling out the Guard before an oncoming hurricane might hit ...
who does he think are ‘out of town insurgents”? Conservative voters?
You don’t know much about who runs this state and that city.
**********
You’re correct about me not knowing Georgia politics, but I know Antifa very well living 45 minutes from Portlandia, Oregon.
I’ve been to Georgia once, for about hour at the Atlanta airport on my way to Puerto Rico in the early 1990’s.
Not one person has stated the what will be the result of such a declaration:
It focuses the entire Georgian government to get after ANTIFA. That is the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, and every other law enforcement organization, the police and National Guard cyber capabilities, to be brought to bear on IDENTIFYING people for prosecution as terrorists. That includes their support infrastructure, recruiting, training, finance.
There is no other reason.
He himself let this happen in Atlanta back in 2020. Hard to forget that.
Kemp won in 2022. So he’s not in campaign mode now. Maybe Kemp is a Republican who hates ANTIFA? Yeah Kemp may be corrupt but it doesn’t mean he’s not terrible at governing.
Whatever he does or calls it to get the guard up and running and smash those little shits is ok with me.
Tell you what guys, I’m going to give this guy quite a bit
of latitude. We have seen the ANTIFA / BLM folks rip this
nation a new one. For years I have ask who was going to
stand up to them.
Evidently this guy and his national guard are, if they
cause trouble.
That suits me just fine.
Maybe they’ll also figure out who is paying them and put
his ass in prison right along with them.
No disagreement here. But, I do agree with others that this is a pre-emptive move / intended as a deterrent...
I think so too, and I think it may be something he needs to
do preemptively in order to get a quick start if he needs to.
He’s prepping. If he didn’t do this, he’s have to do it
later, and that could take time.
If they do something at odd hours or on a weekend, it might
be critical that he has already done this.
Apparently you don’t get the news from the ATL
Arrests mean nothing unless the terrorists are actually prosecuted instead of having their charges dropped by crooked liberal prosecutors and judges.
Yes. Kemp is a 2nd rate average politician. Whatever his reason for activating the NG, he will never stand out in History, not even as a footnote.
If he had any real intelligence capacity, he would find a way to get to the bottom of the 2020 election fraud. He has neither the brainpower nor fortitude to pursue this. As a result, the persecution of Donald Trump and related trauma suffered by Americans continues unabated.
Lets see the black c;ad mobs appear in downtown Atlanta now!
NOt happening, like all commie guerillas they will discard their uniforms and blend in with the “rest of the fish on the sea.”
There must be a STATE counter espionage force organized against them becuse BLM and Antifa are essentially trained by the FBI black cell of the FBI counter espionage team.
We are talking about a nationally organized and black money funded organization.SO calling out the Georgia National Guard will not be enough.
Georgia needs to declare them a terrorist organization and authorize use of deadly force to apprehend BLM and ANTIFA cells.
Antifa is a militant wing of the Democrat party.
Why are they being called into action now? It seems early for the 2024 election.
but but but... I thought those protests were peaceful!??
Must be Antifa is now white supremacist. Or maybe Kemp just doesn’t like people who run around setting fire to stuff and such.
