| Antifa Shoots a Cop in Atlanta; After the Police Respond and Kill a Thug, Antifa Groups Call for a ''Night of Rage'' and Violent Retaliation Against the Police; Biden, the FBI Remain Silent |
| 2023-01-20 |
Follow up to this story from yesterday. It turns out they are Antifa, after all. See also here. [Ace of Spades] Four have been charged with domestic terrorism in the shootout with police.Antifa staged violent protests (do they do any other kind?) to block the construction of a police facility in Atlanta. When cops attempted to clear them out, they opened fire, seriously wounding a cop. The cops returned fire and killed an antifa thug. Now antifa is calling for "reciprocal violence." All of these people will be out on bail faster than any January 6th grandmother arrested for "parading." Four militants have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism following a deadly shootout with law enforcement at their "autonomous zone" in a wooded area south of Atlanta. On Wednesday morning, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies conducted a raid on the so-called autonomous zone at the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. Since June 2021, Antifa and other far-left extremists from across the US have occupied the area to prevent the construction of what they call a "cop city." The GBI says a Georgia State Patrol trooper was shot and severely injured during Wednesday's raid by a man camped in the area. Officers returned fire and killed the gunman, who allegedly used a pistol. Georgia's Department of Public Safety will not name the injured patrol trooper, saying it would "compromise security against criminal or terroristic acts due to retaliation," but told local media he was in the ICU after having emergency surgery. The deceased gunman was named by a propaganda media group for the forest autonomous zone as Manuel "Tortuguita" Teran. The GBI would not confirm the man's legal name pending next of kin notification. "Manuel used they/it pronouns..." Of course they/it does. Antifa is lousy with they/its. And pedophiles. Half of antifa is registered child molesters. No wonder the Democrat Party protects them. "... please make sure we are remembering them properly and respectfully," announced the Atlanta Community Press Collective in their statement revealing the shooter's identity. Following the shooting, the GBI and its law enforcement partners continued to clear the autonomous zone and several arrests were made of suspects--all of whom are from out of state. Remember, Christopher Wray insists they are a "loosely-associated" group, not a national terrorist organization. ...Filler Distro tweeted a call for "retaliation" against police with further instructions from extremist account "Scenes from the Atlanta Forest." .The now-suspended account, which posts blogs from writers at the autonomous zone, wrote: "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 post was shared hundreds of times before the account was suspended. Antifa groups around the country -- remember, this isn't a national organization, just a series of "loosely-affiliated ideological groups" that present no threat -- are calling for violence against cops. 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. Joe Biden continues refusing to condemn antifa, and Christopher Wray continues refusing to call them a major domestic violence threat. Wray gives Biden the excuse for that by claiming that antifa isn't an organization but just a "loosely-associated ideological cluster" or whatever bullshit he uses to protect them. Two points: 1, "white supremacists" and "right-wing domestic terrorist groups" are obviously not "centrally controlled movements" and yet the FBI has made them public enemy number one. Why is that antifa must be tightly centrally controlled for the FBI to take seriously as a domestic threat, while it does not impose this restriction on the Democrats' favorite bugaboo groups? 2, it sure looks like antifa is more centrally organized than the criminal Wray admits:

| #8 With access to Elon Musk’s Twitter archives and that relationship program DoD used in Iraq (and also Afghanistan?), all of the connected Black Bloc cadres could be rounded up by the authorities in a month. It won’t happen under a Democratic president, though. |

| #7 (Sigh) Inflection point reached. Been warning about this since 2016 but here we are. James asks the important question - "Who gave the order?". Now, we have BLMs armed militia organzing to demand reparations at gun point and there is no...NO resistence. This is all coordinated. For previous examples look to how Berkeley CA, Portland OR and Seattle WA have been coordinating for years. Then, social media and internet providers stepped in and crushed the Patriot groups and Proud Boys so now there is no organized defense against what is happening. We are now on our own, right where they wanted all of us. We're gonna see lots of armed Leftist groups heading into 2024. |

| #6 The older ones among us will remember SDS' "days of rage" in Chicago in 1969. That didn't end well. |

| #5 is able to rein them in (at least so far) when politically expedient. Sorta like the Taliban and the ISI... |

| #4 I wonder who gave the go-ahead here. I assume Antifa is tightly associated with some faction in the Democratic coalition that controls their money--and is able to rein them in (at least so far) when politically expedient. My skill at kremlinology is too poor for me to guess who. |

| #3 ^ Dunno. Think of it as an opportunity for early spring house-cleaning. |

| #2 Time for the Atlanta police to have a severe case of "blue flu". The results might be a "learning experience" for the citizens of Atlanta. |

| #1 If they were a threat, the FBI would be all up in their asses. But they're not. They're a loosely allied force of destruction for the deep state. The same ones who want an eternal war in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, and all the other places we don't even know about. However the FBI *is* trying to hurt us, the right. That means we're an actual threat. When you've got a situation like that, the threat has to be an actual threat so that they'll look at the non-threatening side and say, "Hmm, better negotiate with them, those, the threatening ones will literally kill us." And that's why we need to be the threat they imagine that we are. |
