'Cop City' demonstrators may have deliberately set fires at concrete company, Stone Mountain Park | |
2023-11-16 | |
[Fox5 Atlanta] Two fires on Tuesday may be connected to the opposition to the construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center (APSTC) in southeast Atlanta.
A spokesperson for Ernst Concrete said the extent of the company's involvement with the APSTC was supplying two loads of concrete for the roadway surrounding the project. "Ernst Concrete is not the concrete foundation company for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center," the company said. According to an online post titled "Make Contractors Afraid Again," they set the fire in an effort to make the cost of the contract greater than the profit. They also encouraged "experimentation with incendiary placement." A source also told FOX 5 Atlanta that the group may be involved in a fire that destroyed the historic Davis House in Stone Mountain Park. That fire also started on Tuesday between 2 and 3 a.m. The home, which was 180 years old, was destroyed by the blaze. The house, which was previously known as the Dickey House, was built in the 1840s in Dickey, Georgia, and moved to Stone Mountain in 1961. However, officials have yet to officially determine if the fire at Stone Mountain Park was arson. Protests against the proposed training center — dubbed "Cop City" by opponents — have been going on for more than two years. Over the weekend, activists held meetings, concerts, dinners, and direct action to rally support to block the project.

#10 /\ The home can best be defended, as the situation permits, from...outside the home. I'll leave it at that. |

#9 For the record & FBI monitor's out there. I'll will only apply self defense actions as needed to protect my rights and family. But given the Far Lefts violent history, I'll have plenty wiggle room. |

#8 RE #6: We need to start with the politicians that allow (support?) this crap. Our government began sliding into the sunset when we stopped hanging crooked politicians. We need to go back to that. "I have a little(?) list. . ." |

#5 It's been on the verge on anarchy for many years. They've got a legal and political system that now supports anarchy. Few surprises here. |

#4 Seems the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center would have at least one 'baton safety crowd control' and 'water cannon' range. |

#3 #2 Things have gone too far, especially in Atlanta. Having them run away to fight another day is no longer acceptable. This needs be stopped, this preposterous tyranny of some semi-educated imbecile's 'feels'. |
