Five Antifa Members Charged with Terrorism After Insurrection, Takeover of Police Facility

Five people were arrested Tuesday as part of a long-running protest over plans to build a public safety training facility on the outskirts of Atlanta.

This from westernjournal.com.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation:

All five were charged with domestic terrorism.

The GBI noted that criminal activity at the site has included:

[C]arjacking, various crimes against persons, destruction of property, arson, and attacks against public safety officials.

The GBI said:

Francis Carroll, 22, of Maine was charged with criminal trespass, domestic terrorism, aggravated assault, felony obstruction, interference with government property and possession of tools for the commission of the crime.

Nicholas Olson, 25, of Nebraska, was charged with domestic terrorism, aggravated assault, interference with government property and obstruction.

Serena Hertel, 25, of California, was charged with criminal trespass, domestic terrorism, aggravated assault, obstruction and inciting a riot.

Leonardo Vioselle, 20, of Macon, Georgia, was charged with criminal trespass, domestic terrorism, and possession of tools of the crime.

Arieon Robinson, 22, of Wisconsin was charged with criminal trespass, obstruction and domestic terrorism.

The day after the arrests, the group supporting those arrested posted defiant messages on Twitter of a protest outside the jail where those arrested were held.

A report from journalist Andy Ngo on the Post Millennial noted:

[T]he site of the future facility, which they have dubbed a ‘cop city,’ has been a target for more than a year.

According to WXIA-TV:

Last month, Richard Porter, an auto mechanic from Dallas, Georgia, had found his way to the site looking for an item to refurbish.

Porter said he stopped his vehicle:

[A]nd then these people started coming out of the woods in camouflage stuff and blocked me in.

He said:

Attackers set fire to his truck.

Porter said he:

Had no idea what was going on out there.

According to CNN:

Final thoughts: Antifa will continue, and perhaps even escalate their activities, as long as liberal leadership attempts to deal with them as if they were sensible adults or, worse yet, sees them as communism’s useful tools.

I say the United States of America should, ‘Go ugly early’ when dealing with terrorism, whether it be homegrown or foreign. But it’s not too late to properly deal with Antifa. Conservative leadership will know what to do.

Meanwhile, liberalism will flounder and fail to effectively deal with Antifa OR communism will fan the flames.
