Last night, around 5:30 p.m., Georgia police said a group of violent agitators used the cover of a festival and peaceful protest to coordinate an attack on construction equipment and police officers at a proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. “This is not a protest,” APD officials said at a press conference Sunday night. “This wasn’t about a public training center; this was about anarchy.”
Today, Atlanta PD announce 23 people were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism, including Thomas Jurgens of Georgia who is a staff lawyer for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The SPLC has long been known as an extremist group of radical leftists operating under the auspices of “anti-hate group” lawyering. The arrest of an SPLC activist/lawyer on domestic terrorism charges affirms the radicalization of the group itself. VIDEO REPORT:
(Atlanta PD) – On March 5, 2023, a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers. They changed into black clothing and entered the construction area and began to throw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police officers.
The illegal actions of the agitators could have resulted in bodily harm. Officers exercised restraint and used non-lethal enforcement to conduct arrests. (link)
Officers have arrested a total of 23 people. Only two of them are from Georgia. The following have been charged with domestic terrorism, according to Atlanta police (link):
It is long overdue for the SPLC to be listed as a hate group. Looks like they’re working on making the domestic terrorism list as well.
With Garland in charge? Are you kidding? They will never be listed as hate group or domestic terrorists under the democrats. Have you not paid attention for the past three years since 2020 riots?
regardless of who is in charge – we citizens can call them out
as domestic terrorists
how about making fun of them
with crazy memes against our enemies
He (Garland) is probably related to at least a couple of them. This will be swept aside and we’ll hear about them again one day. Jurgens will probably bail out a child murderer/pedophile or something similar.
Hate group? Do you really want to go down that road? Call them violent, call them thugs, rioters or even a cult. But we have GOT to stop feeding this “hate” crime narrative.
Crime is crime. Feelings, be they real or imagined, are not a criminal offense.
You are right on!!!!!
You’re absolutely right, but “hate” is the Left’s weapon of choice, as well as their driving motivation. They will never abandon it. They can’t — it’s who/what they are, hate personified.
Afterthought. It’s Marx/Alinsky 101: Accuse the enemy of what you’re guilty of.
I 100% agree. If you take someone’s life, regardless of the reason, the victim is no less dead and I guarantee you the person doing the killing hates you at that moment. The victim certainly feels hated.
Agreed.
I cannot think of ANY crime that is loving and caring.
then there is another argument (and please don’t even for a moment take this mean I support SPLC)…
IF a THE PEOPLE engage in no civil protests against a corrupt criminal tyrant state, is that a crime?
this brings the debate squarely in the realm of the very basis from which this country won its freedom.
in the “eyes” of british law, certainly the early Americans were criminals…breaking laws…violating the law…even dotted as terrorists and insurrectionists.
are the protesters in J6 criminals?
that’s a very difficult question for some people.
I am not conflicted on this matter. if the moral reason is sufficient violence is the ultimate form of political action.
having the best legal argument is often not enough to win the day…freedom, security, liberty, these things that require action…revolutionary action. This will never change. No other course of action can achieve it.
when WE THE PEOPLE start to understand this fully, we will revisit this matter and end the debate on the battle fields…as did our first people.
now back to SPLC “staff”…to be honest these people look like unorganized amateur hour. In a way I respect the guts to try even if I don’t support the action. Respect for a person to take the risk..the danger (grave danger …is there any other kind?), well that is a uncommon trait…And yes, that trait can be present in illegitimate anarchists. and that is where I tend to place this recent SPLC criminal activity.
Just my own opinion
God Bless America
“I respect the guts to try ” what if they were handled by the FBI and they KNOW they are protected… like, they will let them free afterwards… like it happened in the past, is that guts?
it’s a valid point …my argument does not reside in the notion that the british loyalists did and WERE successful in creating skirmishes that allowed MORE control than would otherwise…controlled false flags are a real thing. No one disputes that if they understand warfare. By argument is the principle of violence to achieve what can never be achieved through diplomacy and political action.
it would take over 30 years for the young americans to organize sufficiently to raise an army. the between years, it was local skirmishes and LOTS OF SABOTAGE…both sides..but nothing that approached full scale combat operations.
My views about doing what is necessary is an examination of the current war at this stage and phase. outside of a rather small protest in DC on jan 6th, there has not been anything close to an actual skirmish of any signficance. J6 may or may not be viewed in the future as the pivotal moment. History is difficult to predict. But we do know that when THE PEOPLE recognize a moment and it resonates without any doping, this draws the organization together. I do believe there is no political solutions for the corruption that exists within the US and the globalist agenda. I believe this for the same reasons it would take the early americans to come to terms with this reality and they slowly and then rapidly began to see all their liberties, their culture, their religion, their property, their taxes, their representation gets stipped away. When you are facing a tyrannt central power that has no challenges, and maintains a political force that is so overwhelming…political solutions are nothing more than wishful desperate thinking. The process however is unavoidable. A political solution will be attempted..over and over and over and over again.
you see it is the PAIN of continued failure to gain power and the protection of property, choices, and freedom that is the catalyst. it does not happen over night…each society has its’ own UNBEARABLE BRINK OF PAIN.
this SPLC is just a good reason to bring this topic up. I could (and did) raise this topic up at the J6 and at every article that speaks to key events about how change happens. How power IS transferred.
I can talk about this from all directions and angles. In this instance, we are seeing people, misguided and probably as you suggest controlled antifa types, as demonstrating a genuine courage. If you think these people will be allowed to walk free, it’s not a unreasonable assumption…regardless they walked into and leaned into a skirmish they created.
If just ONCE, the PEOPLE decided to take actions similar, perhaps we can pick this conversation back up. I just see right around the corner. History is a good measure to estimate what happens next. What needs to happen next in a condition that seems impossible to order.
violence creates peace…it’s the ultimate negotiating factor.
but immoral basis for violence is just anarchy…bound to fail because the predicate is unworthy of the cause.
God Bless America
I opposed the concept of “hate crime” when it was first proposed. I think we shoud repeal all “hate crimes” laws. It’s somehow better to beat someone to death so long as it isn’t racially motivated?
Putting the Left’s sacred cows on their list could be the first step to getting a broader consensus to end the farce.
While I agree with you, I think that we also need to use THEIR WORDS against them. We have to make them live by the rules that they have created. If they want “Hate crimes” then we turn it against them. They should be charged with Hate Crimes because they love that designation so much.
Otherwise, the FBI will release statistics on “hate crimes” and no one from the violent commie left will be counted. It will look like “hate crimes” only come from MAGA supporters.
In bygone days the Brits had the Riot Act.
It was briskly announced and followed by the application of “Rule 303”.
Not hate group. Domestic terrorist group.
Look at those mugshots. The faces of sheer evil.
Take a look @ the parents all you need to know
Somebody shaved their dogs a$$ and taught them to walk backwards
I think you mean the FBI, since they work with them constantly.
The SPLC is the group that lists the hate groups.
Looks like they have to add their name to the list.
Sucks to be them.
Who is paying them? Follow the money. It’s time to find out who or what is behind them.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a tax-exempt, charitable organization incorporated in 1971 under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
All contributions, grants and bequests are tax deductible.
Our tax identification number is 63-0598743.
The SPLC’s work is supported primarily through donor contributions.
No government funds are received or used for its efforts. During its last fiscal year, the SPLC spent approximately 73.9% of its total expenses on program services.
At the end of the fiscal year, the SPLC’s endowment — composed primarily of board-designated funds to support future work — stood at $731.9 million. The SPLC is proud of the stewardship of its resources.
Your tax exempt status is a farce and should be terminated!!
Should not be tax exempt. They used to be a do good group, but not for years now. They should lose that ta exempt . Anyone who actually still supports them is not a good person or group. They quit that a long time ago…..now they are only supporting the bad ones.
It’s a money laundering operation with some violent, commie, anti-USA deeds thrown in.
“Program services”?
And what would those be?
Second question…
Who are the “donors”?
Soros democrat party.. US govt.
Soros I’d bet big bucks on.
If the government, that would be me…and you…and everyone who is forced to pay taxes.
I do not consent. But then, I do not consent to most of what this government pours our money into.
Morris Dees has long been known as a financial “slight-of-hand” man. Even the left has looked askance at his fundraising techniques. See: Morris Dees Fact Sheet “‘Til the Cash Comes Flowing Like a River…” at The Patriotist
They should start wearing brown shirts. That would complete the image.
Zyy would never allow the competition.
Actor George Clooney and wife donated 1 million to them…probably a lot of Hollywood types did the same…
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2017/08/22/george-clooney-donates-1-million-to-southern-poverty-law-center-to-fight-hate/
I keep hectoring this.
Anarchism is now mainstream Democrat Party dogma. Mainstream.
The extreme wealth of the post-Second World War world produces absurd people who regard themselves as immune to the realities of life.
Hollywood movie stars who think themselves invulnerable because they have security guards and alarm systems? And if the guards don’t come to work, and no one responds to the alarms?
Civilization, as always, is a thin veneer.
3/4 of a billion dollars would cure a lot of poverty. But instead you blow up things? You try and do kill cops? Law doesn’t belong in the description of this group.
Or “southern poverty,” for that matter. Lefty technique of covering all their treachery in smarmy do-good camouflage is especially repugnant — but hey, whatever works when you’re destroying a country and getting rich doing it.
There is NO DEFENCE for the violence SPLC sponsors. PURE Violence and destruction. Indefensible.
On Sunday, around 5:30 p.m., police said a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest to create a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers at the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
Atlanta officials stated the group changed into all black, went inside the construction area, and threw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at law enforcement.
“This is not a protest,” APD officials said at a press conference Sunday night. “This wasn’t about a public training center; this was about anarchy.”
Obama’s “100,000 strong civilian army?”
These skinny legged morons are Obama’s finest foot soldiers.
Soros its obvious.
We are all paying for the SPLC with our Apple devices and tunes and whatnot.

41 up votes, Bella?
Congratulations.
So the 9/11 terrorists were motivated only by money?
No. The welfare State produces people who are most manifestly not motivated by money.
And our enormous bureaucracy produces absurd people who get paid for just showing up.
The Antifa people are the children of overpaid bureaucrats.
All 501(c)(3) have to file a IRS form 990 and need to make it publicly available. It shows all the cash in and out.
The IRS has been working as a goon squad enforcement arm for the left wing for years.
Soros’ team and Garland’s DOJ will have them out of jail and charges dropped in no time.
Last I saw Merrick Garland was in….Ukraine.
Seriously.
Time to burn down the SPLC legally & physically. They and all democratic lawyers are the enemy. Period.
Are there a lotta red noses?
The SPLC guy was probably in charge. All the rest probably have a previous record.
This is still just Antifa, paid for through law firms like the SPLC by 3rd party NGO’s or our tax dollars.
Throw them all in jail and throw away the key. The people funding this stuff should also be arrested.
In the days of Old Georgia, the good ol’ boys would have made short work of this gang of idiots… But…. In today’s woke Georgia, they’ll all walk….. just sayin’ ….
Please surprise me in my dreams…. 🙏 🙏
ANTIFA – All White Actors !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^^ ANTIFA is what real White Domestic Terror Extremest look like ^^^^
Not like this :
They may be actors but at least they are all white Marxists.
The SPLC is the original hate group, right after the klan.
Everyone of these people look alike
Same sort of entities with crazy or dead eyes.
You mean deranged?
Yes. Especially the females. Very disturbed individuals get involved in this kind of stuff.
Most of them claim to be “Trans” in some way. They’re all deranged.
They used to be Marxist utopians.
They now tell themselves that anarchy will produce their utopia.
What they truly want is the totalitarian State that makes them less than human, because life is so painful and difficult for the mad.
America truly realizes life for the those who are happy. The crazy can never be happy anywhere.
Yeap, they are all cut from the same cloth. These are the children of privilege.
An actual arrest of leftist scum it’s like the Eagles re-uniting for the “Hell Freezes Over” tour. Can’t believe it actually took place.
Another
leftist insurrection.
The 23 should be treated and denied their civil rights like our J6 detainees in the DC gulag. We however will provide them with due process, they will continue to commit crimes until they are put on trial or rearrested. Funny, J6 folks never even got bail hearings.
J 6 are treated as prisoners of war. Everyone sees it.
So should this SPL caca group. No bail for them either…..Make them wait just as long as the J-6 group for bail and/or trial. J-6 group did not do the damage that was done, it was those against the J-6 group who did all the damage…..including the idiots that try to call them cops…..they are just paid security guards, and should never be allowed to wear a gun. Probably couldn’t pass the “real police” exam – Not a one of them.
These HVTs should have been exterminated. Save the Georgy Taxpayers $$$$. Dead criminals CANNOT commit anymore crimes. Charles Bronson.
You get what you tolerate. Antifa and the Southern Poverty Law Center are violent fronts for anarchists and communists. This should never have been allowed to occur. Here are some questions/remarks about the state of law enforcement in this disappearing country:
Frikking clown show.
Because antifa are working for the fbi. These are the Fed’s brown shirts.
It makes me wonder about the real purpose of the training facility. Almost like there’s a psy op going on to generate sympathy for police and the project.
Happened because Nasty put out her orders…..and they always obeyed Nastys’ orders.
Just looking at them makes me want to take a shower
Agree 100%
I’ll say it – They
better beshould be put in *jail* EXACTLY like the Jan 6 *political prisoners*. These disgusting slugs are definitely DOMESTIC TERRORISTS and need to be put away under stricter and more horrendous CONDITIONS than those innocent people who only attended a FREAKIN RALLY – Just sayin!!The video of the attack is on the Gateway Pundit. It is about time ANTIFA feels some hurt
Don’t hold your breath till it does.
Anarchism is now mainstream Democrat Party dogma. Mainstream.
The utopian dreams of Marxists died in Cuba and Venezuela.
So now, after the collapse of society, will come a better world. Just because. And we need to be punished as racists, anyway. So there’s that.
Watch the 2006 film the Children of Men, with Clive Owen and Michael Caine, to get a taste of their confused vision.
As always with our leftists, an ersatz version of Christianity is the best they can do.
Missed one.
The only problem with that one is when he is gone, there are others to take his place…..he has trained them all to follow in his footsteps.
“I’ll bet that the whole thing disappears in a cloud of “decline to prosecute for lack of evidence” smoke.
If they were conservatives however…….
The SPLC has long been known as an extremist group of radical leftists that gives marching orders to the FBI.
I thought they only arrested peaceful assemblies?
That aside, I don’t go down that “hate crimes” road, even for these people. If they commit real crimes like arson, riot and assault then, by all means, book em, Dano. Otherwise globalists will just create more false flags to bolster their “hate” crimes portfolio to eventually include anyone and everyone who goes against tyrannical gubmint edicts.
There are no “hate” crimes. There are only crimes.
Already too many three letter hate groups as it is. Need to get rid of all of them – – – I mean all the 3 letter groups period. Americans imparticular, seem to have forgotten how to actually talk, or speak so Americans can hear and understand.
Im impressed with the Atlanta PD all things considered.
Mass Exodus of Police Officers Leaving Communities in Danger
Good. Any cop with a lick of sense would get the hell out of the large cities.
I don’t blame cops for wanting to leave.
Some of this anti-cop stuff is intended to end public funded policing and switch to private security for certain groups. It gets a group (Policemen) not always on the regime side and gets their pensions off the books. Another Patronage program.
If this keeps up people are going to have to depend on defending themselves and their families. The old ways will be back.
Atlanta PD stepped up.
Notice that the corrupt Garland DOJ sat this one out.
Throw every one of them in an Atlanta “gulag” for 2 years without bail. Let’s see how the Left likes it when the shoe is on the other foot.
This is the time to roll them up. There needs to be intelligence investigation into how they connected as a terrorist cell, how travel plans were made, and who funded them. Just like rolling up an Al-Qaeda cell.
Just follow the money…..that is how it is all done. MONEY MONEY AND MORE MONEY. If nobody gave them any money, they would all leave it undone.
It’s a Mad World…
Check out the mug shots of Jack April (uh huh) and Zoe Larmey.
(I almost missed Robert-Paul!)
We’re doomed.
For centuries, civilized countries simply locked up the mad.
This is better?
So what did the poor countries do with the dangerously mad? I have a guess.
I once attended the security office of the Sears store in downtown Toronto.
They had photos of the professional shop lifters on the wall.
I suggested it would save time to just arrest ugly people as they entered the store.
You see what I meant?
Looks like a lineup of cowardly, spoiled brats to me. Only “Courageous” when in a mob. Individually,
they would turn tail and run if you said “BOO!”
I consider them to be the same as the stuff I scrape off my boots after walking in the pasture.
As for the SPLC……..pond scum.
Finally got some of the middle management arrested with the “hired help”.
Bound to happen for as long as they have been involved with Antifa. The one with the law degree must have missed the memo on how to avoid arrest.
If this country had a functioning FBI then we wouldn’t have to deal with this crap. And where is that useless empty suit Chris Wray with his Antifa is an idea?
I think probation and time served will teach these kids an important lesson.
sarc
Not kids. Alexis Papali is near 50 years old.
And Season 4 kicks off.
Andy Ngo is all over this and the close ties between antifa and splc.
Tweets by MrAndyNgo
Listed as from Georgia yet only licensed to practice in Florida
Well they need to be held for years without a bail hearing and then not allowed access to evidence when defending themselves. Then when convicted sentenced to way more years than normal. Isn’t that the standard now?
Let’s see how soon before they are bailed out. It would be interesting to watch who puts up bail for these guys.
“I got you!”
Its all connected
Is it just me, or do these people look like escapees from a carnival freak show?
Every time there is a mass arrest of antifa, the mugshot groups look amazingly similar no matter where in the country it is. This grouping could just as easily have been from Portland in 2020.
Minneapolis 2020, Seattle 2020, In front of the White House and St John’s Church 2020…cross link these anarchists (cell phones?) to the summer riots of 2020.
No coincidence this should happen after CPAC…Trump’s speech and another step to 2024.
Their purpose in 2020 was to undermine the President’s reelection. No coincidence they are prepping for another go at it.
Round up the usual suspects.
The FBI like to recruit drug addicts.
Only 2 of the 23 are from Georgia including Jurgens (the instigator); there is 1 from France & 1 from Canada, the other 19 are from all over the U.S.. The 3 letter agencies, etc… with all their surveillance devices, informants, infiltrators, etc… didn’t have a clue about these people? Ray Epps must’ve been busy on the 5th … he could’ve whooped that whole crowd with one arm tied behind his back before they damaged any property!
Please permit me another post, because I think there’s a book to be written about just these mug shots.
The criminals come from all over the map.
Leftist nuts from Canada and France, along with only two from Georgia.
The anarchists worldwide are obviously conspiring against the western world, particularly America. Duh!
The Republicans/conservatives who find it easier to dismiss conspiracy theories need to explain this obvious plot.
The conspiracy is easier to see than their point.
The attacks on food processing plants everywhere and oil refineries in Mexico make the conspiracy more obvious than the intent.
Anarchy has no specific intent, except anarchy. Wake up and smell the coffee.
I believe Andy Ngo already wrote it.
The federal problem will HAVE to be addressed at the states level. This is how we are supposed to deal with things like this. The problem is that people factually believe the lie that we are a top-down governing system. In actuality, we are supposed to be a bottom up system where the real power is at the local level. This is why the language of the constitution is (1) a limited definition of powers at the federal level (where all else is left to the states, and from the states defining themselves leaving the rest to the local) and (2) the constitutional amendments which positively assert new powers at the federal level where, the bill of rights are specifically intended to define powers which the government (at any level) shall not have (Shall not infringe).
Sadly, it is from these post bill of rights amendments that we have so much trouble along with the accepted abuse of and misinterpretation of the constitution’s “commerce clause.” But these are false things and should never be accepted and challenged in SCOTUS for rulings.
But when “lawfare” gives way to “warfare” it’s a sign that they know they are losing.
The communists are going full-tilt for some kind of armed, violent, sustained conflict. That is the only way Trump can be denied the White House. Normal procedure makes toast of these communists. They don’t have a leg to stand on and they know it. All the communists in America have going for them is violence and perversion: not a winning combination.
Communism?
What side have the billionaires Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos taken in your reality?
Has the concept of corporatism penetrated your reality?
Please name a communist of consequence?
Lock em up with Bubba as their cellmate. About time these spoiled brats get a taste of reality
Always remember that the SPLC was founded by Morris Dees who was known as a KKK lawyer in the early 1960’s.
Middle-class Caucasians from the New England and the Midwest appear to be far more concerned about police brutality in Atlanta than minorities who live in Atlanta.
On a more serious note, examine the average DoBs. Most of these people were in high school or college during the Obama years. A lost generation indeed.
Someone also needs to begin asking who and what is providing a support network which allows people from all over, as well as outside of, the US to conduct the prolonged siege in Atlanta and other “peaceful protests.” I’m deducing the appearance of an SPLC “staff lawyer” partially starts to answer those questions.
And if the DHS pays for the SPLC to decide who is a hater while also funding peaceful idealists like antifa, then isn’t there a pipeline from taxpayer to anarchists, all under the watchful eye of our corrupt government? Does SPLC provide DHS with its blacklists for free or are they under contract, and if so, how much do we pay for this service?
They are all Democrats
no matter what they call themselves. President Trump needs to finish what that depressed psychotic Abraham Lincoln failed to do- outlaw the Democrat Party forever.
What good has ever come from the Democrat Party?
The Republican Party appeared in the mid-19th century to advocate for the values of the American Revolution.
Trying to play advocate for the Democrats , I come up empty.
Except these dopes tried to be agents for the foreign Marxist dogma. Failure.
Imagine THAT…a VDE amidst the SPLC, upon whom the FBI and DHS use to identify potential hate groups and extremist organizations. WOW, talk about deeep cover….I hope the Georgia and Florida Bar Associations are paying attention!
Since the SPLC is partners with the Feds, and their representative is a part of the terrorist group, that means the Fed Government is attacking the Government of the State of Georgia. The Feds attacking one of the Several States. Oops!
Justice would be to put them in jail as long as the Patriots of January 6 but we know it will never happen scum all of them pure scum
R.D.
Every single one of those thugs look exactly like I expect these people to look like.
Grace Martin, 2nd row down 2nd from left, looks like she can hardly be bothered to sit down long enough for the mug shot. Looks like she fully expects daddy to bail her out and all this will go away quickly. My cynical self thinks that she may be right.
Looking at the dates of birth, it’s too bad that only six of them might fall under the first cut of Biden’s draftees.
To Ukraine.
Where “the sons and daughters of America will have to die” to preserve Ukraine’s freedom.
Not an exact quote, but close enough.
They’d find a perfect home there with the other Nazis
