It’s not being reported in the media, but Antifa has gone to war with police in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
They are calling themselves the forest defenders. In reality, they are far-left groups who have taken over an area designated to be a police training center.
Local news reports show that the group has terrorized the local community by burning homes, vandalizing vehicles, and attacking the fire department.
In December 2022, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested five group members on Domestic Terrorism charges. Only one of the individuals arrested was from Georgia. The rest were from Maine, Nebraska, California, and Wisconsin.
A public statement from the Bureau said:
Five people have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism and other charges after a joint operation at the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The GBI is part of a joint task force formed to combat ongoing criminal activity at the Atlanta Police Department (APD) site. Yesterday, December 13, 2022, our agents assisted APD and other local, state, and task force members in an operation to remove barricades blocking some of the entrances to the training center.
Prior to yesterday’s operation, APD and other agencies had made several arrests over the past few months for the ongoing criminal activity at the site location. Some of the criminal activities include carjacking, various crimes against persons, destruction of property, arson, and attacks against public safety officials. Law enforcement continues to address the criminal acts committed by the individuals that continue to occupy the area of the proposed training site.
Yesterday, several people threw rocks at police cars and attacked EMT’s outside the neighboring fire stations with rocks and bottles. Task force members used various tactics to arrest individuals who were occupying makeshift treehouses.
Since then, a total war has broken out between the far-left group and law enforcement.
On January 18, 2022, Police conducted a “clearing operation” when the far-left group opened fire:
Law enforcement officers helping conduct a “clearing operation” at the site of Atlanta’s planned public safety training center exchanged gunfire with a protester Wednesday morning, leaving the protester dead and a state trooper wounded, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The identity of the protester, a male accused of initiating fire with troopers “without warning,” was not released pending notification of kin.
The wounded trooper, who was shot in the abdomen area, also was not identified. He underwent surgery and was in stable condition in the intensive care unit at a local hospital, Georgia State Patrol Col. Chris Wright said during a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
After the exchange of gunfire, four other members were arrested.
The group tried to use media to raise money but Elon’s Twitter shut them down.
Extremist groups are again using Twitter to fundraise for their terror suspect comrades who were arrested by the @GBI_GA. Last month, six were charged w/domestic terrorism & other violent crimes. Their bail & legal defense were also quickly crowdfunded. https://t.co/j6KB7oF1D4 pic.twitter.com/WQyvUFj5lY

It hasn’t been in the news but other groups in red states are ramping up chaos.
A fight nearly broke out between Antifa & a man outside the YMCA in Santee, SD. #Antifa came to express solidarity w/a man accused of exposing himself to a girl in women’s locker room. The videographer was then assaulted by Antifa. Vid by @photoswitherik:pic.twitter.com/n6xn80r8PW
