    One there is no body cam footage of the shooting, either by the alleged perp or the police. And I don't see any footage of the arrests. But what Atlanta police did is arrest 7 people after the protest turned violent in downtown Atlanta. These arrests came after that shooting in this article. But no names were not given. If domestic terrorism charges were indicated, it will be hard to prove. I would have gone with the destruction of private property greater than $500, either third or second-degree felony with a fine and imprisonment not to exceed five years. I don't think the domestic terrorism charge is going to stick in the long run. To prove this, they have to prove that their intentions were to coerce the government while causing significant harm, they would have to prove that the government was considering abandoning the project. Since that is not going to happen and cannot be proven by all available public statements, then the domestic terrorism charge may be dropped.

    I can’t argue with any of that. DM isn’t on my trustable list.
    That said, never give white flowers to your Chinese SO. Almost learned that the hard way.

    Fake News. She is literally charged with terrorism.
    Oh sure, when they are Privileged Gentry it's "their business." When they are poor, then the child is disadvantaged hardly responsible for their own actions given the 'great oppression' within which they live their lives.
    Oh yeah, I remember now, you excuse any and everything done by the lying outlaw slavers of Beijing.
    I didn't charge her.
    I didn't make her engage in terrorism against innocent civilians.
    She brought her rich privileged ass all the way down from up north to do all that in Atlanta.

    Further your claim that I'm anti-Chinese is fake news. The Free People of Taiwan are as Chinese as the mainlanders and funny thing, they aren't oppressing their neighbors, stealing the resources of neighboring countries, sending honeypots in to seduce our hapless congressmen like Swallowswell, bribing our vice president, operating secret police departments in the US, exporting pandemics, enslaving whole whole portions of their population and threatening their neighbors. Their chineseness is not a causative factor in this outlaw nation's lawlessness. Nice attempt at a dodge, but, it fails, again.

    And this self-imported ACAB bitch also fails: That settles it: Gun used to shoot state trooper was purchased by the shooter

    [​IMG]

    She crossed state lines to engage in her terrorism, it will be interesting to see if that is a sentencing enhancement, if not, I'm calling for more states to adopt that practice, now. Nobody is really in the mood for another year of left wing terrorists burning down US cities, attacking the innocent and destroying property.

    The vile violent Left Wing Terrorists in 'Atlanta have really done their best to create a parallel universe in which the police shot a protesters for no reason. Police immediately claimed that the protesters shot first and hit a state trooper but protesters and those associated with them have circulated claims (without evidence) that the trooper might have been hit by friendly fire. For instance:'

    Who is financing, coordinating, supplying and directing these Left Wing Terrorists?
    Who is distributing the cash and materials to them?

    'At the same time a press release claimed that police were willing to say anything in order to make this a case of self-defense:'

    Terrorists with Press Releases? In America? Really? And Innocents are attacked and cities burned in response to their public messages? No RICO prosecutions? Where are the prosecutors? Where are the dirtbags of the FBI?

    'The same groups and people have repeatedly claimed the shooter was “murdered” which seems to rely on the idea that police weren’t shooting in self-defense.'

    'But that alternative narrative created by the protesters started to fall apart when police revealed they had recovered a gun and shell casings at the scene. Suddenly the idea that this was just friendly fire among the officers didn’t add up. The narrative took another big hit when police revealed that the gun was a match for the bullet removed from the wounded trooper. It was getting harder and harder to imagine some scenario in which the protester who was killed by police hadn’t shot at them first.'

    'Today, the protester’s narrative is gone for good. Fox 5 in Atlanta is reporting the gun in question belonged to the protester who shot the trooper.'

    'So it was his gun. The bullet fired matches his gun. He shot the trooper and was killed by the police who fired back in self-defense. Did no one who had lived there with this guy know he had a gun? Some of the people who heard about this last week weren’t surprised. But they’re staying silent so the people around them can keep spreading this bogus narrative about police murdering an innocent “forest defender.” Unfortunately for them that narrative is about as accurate as “Hands up, don’t shoot!” was in the Michael Brown case.'

    Another web of lies the lying fake news whipped up to justify violent left wing terrorists burning cities, beating the innocent and destroying property in an attempt to satiate their vampiric bloodlust.

    I leave it to you to defend the terrorists.

    Some of them did not vote for the liberal government. But a smart person moves out of these liberal run hellish urban environments if they can.

    Never said it doesn't exist,. Just said that the protesters may or may not be ANTIFA. there is a difference but apparently, you cannot differentiate that. When you look at where the new training facility is going to be, it is in the middle of a forrest outside of Atlanta. And the protests started because of that, not because of something that ANTIFA is harping on about the police.

    The only reason to oppose this facility is to further a radical agenda.

    That may be, but I don't see how the charges will stick with that.

    WTH? You are not making sense here.

    No, just because they are Chinese by ethnicity or national origin does not mean they are in kahoots with the CCP. That is literally guilty by association and something that Stalin and other Communitsts used along with other brutal regimes.


    It is not a question of charging her. It has to do with our justice system and that the sins of the child do not bear any responsibility to the parents unless you can prove the parents were literally involved. The rest of your post is pure garbage. But then again, you can't tell if one is from Taiwan or China or Malaysia or Indonesia, or even Canada.

    I know she lives out of state. However, the terrorism charge and you lumping her parents in there is making your point look xenophobic at the very least, and completely naive at the very worst. She has the same rights as everyone else no matter what the charge is. And I am sure her parents may obtain a lawyer who may get her to confess to the lesser crimes that she is charged with and drop the terrorism charge.

    I understand the protester. But that was his doing and his alone. He is deceased. What I wrote was is that there was no body cam or any other footage of the incident. That is unfortunate. But you still cannot use guilty by association because one person did that. Firing at police officers is not a terrorism crime per se. It is at least attempted homicide of a law enforcement officer. A far worse charge IMO. But then again, he is deceased and the state cannot prove that they were accessories before the fact either.

    This facility was approved in 2017. It wasn't until 2020 or 2021 where the city decided to place the facility. And that is when the protest happened. Yes, there are environmental protests just as police brutality protests. But as I said, the intial protests had more to do with environmental than police.

    On top of that, the city of Atlanta is the most surveilled city in the country, more so than Washington DC and NYC. And they are heavily surveilled.

    Your claim that there was no basis for calling her a terrorist, when she is literally charged with terrorism strongly undercuts your claim to be an aficionado of garbage.

    You cannot simultaneously claim the police need more and better training, and then oppose the facility planned to accomplish exactly that.
