At least eight far-left extremists have been arrested after they allegedly threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at Atlanta police responding to an ongoing protest in forested area where a new police and EMS training facility will be built.
The group, who have dubbed themselves the "forest defenders," have set up camp on the grounds, which are set aside for the 85-acre project, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Atlanta police said that a number of illegal structures had been built on the property, which is owned by the city.
Far-left extremists & #Antifa from across US have been going to Atlanta to support an occupation at a construction site for a future police training academy. They've created barricades & hurled firebombs at responding police. Comrades have carried out violence in solidarity. pic.twitter.com/pz4sHNHFu1

On Tuesday, activists allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail into the construction site, which burst into flames just yards away from where three officers were standing, according to Fox News. The fire department responded just moments later to put out the blaze.

It's almost like the marxists are moving their operatives into place for the 'summer of rage'
Just shoot them.
The Ga. citizens need to get ready to help law enforcement squash any civil unrest that occurs in southern Atlanta, this spring and early summer. Make sure your carry permit is in order and be ready.
This must be the white supremacists the dems keep ranting about.
Good tell them all to come then call in an air strike
Good idea, get them all in one target zone.
How about hanging the protester criminals on the trees they are trying to destroy! I am sure the trees won't mind.
Better yet, give them the JAB. They support the JAB anyway, so just tell them in order to stay they have to get JABBED and if they already got the JAB tell them they have to take a booster. In time the Graphine Oxide will do the job for us.
