"Massive RICO Indictment Targets Over 60 Atlanta Training Center Activists"

Over 60 activists, mainly associated with the Defend the Atlanta Forest group, have been indicted on RICO charges, including domestic terrorism, arson, and money laundering, for their efforts to halt the construction of Atlanta's planned public safety training center. The indictment alleges that the group is an "anti-government, anti-police, and anti-corporate extremist organization" and aims to occupy the forested acres where the training center is to be built. The charges stem from acts of violence and property damage committed by the activists, including throwing objects and Molotov cocktails at police headquarters. The indictment also implicates the Network for Strong Communities in funding and supporting the occupation. The activists and their supporters have condemned the indictments as an attempt to silence dissent and intimidate protesters.
