The application of racketeering and anti-terrorism laws against those engaged in peaceful protest or civil disobedience represents a big step towards authoritarian rule. Even without Trump as president, red states are undermining the Constitution and fundamental civil rights by making almost any form of protest subject to draconian penalties. The time for resistance is now!

Define peaceful…”some protesters threw fireworks and Molotov cocktails, setting equipment ablaze.”

I don't see how throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks and burning construction equipment is engaging in peaceful protest.

The sad thing is that an overwhelmingly "blue" city like Atlanta is going along with this authoritarian agenda. There are lots of ways in which living in a "red state" impacts Atlantans... but these RICO prosecutions are not one of them. We need to hold leaders accountable and make sure they are in step with the culture and values of our city...
