Some kind of left wing extremist compound has been established in southern Atlanta

They are throwing explosives at police and trying to set off IED type incendiary devices.
Not every environmentally conscious.

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.
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.
Police also responded to reports of an incendiary device found on nearby Key Road that did not ignite. In a Tuesday press conference, Atlanta Police Department Assistant Chief D. Schierbaum said that police had been at the property that day to escort construction personnel through the site when the attack began.
Not every environmentally conscious.

If this was a right wing group, Biden would be holding a press conference over it and calling for more legislation. But, these are their people so they'll remain silent as always

The history of this particular land is deeply scarred. In the 1800s shortly after the land was stolen from Muscogee Creek peoples, it was used as a plantation. In the early 1900s, a prison farm was opened where inmates were forced to perform unpaid agricultural labor, marking the rebranding of slavery into for profit prison labor. The Atlanta Police Department currently uses this hallowed ground as a firing range.
This forest is at risk of destruction as the police and Hollywood make plans to pave over Atlanta’s largest remaining green space.
The Atlanta Police Department seeks to turn 300 acres of forest into a tactical training compound featuring a mock city. This project was recently announced to the shock of community members who had been given no opportunity to weigh in on the proposal. The entire process has been shadier than the forest itself.
Intrenchment Creek is an existing public park adjacent to the Prison Farm. Dekalb County seeks to swap this land with Blackhall Studios, a major film production company. Blackhall wants to clear cut 170 acres of forest to develop into an airport and erect the largest sound stage in America. This project would cement Atlanta as the new Hollywood, making the cost of living in our city outrageous.

A compound? It's like a burned out truck and a pile of scrap wood.

It's some kind of environmental terrorist group. Like some rural militia from the movies. Except with more pink hair and more nipple piercings.

Two rednecks with a bottle of moonshine would run those pussies out of there in about 10 minutes

in other news, right- wing militias have been seen headed to the same spot. Officials say they don't know why.

Since they are white, they will be labeled as "alt right".

My 5 year old would wreck shop with his single shot .410 against that Denver Antifa group

I remember some Environmental group came to BR couple of years ago and set up shop behind LDEQ downtown to protest a pipeline. They had a band and massive party. Left over 1000 lbs of garbage behind.
