Description

Money-laundering charges are being dropped against a bail fund swept up in an unprecedented case involving 61 people accused of a criminal conspiracy while protesting against the controversial Georgia police training center known colloquially as “Cop City”. Deputy attorney general John Fowler unexpectedly told Fulton county superior court judge Kimberly Esmond Adams and attorneys for several of the case’s defendants in a hearing this week that he was dropping charges underlying 15 of the 18 counts included in the Rico, or racketeering, indictment. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the history of the crackdown against the Stop Cop City activists and why this move should be welcomed by anyone who believes in civil liberties.

First responders. The "first response" is sadly often violence ".

No need to actually put these people in jail. “The process is the punishment.”

The Gov doesn’t create Laws that won’t be used against us.

The crime was organized, trespassing, destruction of construction equipment, and the rioting all on video.
