A Georgia judge says he's going to dismiss racketeering charges against all 61 defendants accused of trying to stop the construction of a police and firefighter training facility known as “Cop City."
The racketeering charges were never intended to be “real.” The consequences of interacting with America’s justice system is the punishment for acting against it. Sure the people protesting won’t be incarcerated, but the consequences of their actions will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
If you want to protest against the government, don’t do it within the “proper” channels. Stay extra-legal, stay safe, do not collaborate with law-enforcement.
