It turns out the Atlanta terrorists are largely children of immense privilege.
Take, for example, the rather evil-looking Francis Carroll (whose name WSB misspelled below), the guy who allegedly lit a police cruiser on fire Saturday night.
Carroll hails from Kennebunkport, Maine — yep, the same Kennebunkport that is home to the Bush family compound. And we all know that towns with compounds are always fancy. He’s the scion of a multimillion-dollar family that owns a yacht, and he lived in his parents’ mansion before coming to Atlanta to wreak havoc.
Over at the New York Post, Andy Ngo notes that Carroll “was among six people arrested and charged with domestic terrorism, aggravated assault and other crimes on Dec. 13 following a string of property attacks around the area, a carjacking and assaults on officers. They were all bailed out by activists who crowdfunded their legal defense using Twitter.”
And then there’s Serena Hertal. The Idaho native is a graduate of $82,000-a-year Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif. How has she made use of that high-dollar education? By facing charges of domestic terrorism, aggravated assault, and criminal trespass in Atlanta.
How about Ivan James Ferguson? The 23-year-old Nevada native is a clarinetist who performed with orchestras up and down the West Coast before throwing it all away to interfere with the safety of a city two thousand miles away. Ferguson studied at the swanky San Francisco Conservatory of Music, which should serve him well in jail.
Meet Emily Kathryn Murphy. The native of Gross Isle, Mich., doesn’t quite have the posh upbringing of some of these other terrorists, but at age 37, she does have the life experience to know better. However, she had a high-ranking role in Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Project” organization, which served as her gateway drug ...

They’d almost have to be.
Children of rich are the ones who get indoctrinated in colleges and universities................
There was one who was from Decatur. Sorry I don’t remember his name.
Plus they have infinite time on their hands as they don’t need to work. As is often said, “Idle Hands Are the Devil’s Workshop.”
And who else could afford travel to all these hotspots?.................
I hope they enjoy their new accommodations...lots of gangs to welcome their lily white asses.
So were Marx and Engels.
Well, if he's convicted I hope he gets a harsher sentence than the college instructor in Portland. She threw a Molotov Cocktail into a police SUV with 5 officers inside and was charged with 5 counts of attempted murder. I don't know what offense she was eventually convicted of, but her sentence was 33 HOURS of community service.
Ludwig Von Mises wrote a classic on the topic of why children of privilege become left wing crazies:

The short version: The children fail to live up to the standards of their family—and then strike out in anger.
Instead of honestly assessing their short-comings and seeking to improve themselves they take the “short cut” and start blaming “the system”.
Hey, fair is fair right? 🙄
lighten up Francis
If I were the judge, I’d be tempted to sentence these little snots to hard labor.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
” . . . Local and state authorities need to root out these terrorists, prosecute them . . .”
same-same as the 60’s and it’s has been ever thus...
Yes they were all encouraged and empowered to go into black communities and burn them to a cinder.
It's all in the name of equity you know and rich white progressives have a mandate to manage those peoples of color who are not as evolved and and lack basic intellectual capacity to take care of themselves.
We could ask Gyorgy Schwartz that question.
Or Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg and Klaus Schwab, for that matter.
“ I hope they enjoy their new accommodations...lots of gangs to welcome their lily white asses.”
Yankees to boot. They’re gonna be real popular down in Fulton County jail.
They would rather have the death sentence because hard labor would Shirley kill them.
