Attorney among 23 charged with domestic terrorism in Atlanta ‘Cop City’ attack
The New York Post ^ | 03/06/2023 | Emily Crane

An attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center is among the 23 protesters who have been charged with domestic terrorism after they allegedly hurled Molotov cocktails and fireworks at a future Atlanta police training facility, cops said Monday.

Thomas Webb Jurgens, 28, was one of the nearly two dozen people detained on Sunday in what police have described as a “coordinated attack” on the still-under-construction Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — dubbed “Cop City.”

Jurgens is a staff attorney with SPLC — the left-leaning, anti-hate group, according to the State Bar of Georgia and his since-deleted LinkedIn page.

Of the 23 people slapped with domestic terrorism charges over the violent protest, Jurgens and only one other man, Jack Beaman, hail from the state of Georgia. *** A handful of protestors could be seen smirking in their mugshots released by authorities Monday afternoon.

The SPLC didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment in the wake of Jurgens’ arrest.

In total, 35 “violent agitators” were nabbed after they attacked the future site of the $90 million police training facility, cops said. ***

This begs the question, are people who are born ugly become liberal or does liberalism make people ugly?

The Southern Poverty Law Center needs to become a target of several high dollar, class action lawsuits.
They are almost as troublesome to civility as the ACLU!

I wouldn’t take that bet. He has to be convicted or plead guilty first. He’ll prob fight to the last ditch and stone wall. Got nothing to lose at this point.

Remind me of how many of Trump’s attorneys have be reported to the bar, how many have had their phones and computers taken without any charges even filed!

Ugly people choose to be communists; they feel disadvantaged in the free competition of capitalist societies, and instead of doing something to leverage their strengths they adapt a victim mentality to find more things to blame on fate, luck or others.

I count two out of twenty-three from GA. Over the past few days, the ‘protest’ leaders were telling the media that the Stop Cop City Movement was really made up of local citizens. This in spite of the fact that almost all those arrested in the past have been from out of state. New day, same results. Almost nobody local, all Antifa types from out of state in the latest arrests.

I notice that he’s the only one from Georgia. The rest are from as far away as California. Clearly an organized conspiracy.

Three of them born in the mid-70’s? How did they get this far? Wasted lives and total losers.
