    You can find the indictment online at the link posted above. It goes pretty deep into how the prosecutors understand anarchism. There’s definitely an ideological bent to the prosecution, but the things they’re being indicted over are arson, destruction of private property, and a host of illegal means of preventing the construction of Cop City. Still…the prosecution is clearly extremely concerned with misrepresenting anarchism as a political ideology.

      these are things maybe like, three people out of all the people being indicted are actually guilt of. the Georgia state government does not deserve your benefit of the doubt on these being “good” prosecutions when they just arrested people for running a bail fund like two months ago.

        I’m not defending the indictment, I’m explaining the crimes with which they’re being charged. Being accused of a crime doesn’t mean they’re guilty. It just means those are the crimes the state elected to charge them with. An important distinction.
