Georgia prosecutors have indicted 61 individuals under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, for their alleged participation in the #StopCopCity movement and for, as they put it, promoting “virulent anarchist ideas.”
They are using the claim that this is all ideologically-driven in order to charge them as co-conspirators. One person in a protest burns a trash can, and you claim they were all ideologically in support of that as members of the same “criminal organization” and charge them under RICO laws.
