    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.

    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.
