What the indictment reveals is nothing less than the full-throated criminalization of social solidarity and political dissent.
Despite the summerlong focus on using the legitimate government process of collecting and submitting signatures for a referendum, the new RICO indictment paints the Stop Cop City movement as a coordinated criminal enterprise of “anti-government anarchists.” This description of the movement is skewed.
Goods to further living. Gloves. Food. In the eyes of the state of Georgia, these are a criminal’s tools, part of a vast racketeering conspiracy. And to film police responses to these efforts to promote community and survival, or to complain that such conduct is constitutionally protected, perversely becomes evidence that these acts are themselves insidious. In the government’s eyes, the dissenting political views are the heart of the criminality.
