Atlanta's Cop City "done" and expected to open Jan 2025 just in time for Trump
Years of heavy fighting prevented Cop City from opening in 2023 or 2024 but officials are now claiming to be "putting finishing touches on it" to open in the first quarter of 2024. APD is probably licking their lips about using it to train for assaulting protesters and storming people's homes with Trump taking power.
For years the chant was "if you build it we will burn it" and over and over again tough fighters did exactly that. Again and again equipment at the site went up in flames. The fires then spread nationwide to other construction sites involving the same contractors, the same equipment rental companies, or even the same investors. Even a Bank of America building and a movie studio were incinerated during this midlevel insurgency.
The enemy however committed themselves to finishing the project at any price. Their crackdowns on publicly visible protesters took place without any limitations imposed by any law whatsoever. For all this power they nearly lost ALL their concrete contractors, which would have forcibly terminated the project barring use of the US Army Corps of Engineers to pour the concrete. In the end however this courageous and inspiring insurgency appears to have been simply overpowered.
There is however one silver lining: it has taken so much police resources to defend the site that it has weakened APD everywhere else. They were forced to intensively fortify the site while it was quite literally built under fire.
This has taken a lot of cops off the street. Due to the "if you build it we will burn it" promise, this defense will probably have to continue for the entire duration of Cop City's existance. Thus, the project could end up tactically doing the same job as anarchists locking up an identical number of cops in the basements of squats! APD may have won a pyrric victory at Weelaunee Forest, and if so Tortuguita's spirit shall have the last laugh.
