Marxists Gone Wild: SPLC Lawyer Arrested for Domestic Terrorism in Atlanta
“SPLC Lawyer Arrested in Atlanta Molotov Cocktail Riot, Faces Terrorism Charges.” For once the racist, anti-Christian, Marxist hate group the Southern Poverty Law Center is being held accountable for its radical activities.
SPLC was the cited justification for targeting traditional Catholics in a recently leaked FBI memo. SPLC tries to destroy conservative and Christian organizations financially by placing them on its “hate map” of supposedly racist or otherwise objectionable “hate groups.” All decided based on a radical Marxist standard, of course.
Antifa has been terrorizing Atlanta for months now, trying to stop the construction of a police training center. In the most truly hypocritical way, Antifa are claiming they are trying to stop the militarization of police while themselves committing all kinds of violence, vandalism, and even attempted murder. A state trooper was wounded in January when Antifa opened fire on him in the wooded area where the training center is supposed to be constructed. “The group has also descended on the offices of the contractors in charge of the project and members have reportedly invaded church services where contract employees were worshiping. On his radio show on Thursday, Erick Erickson spoke with a caller who claimed that the group was digging pits in the woods and lighting brush fires in the hopes that firefighters would fall into the pits,” PJ Media reported Jan. 19.
Yes, Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization. And this isn’t the first time the SPLC’s “hate map” has spurred attempted terrorism.
“[The Daily Signal, Tyler O’Neil, March 6] A staff attorney at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-leaning civil rights group notorious for branding mainstream conservative and Christians nonprofits ‘hate groups,’ was arrested Sunday on terrorism charges, with police saying he took part in a violent riot where agitators threw rocks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police at a training center near Atlanta.
According to DeKalb County Jail records, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Sunday arrested Thomas Webb Jurgens…Tom Jurgens has worked as a staff attorney at the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2021 [he’s also white, by the way, like so many Antifa terrorists]…Authorities detained 35 people Sunday, charging 23 with domestic terrorism, following the riot. Jurgens’ name appears on the list.
‘On March 5, 2023, a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers,’ Atlanta police reported Sunday. ‘They changed into black clothing and entered the construction area and began to throw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police officers’…
As I explain in my book ‘Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,’ the SPLC took the program it once used to bankrupt organizations associated with the Ku Klux Klan and weaponized it against conservative groups, partially to scare donors into ponying up cash and partially to silence ideological opponents…Self-described antifascist operatives, such as Megan Squire, reportedly feed data to SPLC analysts.”
It wouldn’t be at all surprising if SPLC were secretly working with Antifa. Perhaps that’s why Jurgens was there? But one thing we can say for sure—the SPLC lawyer was just putting into practice what SPLC tacitly encourages with its daily work: politically-fueled domestic terrorism.
