What Does the DA Care About

For John, BLUF:  The Cityr of Atlanta seeems to have a District Attorney who is not much interested in Domestic Tranquility.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

District Attorney Recuses Her Office From Prosecuting Atlanta Domestic Terrorists

From PJ Media, by Reporter Chris Queen, 26 June 2023, 2:28 PM.

Here is the lede plus two:

Authorities have arrested more than 50 domestic terrorists who ravaged metro Atlanta over the past several months trying to stop the construction of a public safety training center just outside the city.  These thugs, who are aligned with Antifa and tied to one of Stacey Abrams’ groups, shot at a Georgia state trooper, did damage to construction equipment, torched a police car, and damaged a historic building in midtown Atlanta.  They also targeted the offices of the contractors in charge of the project and allegedly booby-trapped a popular park, and members have reportedly protested at church services where contract employees were worshiping.

You can read my extensive coverage of the situation here, complete with links to all my articles, but suffice it to say that it’s going to take a while to move these suspects through the court system.  And now, authorities have one less venue to handle the prosecution.

DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston announced on Friday that she is recusing her office from the prosecution of these Antifa goons.  WSB-TV reports that Boston released a statement that she will “withdraw her office from the prosecution of all current cases related to the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.”

If you can't count on your local District Attorney you are in big trouble.  Selective prosecution is a destoryer of civil soociety.  And, if it is like this case, where the DA seems to be siding with the anti-Police faction, one can be excused for wondering if local goveernment has fallen apart.
