As you know, there was a “fiery but mostly peaceful protest” in Atlanta last night, and six people were arrested:
The misdemeanor charges include: rioting, pedestrian in a roadway, willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer and unlawful assembly.
The felony charges include: second degree criminal damage, first degree arson, interference with government property and domestic terrorism.
Other than being Antifa, all of those who were arrested had something in common: NONE of them were from Atlanta, and only one was even from Georgia:
Not a single Antifa rioter arrested in Atlanta last night is from Atlanta

If the media’s looking for an angle, a good one has been pointed out:
Hard not to notice that all of these people are White and from somewhere other than Atlanta, but chose to travel to a predominantly minority neighborhood to wreak havoc while also demanding less policing for those who actually live there. https://t.co/oNtwluNYIv

As is often the case, at least one of the rioters arrested is from an affluent family and doesn’t live anywhere near the area where he was causing trouble:
BREAKING: One of the suspects arrested at the Atlanta attack by #Antifa is Francis Carroll, who was out on bail for domestic terrorism from an arrest last month at the autonomous zone. He's been charged w/terrorism again, arson & more. He's from a multi-millionaire Maine family. https://t.co/djeVljbXi6 pic.twitter.com/Oa9h3BR0UZ

At least Atlanta didn’t roll out the welcome wagon for these rioters like the local leadership tends to do in places like Portland.
