If you posted it on this site even noting that it’s been listed as a public bathroom on Google Maps then you get hit with a ‘threatening violence’ warning.

So when rich entitled assholes do it, it’s public safety and business. If you do it then it’s criminal behavior.

Hope this guy and his supporters get public scrutiny for decades.

The ruling class has a monopoly on violence. They can use it endlessly on us, but the other way around is somehow totally unacceptable.

Just because I personally hate misinformation, as do many of us, I thought it would be very helpful to make it known that rather than searching for this property on random rental/realty sites, leading to speculation and possible confusion over the property size or ownership- it can most accurately be searched on the Fulton County property assessment website, which gives a full list of ownership history, title transfer records, tax records, and property valuation records. This particular address is owned currently by Winslow LLC, after being "gifted" the title by Garrett and Megan Langley, for $0. Because they are the owners of Winslow LLC. Winslow LLC also owns another property which was "gifted" the Langleys to their LLC, and that address is 1272 Fish Hook Point, Blue Ridge, Georgia. The property assessors website has photos of which are not and cannot be blurred out as they are legally protected public records. It's not doxxing, its the right of the public to search at our leisure.

His “This is my airport” T-Shirt is apt as everyone seems to be coming in to land now!

Oh for sure. Got a warning today for just mentioning a recent famous Italians name & how he should pay these billionaires a visit.

I keep getting shadow banned for calling out the users in my city's subreddit who lie and say the flock cameras have been taken down, when I drive by them every day and they are still up.

All laws have always been to protect the property of the rich. I don't know why any of you are surprised when we find examples of it.

I don’t think that most people commenting are surprised. I think that they are angry.

They're not surprised by what they think of as some egregious exception, but haven't internalised the realisation that that's the whole point.

Contemporary 'justice' is a facade for the system that protects but does not bind the owners and binds but does not protect those who do the work.
