If Fox News and CNN* are both covering it as a bunch of agitators were arrested doing bad stuff ... must be something to it.

At least 23 people face domestic terrorism charges after they were arrested Sunday amid violent protests at the site of a planned law enforcement training facility in Atlanta dubbed "Cop City" by opponents who claim it would propagate militarized policing and harm the environment.

Seriously. They apparently arrested one of the lawyers from the SPLC too. I think he’s claiming to be a “neutral observer”.

Since the Atlanta Solidarity Fund will "never condemn" folks protesting earnestly, I wonder when they are going to step up and provide bail for Jan 6 political prisoners?
Since this has been deemed domestic terrorism, I wonder when the concert organizers and/or performers are going to be investigating foe "inciting" the violence?
No? Neither case?
Hmmmmm.... sounds like a double standard to me.
For the record (and I am on record multiple times on RP) I do not support the riots of Jan 6 - and I do not support these riots either. I also think the pursuit of the Donald and others for "inciting" the violence is ridiculous - and it would likewise be ridiculous for the concert.
I raise the above hypotheticals to highlight hypocrisy. My number one crusade is for truth and honesty. But my number two crusade is against hypocrisy.

I realize this is sarcasm and a confirmation of the hypocrisy, but you bring up a good point. All of these events were horrible and to accuse Trump of inciting violence calls every politician into the mix for enabling, funding, and supporting any of these events. All of these people think this is OK... Why? Seems to me that politicians turned a blind eye to the many riots, attacks on government buildings, takeover of certain blocks in cities, and then all the sudden a bunch of very stupid people break into and trash Congress, possibly thinking politicians would turn a blind eye there too. Each time we are not consistent in the application of the law, this is what happens.

SFC Casey O'Mally I'm with you on the hypocrisy front -- there's a reason the NCO creed has the phrase "I will be fair and impartial..."
