atlanta police have i.d. six of them, all but one are from out of state. all facing several felony charges, including domestic terrorism. bring in our panel. juan williams and david, so this protest was over a combined police and fire training facility southeast of atlanta, on the old atlanta prison farm property. part is a forest, the protestors are saying don t tear down the forest. is this more, juan, about being anti-police than pro environment? you have to understand, they were occupying that territory for 18 months and the people, the people who want to construct this, including the city of atlanta wants the project there. i think they see it as a money maker and good for the city. you know, we are finally pushing them out when that violent confrontation took place when one of the protestors shot a
military assets and intelligence. sandra: do you believe we should be pressuring our nato allies to step in more as well, are we in this position? absolutely. we were beaten on the ukrainians excuse me, the germans and the french saying you have to defend yourself. if you depend on russian gas bad things would happen. the germans and the french have not invested in their own security, they should be doing this. this is first instance a european problem, it s their responsibility and it is in american s interest and do it for that reason and that reason alone. sandra: thank you for joining us on set and reacting to the breaking news. john: sounds like a good read. learning new details about the people arrested in the atlanta night of rage riots over the weekend. protestors angry over the death of an activist mobbed the streets, smashed windows, burning a police cruiser.
if they are organizing across the country and they, by the way, i don t know if you noticed this, john, they were dressed in black and they said you know what, we are going to get even for the death of the other protestor. at that point, what are they by anarchists? john: david, the point they come from out of state to stir up trouble. even if they are protesting the saving of a forest or anti-police protest, what right does a person from maine or washington state have coming into the city of atlanta to stir up trouble. goes to my point, these are disrupters who don t feel a respect for the law. and you have the law enforcement retiring and quitting in pretty serious numbers, more to the point i also made when disrupters don t fear the law because they don t think prosecutors will prosecute them and you have an entire generation of prosecutors at the
policeman. the police shoot back and the protestor is killed and then what you are seeing on the screen take place, no question they are from out of city, out of state, and it seems to me, you know, this is the extremes we see now in american politics. it s unhealthy, wrong headed and i hope they are put down. john: sounds like an area you two agree on. it is. when prosecutors won t enforce the law disrupters say we have a chance to be disruptive, and you had folks from outside the state of georgia come in and say we are the chance of us getting prosecuted are pretty small, you see this in city after city. where prosecutors won t taken forcing the law seriously, and it only emboldens the criminals and it s a criminal first, victim last mentality, that is it what you see. john: initially thought it was a home grown protest, the riots were natural atlanta
