Families with children and protesters of all ages gathered in the park starting around 11 a.m., with a bouncy castle, face painting, a mat with Legos, and food and coffee stations set up to service the crowd.
At around 11:30 a.m., a short rally was held with speakers including Belkis Terán (mother of slain forest defender Manuel ‘Tortuguita’ Paez Terán), ‘Cop City Vote’ referendum petition drive organizer Dr. Mariah Parker and Lorraine Fontana, a longtime Atlanta lesbian feminist activist who was controversially arrested two days earlier in a Home Depot parking lot during a protest demanding the corporation cut ties with the Atlanta Police Foundation.
Fuck those piece of shit cops cutting down a nice forest to build an ugly lifeless concrete square to train more potential Judge Dredd pieces of shit.
Honestly, Judge Dredd had more oversight.
