On Friday, DeKalb County, Ga., CEO Michael Thurmond issued an executive order closing the popular 140-acre Intrenchment Creek Park after someone discovered booby traps hidden in various places in the park. The traps, which included boards with spikes sticking out of them hidden in the grass and along the trails, appear to have been designed to hurt families who enjoy the park throughout the week.
The order closes the park until further notice, presumably to give the county time to find and clear all the traps.

Intrenchment Creek Park is near the construction site of a public training safety complex that the City of Atlanta is building. Domestic terrorists aligned with Antifa and Stacey Abrams’ New Georgia Project have disrupted activity, harrassed contractors, and committed acts of violence at the site for over a year, including a shootout with police that left an Antifa thug dead and a Georgia State Trooper injured in January.
“We know that there are dangers that have been discovered in this area and we are afraid that there might be other hidden traps that will not only injure and maim, but can literally become deadly for small children and pets and others,” Thurmond said at a press conference on Friday.

The domestic terrorists are upset that Thurmond didn’t give them access to the press conference — mainly because he’s not an idiot and knows that the Antifa goons would only disrupt the presser and create even more havoc than they’ve already caused.

No, you punks, the park is Intrenchment Creek Park, no matter how many cutesy and downright false commie names you want to give to landmarks in the area.
“Any unauthorized person could face charges such as criminal trespassing. Unauthorized vehicles will be towed and impounded,” reports WSB Radio. “Additionally, anyone caught defacing signs prohibiting public access, could also face prosecution.”
Earlier this month, authorities arrested 23 people — the vast majority of whom were from nowhere near Atlanta — and charged them with domestic terrorism after a “peaceful protest” turned violent and destructive.
Here’s a chronological review of what has happened at the former prison farm where the city wants to build a facility that trains police to better serve the community:

Good for Thurmond and DeKalb County for standing up for the community far more than the thugs who claim to represent “the people.” Hopefully, the city of Atlanta is doing the same thing. We need to stop these carpetbagging domestic terrorists from destroying this part of the metro area and sabotaging the city’s attempts to create better police, fire, and medical personnel for the community.
This needs to end definitively and end now.
