The following article analyzes the events that took place between June 12th to July 14th at the occupation of a Wendy’s in Atlanta, the site of Rayshard Brooks’ murder by the Atlanta Police Department. Over the course of this this month, a strange in-between world formed around the burned intestines of a fast food restaurant. In it, we saw one of the most militant examples of Black struggle in the country. The exemplary character of the struggle at the Wendy’s allowed the authors to experience some of the most powerful interventions—and some of the most dangerous limitations—that American rebellion confronts today. In what follows, the authors focus on three dimensions of this conflict: the effect of Black (militant) leadership, fatalism and paranoia as constitutive conditions of the event, and the function of guns and lethal force in unfolding conflict.

#Atlanta Content Warning, Graphic content. Police shooting involved shooting of 17 year old Vincent Pruitt. Vincent's final words were "why did you shoot me?"

"This white supremacist Mike Grant from Dublin, Ca & owner of Guns Unlimited is inciting violence and threatening a Black Dublin high school student who has organized a peaceful BLM gathering scheduled for this Sunday. Mike is calling for “Oath Keepers” to show up at the gathering, encouraging them to wear vest & helmets.
What’s even more disturbing is that Mike Grant is affiliated with Alameda County Sherrif Gregory Ahern who made headlines earlier this year for his ties to racist far right groups.
Contact District 1 Supervisor Scott Haggery:
Oakland office: (510) 272-6691 Pleasanton office: (925) 551-6995 & let him know we do not take threats against Black children lightly.
Like I said recently, racism wasn’t voted out and isn’t leaving with trump."
