On September 16, 2017 anarchist, anti-fascist, engineering student, and queer activist Scout Schultz was shot and killed by police on Georgia Tech campus in Midtown Atlanta. Two days later, a small revolt took place following a vigil on campus in which mourners clashed with police and burned a police cruiser. In the days to follow, law enforcement from across the city coordinated a sophisticated campaign of repression against the friends and loved ones of Scout, dragging people out of classrooms, and arresting people at their homes.
This harassment eventually drove Scoutβs ex-partner Dallas Punja to take their own life, as well as Kirby Jackson, who was arrested and charged for their participation in the revolt. We documented some of this repressive sequence as it was unfolding, a small contribution to help provide sense to a confusing and painful moment.
In March 13, 2020 District Attorney Paul Howard decided he would not press charges on Officer Tyler Beck, who still works for the Georgia Tech police department.

Nearly eight out of 10 of young Britons blame capitalism for the housing crisis and two-thirds want to live under a socialist economic system. How did that happen?
