In an unexpected twist, 61 individuals were named in a recent indictment, shedding light on what Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr described as an extremist scheme to occupy a wooded area earmarked for a police training center outside Atlanta. At the heart of this explosive indictment is Thomas Webb Jurgens, an attorney arrested during a heated protest at the site, popularly dubbed “Cop City.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), where Jurgens served, paints him as a peaceful sentinel. Yet, the indictment alleges a deeper involvement, suggesting he was part of an organized crowd, abetting arson and domestic terrorism.
