A Georgia grand jury indicted three out-of-state Antifa members for hurling firebombs at the Marietta offices of Brasfield and Gorrie, the general contractor building Atlanta's controversial police training center, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced Friday.
The grand jury charged Katie Marie Kloth, 39, Tyler John Norman, 42, and Hannah Margaret Kass, 33, with two counts of criminal property damage and arson for their May 12, 2022 attack. The trio allegedly used explosive devices and fireworks to damage the building while employees were still inside, causing hundreds of dollars in property damage.
"When it comes to fighting Antifa and keeping people safe, we won't back down," Carr said during his news conference. "This isn't Portland or Seattle. If you come to our state" to commit violence, prosecutors will respond aggressively.
The defendants allegedly struck and spray-painted fencing, windows, and walls "with hands, feet, and thrown objects," according to the indictment obtained exclusively by Fox News. All three traveled from out of state specifically to participate in the attack, Carr said.
The trio are among 61 defendants previously charged with domestic terrorism and racketeering as members of "Defend the Atlanta Forest," which Carr described as an "anarchist, anti-police, and anti-business extremist organization." The group opposes construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which they call "Cop City."
Carr directly linked the defendants to Antifa, the loosely-connected anarchist network that President Trump designated as a domestic terrorist organization in 2025. The attack represents the kind of coordinated interstate violence that federal investigators are now tracking more aggressively under the new administration.
The May 2022 firebombing targeted the offices of Brasfield and Gorrie, a major construction firm contracted to build the 85-acre training facility in southeast Atlanta. The center has faced sustained opposition from environmental activists and anti-police groups who view it as militarizing law enforcement.
Georgia's aggressive prosecution sends a clear message that the state will not tolerate the kind of Antifa violence that plagued other cities during recent years. Unlike Portland or Seattle, where prosecutors often declined to pursue serious charges against left-wing extremists, Georgia is treating these attacks as the domestic terrorism they represent.
The case also highlights how anti-police extremists are willing to cross state lines to commit violence, turning local disputes into interstate criminal conspiracies. Federal authorities are reportedly investigating the funding sources behind such coordinated attacks.
The Atlanta training center remains under construction despite the ongoing protests and legal challenges. Watch for additional indictments as prosecutors work through the broader racketeering case against all 61 "Defend the Atlanta Forest" members.
