Rich New Yorker among protesters arrested in Atlanta 'Cop City' violence
2023-03-08
[NYPOST] A rich-kid New Yorker is among the nearly two dozen "violent mostly peaceful agitators" charged with domestic terrorism after a protest at the site of a future Atlanta police training facility descended into chaos.

Mattia Luini, 30, and his fellow protesters are accused of carrying out Sunday’s "coordinated attack" on the under-construction Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which saw cops pelted with Molotov cocktails and fireworks.

Luini, whose late father, Ivan Luini, helped popularize high-end plastic furniture in the US,
...Mr. Luini designed cleverly gorgeous things, relatively inexpensive for high end design — which is not at all the same as affordable. He died in 2006, when our future disingenuous miscreant was 17...
was still stuck behind bars as of Tuesday afternoon, online court records showed.

His mother, Micaela Martegani, who is involved in the Big Apple’s art world,
...that sounds awfully impressive, but really she indulges herself as a head honcho and curator for an artist-oriented charity...
told The Post Tuesday that she’d only spoken to her son briefly since his arrest — and that he’d insisted the violent mostly peaceful incident was "completely random."

"We haven’t been able to talk in much detail. He doesn’t know much of what happened," Martegani said.

"(Mattia) said it was completely random. I don’t know more than that."

Luini had said he was heading to Atlanta over the weekend only to attend a concert and "protest the development of the forest," according to his mom.
The problem is that the protests are organized by Antifa, who are incapable of not causing destruction and mayhem — exactly as happened last weekend.
Police, however, say he was among those who allegedly staged an attack to protest the $90 million development of the training center — dubbed "Cop City."

It wasn’t immediately clear what Luini, who appears to have been raised in New York City, does for a living or if he still calls the Big Apple home.

His businessman father, Ivan, was president of the New York-based Kartell US — a high-end Italian furniture company that specialized in plastic design.

#8  And speaking of ideas for table lamps... and weird OTA shopping channels...

We probably should have kept cable,
But then we might not have been able
To pay all these bills
For our various ills
And repairs to this room
Where we nearly met doom
From the Molotov lamp on that table.

#7  Mattia is raised pretty well
By his plastic fantastic Kartell
And, molded by Masters
And family disasters,
Descends into liberal hell
With hordes of fake commies
To rescue poor mommies...
Blah blah... something about loot weaving a spell? Watched some old commie's Orfeo yesterday.

#6  The Feds will step in if it looks like these folks are going to be held accountable.

#4  Out of state trouble makers/terrorists, but no hysterical screeching about "Crossing state lines!"

#2  Once again, Feds do not appear to be interested in criminal events in (Red State) Georgia. Explosives, but no media coverage of ATF personnel assisting local LE. Out of state trouble makers/terrorists, but no coverage or comment from the FBI.

Given the FBI's/HLS definition and 6 U.S.C. 101.

Plus, now with firebombs being thrown, which qualifies as organized attempted murder of law enforcement personnel.

When will we see ANTI-FA and BLoM officially declared as Domestic Terrorism organizations?

Which would mean the arrests of the $$$$ backers, the radical SIG support groups, the behind the scenes LSD leadership, and confiscation/seizure of their operational assets.

So I have to ask. Is Gov. Kemp holding the GBI/GSP back from doing a clean sweep?

Because, what I saw years ago working around the GBI & Ga State Patrol (affectionately knows as aka GOD's Special People) staff.
These guys are 100% better than the Fed's and could single out an ant, in an ant pile, if needed.
