Tom Jurgens participated in attack that damaged proposed police training center in Atlanta
A staff attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-wing organization that publishes a "hate map" targeting conservative groups, is among the agitators arrested on domestic terrorism charges for rioting at a proposed police training center in Atlanta.
Authorities arrested Tom Jurgens after the attorney joined more than 30 other black-clad activists who used Molotov cocktails to destroy construction equipment at the construction site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.

Hang a “short eyes” tag on him when he hits the pen. The inmates make sure his time in the cross bar hotel is interesting.
Convicted and loses law license. And that he is required to daily showers. And the soap is always on the floor.
The rest are in jail but he got a $5k bail so he is out.
