Buenos Aires, Argentina: Claim of incendiary attack on Argentine Federal Police car

Posted on 2023/03/12 by darknights

Insurrectionary solidarity with Alfredo.

Subversion may sleep, but it will never disappear!

The first week of February at night we set fire to a car belonging to the police brigade of the central department of the PFA. We had a list with their license plates. This “unit” always parked in Urquiza and Av. Belgrano. This action is a return to the path of attack.

It is not solidarity. It is the attack for those who are locked up, dead and clandestine. Down with 41 bis. Strength and brotherhood with Alfredo.

Strength and brotherhood to the combatant prisoners of long and short sentences.

Ours is the conviction, if not now, when !!!!!. Ours is the conviction.

Subversive delirium group. Circumstantially incendiary.

Atlanta, USA: Forest defenders destroy police outpost

Posted on 2023/03/10 - 2023/03/10 by darknights

On March 5th hundreds of forest defenders in Atlanta succeeded in destroying a police surveillance outpost at the proposed site of “Cop City.”

Defenders marched down a powerline clearing towards police set up doing surveillance by the forested site of the proposed urban warfare campus. This marked the biggest march in the forest thus far.

The scene unfolded by Intrenchment Creek and the Old Prison Farm/proposed “Cop City” site in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta – thousands had flocked to the ongoing Week of Action after police shot and killed a forest defender here in January.

Forest defenders overran the police surveillance outpost. Police retreated after crowd arrived at barbed wire fence and shot fireworks into the area.

Defenders smashed and destroyed the outpost’s remains, despite helicopter presence and sirens ringing in the distance. A security light post, police vehicle, and construction infrastructure were set on fire.

The proposed development of “Cop City” is a massive urban warfare training site to hone police ability to target and violently suppress black and brown populations in the US.

Oakland, USA: Police Vehicle Becomes Target for Arsonists

Posted on 2023/03/02 - 2023/03/02 by darknights

Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sabotaged in Downtown Oakland

Saturday, February 11th 2023 during the early morning between 1 and 3 am.
The war against the police continues in the East Bay. One Oakland Police cruiser was sabotaged in the Police Administration building parking lot, resulting in it being towed. An accomplice looked out for oncoming traffic and returning police vehicles, while the other approached the lot from the opposite direction.

Officers lazily patrolling the area were easily clocked. There was plenty of time to open the gas cap, which was unlocked to our surprise. Torn cloth soaked in lighter fluid and isopropyl alcohol was stuffed into the gas tank. It stayed lit and ignited the rest of the gas inside, causing it to burn while cops in their SUVs watched and waited for the fire department to come. This took roughly 10-15 minutes while cops sat on their asses, afraid to approach the car.

In the name Tyre Nichols and all black people who have lost their lives to the hands of the police Fuck 12

Leipzig, Germany: Spontaneous demonstration, damage and barricades in the eastern part of the city

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

We learn from the German media that on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 18, in Leipzig’s Neustadt-Neuschönefeld district, some solidarians organized and carried out a spontaneous demonstration during which about ten cars were damaged, including a car belonging to a construction company and a police vehicle. The windows of an insurance agency, advertising panels and a barricade was erected and set on fire with material taken from a construction site were attacked. A riot police vehicle, which was overtaking the scene, failed to avoid the four-pronged nails scattered on the ground by comrades and was also damaged. The banner at the head of the procession read, “VENDETTA PER ALFREDO. BOMB COPS.”

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary attack on a retired cop’s house by ‘Andreas Baader Cell’

Posted on 2023/02/26 - 2023/02/26 by darknights

We take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the house of retired cop Fotis Theodoros in Kaisariani, at 5 Manoliassas Street. We were very pleased to learn in the following days that a second retired cop lived in the same building.

The reason for this attack was the state murder of Kostas Fragoulis by the uniformed garbage of the DIAS unit. Once again, the agents of the state apparatus murder in cold blood, but this time, as last year with Nikos Sampanis, the race of the victim became the main issue in the political and social arena. We as anarchists do not need to analyse our position, it is clear. But we ought to recall that this is not a random incident but a manifestation of the wider war that is being waged unabated by the state and capitalism against the oppressed of this world and especially against those who dare to question their domination. We take a stand in this war and declare that we will walk through your homes and over your dead bodies.

<<Now it is not fitting that the flame of candles over a young grave but that whole states should be lit>> C.C.F. [Conspiracy of Cells of Fire] ( for the murder of A. Grigoropoulos)

Shortly after the murder of Kostas Fragoulis, the police released a text to all cops, explaining how to be careful and how to avoid or manage attacks either while on duty or in their homes. The attacks in Sygrou, Patras, Zografou and now here have shown once again how important our organization is and how willpower humiliates the stupid plans of the state. Here we have to mention that the target was chosen by chance and only because of its location, that is, within a stone’s throw from the YMET headquarters (riot cop unit) and apparently we approached-we left-we fled and nobody bothered us.

The 2nd main reason for the attack ( that is, apart from the targeting of the cops anyway) was, as the comrades in the attack in Zografou put it, the attack on the doctrine of “law and order” with which the New Democracy has been doing politics from the beginning and hopes to be transformed again into thousands of votes by their stooges. We don’t want to say anything else the rest is well known and well said, we prefer to put it into practice. Let the results of our actions speak!

Strength and solidarity to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike and the Italian state chooses to murder him.

Solidarity to all political prisoners.

Milan, Italy: Demonstration alongside Alfredo Cospito on 115th day of hunger strike against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment

Posted on 2023/02/15 - 2023/02/15 by darknights

Demonstration alongside Alfredo Cospito on 115th day of hunger strike against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment (Milan, Feb. 11, 2023)

Last night [Saturday, Feb. 11] demonstration in Milan alongside Alfredo Cospito against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment.

The demonstration started from Piazza XXIV Maggio attempting to reach Porta Romana, just before the end of the demonstration the rapid response units at the head of the procession deployed preventing them from continuing. The participants managed not to get blocked in the street and, defending themselves with what the street furniture offered, managed several times not to get closed by the increasingly agitated and fierce cops.

By the end of the day there were about ten detentions, now all released, a few dented cops, some Eni-Enjoy cars [vehicles of Eni’s car sharing service] damaged and shattered windows of real estate agencies, supermarkets and banks.

During the demonstration Alfredo Cospito was being transferred to San Paolo Hospital in Milan.

This morning, however, news broke that the Cassation Prosecutor’s Office in its indictment filed ahead of the hearing set for next February 24 asked to annul the decision of the Supervisory Court that had confirmed 41 bis for Alfredo.

Stay tuned for upcoming events!

Rome, Italy: Clashes and demonstration in Trastevere in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on 101st day of hunger strike

Posted on 2023/01/31 by darknights

Clashes and demonstration in Trastevere in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on 101st day of hunger strike (Rome, Jan. 28, 2023)

We publish a brief contribution on the demonstration held on Saturday, January 28 in Rome in solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito at 101 days into his hunger strike. Near the concentration in Piazza Trilussa–which lasted a few hours and from which a procession had failed to leave–after some of those present had deflected out of the encirclement, there were some clashes with the repressive forces, shortly thereafter in trouble due to finding themselves partially surrounded and the determination of comrades to hold the streets (but who did, however, manage to stop a comrade near Piazza Trilussa). After the clashes, a procession was held in the alleys of Trastevere.

At the end of the procession several dozen comrades were stopped by DIGOS, riot police, and carabinieri. All 41 people stopped during the day, who were taken to police headquarters and released without restrictions as of the early hours of Sunday 29, were charged with Article 337 c. p. (resistance to a public official). We reproduce below a brief information note released on January 29 itself.

In these days when the comrade’s health condition is rapidly and dramatically worsening, with this initiative the comrades present affirmed the importance of a presence and consequent confrontational practice to be held in the streets, in solidarity with Alfredo and in support of the hunger strike. Let us continue the struggle with anger and determination. Get Alfredo out of 41 bis!

* * *

Yesterday in Rome street fight against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment, with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike for 101 days. Police wanted to surround the protesters, remained surrounded. The celere in total confusion charged the DIGOS twice, managing to send one of them to the hospital. The piazza chief wanted to prevent a harmless procession, had two hours of wild marching through Trastevere, which resisted by barricading itself and repelling numerous charges in the alleys.

While it is true that a good part of the 41 stopped could have been avoided if it had been realized a few minutes earlier that the party was ending, this does not detract one iota from the message of anger at our comrade’s now imminent execution coming from the streets. In fact, if anything, it reinforces it.

A big thank you to all the rebels and solidarity with all those who have been charged.

Long live anarchy!

Volos, Greece: Responsibility claim for an attack on ATMs, cops and OPKE in memory of Vassilis Maggos

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

“Cops, judges, politicians have no reason to sleep soundly.” G. Michaelides

In the early hours of Saturday morning, we headed to the Eurobank bank at the junction of El.Venizelos and Iasonos streets, where 2 ATM machines were broken and then an attack was carried out on a police car and a vehicle of the OPKE, who arrived at the scene, by throwing empty bottles and stones. The above actions were taken as an act of vigilante action. We have no illusions, nor do we expect any vindication from the judicial organs of the state apparatus in the upcoming trial of the cops-torturers of Vassilis Maggos. It is time for fear to change sides. With this act we call for a generalization of the confrontational actions of the anti-authoritarian space in memory of Vassilis. We carve our confrontational path alone against rulers and their cover-up.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the ambush on the DIAS group in the area of Zografou

Posted on 2023/01/19 by darknights

FEAR CHANGES SIDE

On Thursday night 12/1 we organized and carried out an ambush against cops of the DIAS group in the area of Zografou. The way the ambush was set up and the intensity of the attack we carried out, resulted in the serious injury of a cop and the total destruction of a motorbike -only this one arrived at the scene- of this particular group. The high strength of firepower used was proportional to the impunity of this group, which already counts 2 murdered Roma in the last 16 months and dozens of incidents of “police arbitrariness”. This was a powerful response to the crescendo of police repression orchestrated by the New Democracy government, which has given the police force free rein to beat, torture and shoot in cold blood, knowing that none of them will be punished and their crimes will be covered up by the lies of journalists, the impunity of the bourgeois justice system and the cover of the political leadership.

We say to the cops in the ranks and to their superiors. For the wanton violence you have used, we will punish you with our own hands. Your colleague’s cries of despair are proof of your weakness when faced with organized forces of revolutionary violence. Panic, pain, fear, insecurity, these are the emotions we offered you during the ambush against you. Draw your conclusions from them because your sense of omnipotence ended with a bang in a dead end at Zografou. With this action we want to pass the message that with organization, planning and discipline we can hit the forces of repression by causing fear and material costs to both animate and inanimate material.

The law and order doctrine that the New Democracy government has been applying since the first moment of its election has left behind dead, wounded, tortured and raped. The constant impunity of the cops is not an accidental fact but the essence of this doctrine. The last link in a huge chain of incidents is the cold-blooded execution of the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Fragoulis, because he ‘dared’ not to pay 20 euros for petrol.
