No one was injured and the mayor added that authorities don\u2019t believe the incident was isolated.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThey stated &#8216;We are vengeful wingnuts with nothing left to lose,&#8217;\u201d Dickens said about the group that claimed responsibility for the attack. \u201cI want to urge the people of Atlanta to be vigilant.

Activists have been protesting against the facility for over a year.<\/p>\n<p>Three different contractors who are committed to building the training center were hit with vandalism over the weekend. One contractor\u2019s tires were slashed at their residence, another\u2019s home was significantly vandalized, and graffiti was used to intimidate at another location.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cCollectively, these have been some of the most significant attacks on public safety in our city, and in our nation over the past year,\u201d Dickens said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mayor Dickens said the group orchestrating the attacks is on \u201cborrowed time\u201d and vowed to prosecute all those involved to the fullest extent of the law.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed!
