ATLANTA — The home of an Alabama construction executive was targeted and vandalized last week, authorities said, apparently due to his company’s ties to Atlanta’s planned police and fire training center.
Vandals targeted the Birmingham-area home of M. Miller Gorrie, the chairman of Brasfield & Gorrie, which is a primary contractor for the training center set to be built across 85 acres just outside Atlanta city limits in DeKalb County. The company confirmed Gorrie’s house was targeted, and police said they have opened a criminal investigation.
The incident marked the latest escalation in the saga over the training center since the City Council approved it last year. Far-left activists have vowed to use extreme — and sometimes violent — tactics to pressure those linked to the facility to cut ties with the effort.
