An anarchist manifesto was published by "Abolition Media" claiming credit for attacks on homes of two "statist bureaucrats" in Asheville, North Carolina. The claimed dates of the attacks are June 6th, 2024, and June 16th 2024.
The extremists disabled the vehicles at the homes of their targets and graffitied a circle-A and "No Bid" onto the cars. The FBI list the circle-A as a domestic terrorist symbol. The extremist explicitly states that these attacks were an act of intimidation to cancel a "business improvement district" seen as an act of gentrification.
"The individuals seeking to implement the business improvement district have names and addresses, along with their state counterparts in local government. These adversaries are not theoretical, not symbolic, but material. We strike to exploit their vulnerabilities. We strike to spread cracks in the spectacle of social peace, firmly committed to widening and exasperating the polarization between class antagonisms. We strike… 'because we are for the immediate destructive attack against structures, individuals, and organizations of Capital and the State.' – Alfredo Bonanno"
