In the early hours of November 4th, awaiting signal from a rooftop scout, we scaled the roof of the Buckhead Theatre. As two of us hauled buckets full of rotting fish-vicera and compost-sludge, another quickly undid the two hex screws holding the HVAC access panels in place. We then dumped the 25 pounds of reeking slurry into both of the theater’s air handling units, in the compartments where clean air usually reenters the building; bypassing the layers of filtration and purification. Nearby, three police cars sat idle, completely useless and oblivious.
Later that day the Buckhead Theatre would be hosting A Night in Blue, the annual fundraiser of the Atlanta Police Foundation, and a celebration of the 150 years of terror enforced by the Atlanta Police Department. If we were lucky, the event was ruined by the reeking fumes of rot. If we were less lucky, a stinking heap of a problem was dropped in the favorite theater of Atlanta’s white elite, a building owned by Robin Loudermilk: senior chairman of the APF.
Cop City stinks,
We hope you enjoyed your night in blue 😉
