ATF raids Community Activists home days before thanksgiving

Community activist and 2 amendment advocate Mark Manley, commonly known as Mark Choppa, house was raided at 4:12 am on 11/21/2024 by the ATF. The house was occupied by his two daughters Zena and Zarah, his son Akilez, his wife, and himself. While the victims were sleeping, The ATF violently entered the property aiming fully equipped rifles at the victim and his family. Flash bangs were used upon entering, Mr. Manley, his daughters and his 15 year old son were handcuffed while the house was being dismantled, breaking cameras that were there to record for safety, breaking down his sons bedroom door shattering glass everywhere, police dogs were defecating around the house, leaving the house in shambles. The warrant was supposedly apart of a long ongoing investigation attempting to find Mr. Manley with illegal firearms/machine guns which nothing recovered was illegal. Mr. Manley is a law-abiding citizen. Mr. Manley is a youth advocate that teaches deescalation, conflict resolution, all while hosting family oriented events that promotes violence prevention in the community. Mr. Manley is now a full time teacher, where he also coaches the girls flag football team, Mr. Manley has been a pillar within his community and an exceptional role model to the youth. Since this incident, him and his family are left with legal fee’s, house repairs, therapy for the children who are traumatized after having fully automatic weapons swarmed in their face. We are asking for any donations that could help restore any normality in Mr. Manley and his family’s daily life.
