Some states have "two-party consent" laws, requiring consent from both participants in a conversation before recording it.

Georgia is not one of those states. In Georgia (and most other states), it's legal to record a conversation in which you are a participant without the consent of the other party.

(Even in two-party consent states, special considerations may apply when recording police officers and other public officials.)

Beat the living shit out of that reich wing piece of shit for attacking you.

I hope the kid does press charges!

with you punks? I'm lying to you - and you actually have the guts to try to record it? Have you NO respect!?"

that asswipe is likely to get more vote for being a total prick and physically assaulting someone who asks tough questions.

I hope the student sues him.
