I know, this isn’t what Atlanta does. We’ve lived with diversity for a long time, and many embrace it. When racial unrest has come up before, like with Ferguson, we didn’t really feel it here.

this is different. Our Mayor was on the TV tonight telling the protesters to go home. She‘s not giving them space to destroy. We’ll see how it goes.

first time I’m carrying in my home and in my bed.

Growing up there, I remember being told more than once that the only color that matters in Atlanta was green.Money. Color was never an issue, people got along. That's what is so sad. Growing up and coming of age there, there was so much "getting along with each other" it wasn't funny. Flossie would sing the Varsity menu to everybody-when he died Atlanta held what amounted to a state funeral for him. Everybody attended, black white. It was respect for a man who entertained millions. We'd go into Mr. V's figure 8 club as 18-19 year olds (black club) and blacks would pop up at the 688 (white, punk club). The 40 watt club (famous Athens GA club) was always mixed. Nobody cared, everybody came for the music. Color was irrelevant. When I moved away I was shocked at the racism in other places; never came across it back home.
Sad.

Did you watch the video of the riots in Atlanta where the thugs smashed the windows of McCormick & Schmicks restaurant? They all ran in there, grabbed bottles of booze from the bar, and ran out. When that was gone, some started talking food, others ran out with chairs and wall art. I was just dumbfounded. What are you going to do walking around with a restaurant chair??
I wouldn't even entertain the thought of looting unless I was literally starving and then I would only take food. I read they looted a Great Clips. Imagine making off with a curling iron and a bottle of Paul Mitchell. What a haul! (rolls eyes)

If you want to get the Marxist mash head response to what happened here is the link to a 33 minute video about what happened. By the way, Portland has been having riots since November of 2016. Wheeler just lost his election bid to be voted back in for mayor. Seriously, here is living proof of why this shit happens.


PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland's mayor Ted Wheeler has declared a state of emergency for Portland after riots damaged numerous businesses and public buildings Friday night and into Saturday morning.
The mayor also enacted a curfew that begins Saturday night at 8 p.m. and continues until 6 a.m. Sunday morning. The curfew means all travel is prohibited on public streets or in public places in Portland during

What a perfect video. Obviously some cops are not taking the stand down orders seriously.
I gotta love my home team. They let people throw their baby fits but you better mind the line in the sand. Watch so much pepper spray fly the ground was wet when people tried to topple the fence the cops were behind was a highlight of my night.

Wisconsin National Guard called to Milwaukee, to support local law enforcement amid protests

Posted 1:39 pm, May 30, 2020, by FOX6 News,

MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin National Guard has been called to Milwaukee to assist local law enforcement in response to “agitators” that have disrupted otherwise peaceful protests following the death of George Floyd, Gov. Tony Evers announced on Saturday, May 30.

The assistance comes at the request of Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales, Mayor Tom Barrett, Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.

The governor authorized 125 members of the National Guard to be immediately used by local law enforcement in response to the agitators. Guard members may not be used to impede the ability of people’s peaceful protests or interfere with the media’s ability to report on these activities.

Gov. Evers and Barrett issued the following statement:

“It is critical that people are able to peacefully express their anger and frustration about systemic racism and injustice, in Milwaukee, the State of Wisconsin, and our Nation. This limited authorization of citizen soldiers from the Wisconsin National Guard will help protect people who are exercising their First Amendment rights and ensure the safety of the public.”

Morales says the protests — which formed peacefully on Friday afternoon, May 29 — turned violent around 11:30 p.m. The result left more than one dozen businesses damaged.

A Milwaukee police officer suffered a gunshot injury during civil unrest near 2nd and Locust early Saturday, May 30. The incident happened around 3:30 a.m.

didn't trump say that traveling from 1 state to another to participate in a crime is a federal beef?

arrest everyone and drag out the charges etc.. several days

be very thorough

confiscate any and all vehicles belonging to these out-of-staters who have been arrested,

if the vehicle is in the area of the 'festivities'

make it cost real money and time

so they cant 'riot hop'

Well, here in Fayetteville, NC they are shutting Skibo Rd in the area of All American Parkway between Walmart at Yadkin Rd. to Cross Creek Mall. That is just a little over a mile from us. Ammo sales have been brisk. They shut down the Walmart. The manager of another store in that area just came in looking for shotgun shells.

We are not anticipating any problems here at the store.

Did I mention I have an M-60? Bwahahaha

WTF?
This should have been a city handled problem.
Why in hell would people in Germany care?
It's not even their country. They live under a totally different political system than the USA.
This whole event is a New World Order driven event.
Why would people in other countries care about one single crook getting killed in another country?
This is a NWO driven event. I have no doubt.
