At least she didn’t call it “gun violence” like Lightfoot did. It’s not “gun violence”, it’s “community member violence”. And everyone knows (but of course can’t say out loud) which community members we’re talking about.

" . . . these aren’t police officers shooting people on the streets of Atlanta, these are members of the community shooting each other . . ."

"...fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets in the city and you shot and killed a baby."

I give the mayor a little credit for trying, but this language makes the problem very clear. Only one group of people in this country views murders committed by criminals as friendly fire among "members of the "community." The rest of us view criminals as the enemy.

Is the Atlanta Mayor just now noticing that most of the killings in her city (and all over the country) are not being done by police officers?

“Secoriea Turner was shot and killed last night, and it was not by the hands of police officers,” Bottoms said. “It was by the hands of a coward, cowards, who are still out and about in our community."

How many social workers and community advocates are you going to assign to catch those cowards, Ms. Mayor?

Who owns the media?

That’s all we really need to know, and why the media has such bias.

People tend to believe what they have rammed down their throats. But this has been done to a Boy That Cried Wolf degree by the media. The media has lower favorability ratings than Congress...

“...the atrocity committed for no good reason”

Sounds like the first cousin of “senseless violence.”

Message to the Mayor and DA: The cops were keeping a lid on those areas of town that are so violent now, until you both threw the gate wide open to thugs with your destruction of the police department. You asked for it, you got it.

“They say black lives matter. You killed your own. You killed your own this time,” — Secoriya Williamson, father of the murdered girl

While I sympathize with Mr. Williamson and his horrible grief, “this time” suggests it is a rare event. Mr. Williamson seems to be woefully out of touch with the decades-long horrendous black-on-black murder rate throughout the country.

"Atlanta Mayor Drops Reality Bomb: It’s Not Police Shooting up Communities, It’s Community Members"

How refreshing--and encouraging--for an elected official to speak the TRUTH--the unvarnished TRUTH--TRUTH for its own sake.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms deserves and shall receive the praise of all decent people everywhere and for all time for this--seemingly simple but in fact heroic--act!

Too bad the so-called journalists of the MSM and most public figures lack the intelligence--and decency--to follow her example!

The media doesn’t recognize these deaths, too concerned with Confederate Flags at peaceful rallies.

Kayleigh: “I was asked probably 12 questions about the Confederate flag... I didn’t receive one question on the deaths in our country this weekend... I didn’t receive one question about five children who were killed.”

Think we’ll hear the mayor of Chicago admit this any time soon? I doubt it.

“It was by the hands of a coward, cowards, who are still out and about in our community.

Note the use of the word our.
