The mayor says she is done trying to negotiate with protesters after the girl's death

After a night of a dozen shootings, including one in which an 8-year-old girl was killed, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday said protesters could no longer occupy the Wendy’s where a police officer shot and killed Rayshard Brooks last month.

The girl, identified by police as Secoriea Turner, was killed not far from the scene where Brooks was shot on June 12, Atlanta’s Fox 5 reported, citing police.

Police said Turner was riding in a car with her mother and another adult when a group fired multiple times at the vehicle, hitting the girl.

I hope the parents sue the mayor for encouraging the lawlessness that led up to this death.

It’s been weeks and now she reacts after a child is killed. She is reacting based on emotion and not the rule of law.

I’m not impressed.

And a better reaction would be promising to bring the murderer of the little girl to justice and starting by arresting those involved.

What’s to negotiate in the first place?

Yep. That’s the way ALL these lib females are: ALL emotion and not a single lick of sense. They do NOT belong in any position of power and/or decision-making. They’re nothing but a ball of raw emotions....the last thing needed in a time of crisis.

“The Movement” Mayor Bottoms, you mean the bombing of the Georgia State Patrol building this 4 of July weekend in Atlanta, the shooting of a little girl, the looting, the burning and destruction in Buckhead and downtown Atlanta. That is the movement of which you speak. You mean the violent BLM, Communist Party movement that is allied with the Democrat party of which you are so fond. That movement sweetie. The movement that wants to remove American History. Keep wearing your kente cloth, worn by black West African slave traders. You are no better than those slavers Mayor Bottoms.

Notice she’s not going to negotiate with “the protestors”. Don’t want to mention BLM. Nuh-uh.

She has lost police support. It doesn’t matter how fed up she is now. You can’t fake a counterattack. She has no armed and committed forces. The police knew this violence would escalate when they were blamed and denounced. They are in no mood to now bail out these foolish politicians. When you deliver the city to the mob, you reap the whirlwind.

She speaks like Republicans used to speak.

She has more balls than any elected GOPER currently in office.

What are you talking about? The little girl is dead because of her. She's been allowing and even encouraging lawless mobs all along.

"Bottoms said during a Sunday-night news conference. “Enough is enough. If you want people to take us seriously and you don’t want us to lose this movement, we can’t lose each other.”

She is the enemy.

She's just like the Seattle mayor, down for the struggle, until the commies come to your house.

In the ens she will do squat.

You got it. The mayor of Atlanta is a coward and people died because of it. If she had cracked down on the street Marxists and thugs, this 8 year old girl would be alive today. Her death and blood are on Bottoms’ hands.

Did polling data suggest that the killing of an 8-year old could hurt her VP chances?

________________________________

It would have to be a strong willed, Constitution observing Republican woman who can hold her own up against the traitorous Congress Critters and Senate Swampies of her own party.

I voted for Palin. Unfortunately, I would have had to have McCain as the Pres for a bit. Sigh.

As for the Women’s vote. So much dark history around the right for them to vote. The male members of the species really thought they could control the inside of the ballot box. BIG MISTAKE.

As a woman I can understand the despair/frustration over women voting.

It’s like some women have a suicidal streak running in their families.

Personally, I have to hold myself back when I am hearing a woman voted for the person, not the party. And when I ask them about the person they voted for, they have nothing to say.

Mind you, the male species of this country have also voted for nincompoops. The women, though, tend to vote for evil and call it as for their own good.

An ignorant female voter who is raising children is twice a threat as her offspring often pick up her voting (or not voting) habits.

Off my soapbox, for now. :)

I hope people like her learn that it is better to prevent terrorist no-go zones in the first place. Once they exist, it is can be messy cleaning them up.
