Authorities in Atlanta are searching for the gunman who fatally shot a man on Sunday who was trying to help someone with their car at a city gas station where Secoriea Turner suffered a fatal gunshot the previous night.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Christopher Brooks, 53, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police told 11 Alive that Brooks was helping the driver jump his car at around 7:20 p.m. on Sunday.

The station reported that the Chevron station is about a block from where Rayshard Brooks was killed after a struggle with police. The area has been hit hard by protesters that set the restaurant on fire. The station reported that police believe that the shooting may have been the result of a stray bullet. Two others were injured.

Hopefully, there were social workers on standby. But how long until lawful people take back the neighborhoods?

"The area has been hit hard by protesters that set the restaurant on fire."

I'm beginning to like that use of the word, protesters. Let's stop calling them rioters. Protesters destroy property, loot, rape and murder. Protesters are violent criminals. Protesters are bad. Punish the protesters! ;D

I thought Mayor Bottoms had stamped her little stampy foot and declared this thing over.

What do you mean you can’t turn it off like a light switch?

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

I hate the misuse of “they” to indicate a single person.

It is wrong and unnecessary. The person identified as “they” is later correctly identified as “him”.

Language matters.

A stray bullet that was meant to murder someone else.

I wish they would stop calling them protesters. Marxist revolutionaries is much more accurate.

Oh Crap! Was that my bullet that went missing? I wondered what became of it.

Sorry, but that’s a lie. Peaceful protesters wouldn’t resort to arson.

Too late; that ship has sailed. I don’t like it either.

Gots to watch out for them stray bullets in dim rat cities.
Once Biden is president things will miraculously calm down.

Did the Warren Commission investigate this?

They won't. The majority of people are followers, not leaders. Most people go along to get along, which explains why our schools have been allowed to teach Marxist drivel for at least two generations. It explains why something like "cancel culture" takes root.

“They” is used to avoid having to apply an “arbitrary social construct gender label” when the subjective gender choices of a person are unknown. Language does matter, but it matters most in some forms of psychosis. And there is a lot of that going around.
