A couple of things - Even when the sketch shows the race of the criminal (like there was going to be any doubt in Atlanta) the reporters can't help referring to them as "teens"

I can't help wondering how OK the guy is going to be with a permanent metal rod in his leg. I guess it's better than having to have his leg amputated.

The quote from the neighbor "they have it everywhere." is total BS The risk might be everywhere, but the probability increases with your proximity to section 8 housing and black neighborhoods.

And finally there is a gofundme site for people who want to help with the victim's medical bills inasmuch as he is unemployed. But I noticed that one of the other articles on this stated that the family just gotten back from vacation - not related to the shooting, but what the heck were they doing going on vacation while he was unemoployed?

Can you say for certain that it wasn't planned prior to the shooting? Kind of a petty thing to go after a shooting victim for.

Not near section 8 areas.

What isn’t mentioned in the news is the wife’s report that up to 15 thugs swarmed the house after her husband was shot. They intended to ransack tghe house like the “demonstrators” did to the Ferguson and Baltimore businesses She fled out the back door with her baby with an armed thug in pursuit.

For folks not near Atlanta, find a street address from a crime report like this and look up the property value, complete with property taxes paid annually. Not only are they paying thousands of dollars in taxes, thy can not send their kids to the public cesspool schools if they want their kids educated. The local private schools often cost more than 10,000 dollars PER YEAR for each student.

Also, see what Clark Howard has to say about how well run the City of Atlanta is compared to Sandy Springs.

Well, a lot of us have been in his employment situation. Specifically, employed in one job with health coverage and that job comes to an end. It happens all the time to folks through no fault of their own. I have been in similar situations where, not having taken time off from work (e.g., vacation) for a long time took the family on a trip to see family before beginning a new job. Fortunately, I never suffered a home invasion and wounding at the hand of YUTES during those periods where I didn’t have health insurance. This is clearly not a family of slackers...so give them some understanding and thank God that you are not in their shoes.

I read this when it first came out yesterday!

The sweet looking WHITE couple had just returned from vacation.....the father was due to start a new job.....they must have recently moved into the house because there appears to be a realtor sign outside, also a sign that says ‘crimefree’

They accosted the dad at his door on some flimsy excuse.....the dad wouldn’t let them in....so they shot him in BOTH knees.

The parents must have already taken their young son upstairs....he was already asleep
The mother ran and grabbed her second child, a baby, and ran to the back of the house and called 911
She was pursued and she ran out of the house with one of the thugs shooting at her
She begged him to not shoot her baby......he took her cellphone

it was horrible!

From Mr. Penovi: "We've got to have continued pressure on the police to come out here."

From the victim's wife: The amazing police and EMT were working on him while he was proclaiming Luke 23:34 'Forgive them Father, they know not what they have done.’

It sounds like the police went "out there" when they were called - which is what they are supposed to do. Does Mr. Penovi think the government should issue a personal police officer to every citizen?

I think the perp should be pretty easy to pick out of a crowd since it appears he has a diamond mounted between his eyebrows...

Forty years ago I knew people who wanted to move to Atlanta. You couldn’t get me to live there now if you paid me.

That sketch was made by the same woman at the GBI that did a sketch for me when I was robbed at gunpoint two years ago.

She did the Eric Rudolph sketch back in 96. She’s been drawing for the GBI for 35 years or so. It was a very interesting couple of hours with her. She has been drawing TEENS for so many years now that many times she has identified perps from their father and grandfathers facial features.

When I first walked in she handed me stacks of photo books filled with years and years of mugshots. She told me to look through them slowly and try to find features that reminded me of the robber saying “that monsters Daddy is in their somewhere”.

But if the “poor innocent kids” had been killed DRT how much you want to bet the #blacklivesmatter crowd would have burned that house down?

What an evil sin-sick society we live in!

Here is Detroit, any large group of blacks is a real possibility of a shooting.

Looks to be the same in Rochester, NY (basketball shooting) and in this Atlanta story.

Woman says her area is increasing the strength of diversity.

Wonder what the home invasion rate is in Kennesaw, where people are required to keep guns for protection?

In that hell called atlanta, a 3 day long “vacation” after a 6 hour drive trip to Biloxi Ms. would be a vacation. And if the casinos have a suspicion you have any money, they offer free rooms.
