TLANTA — Investigators are asking for your help to identify a robbery suspect.

The Atlanta Police Department released photos of the suspect in question.

Police said on Wednesday around 8:40 p.m., a black man wearing a black mask, black hoodie, dark gray jeans, and black and gray New Balance shoes entered the Food Mart at 8 Cleveland Ave. SE and attempted to rob the store.

During the attempted robbery, the suspect shot at the store clerk, but the bulletproof glass stopped the round, and the suspect ran from the store.

Police said anyone with information can submit a tip anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-8477, online, or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637).

You may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.

The thug should SUE the Food Mart for preventing him from doing his job, he should file for workers comp and unemployment because they denied his rights to Work in his chosen profession...

Having your mask match your skin tone has to be as fashionable as it gets.

that’s just racist- the perp should have been allowed to hit the cashier several times with bullets- preventing him from doing so... just because he’s black... is racist! /s

Kinda sorta...

There’s a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighborhood
He’s got an interstate running’ through his front yard
You know, he thinks, he’s got it so good
And there’s a woman in the kitchen cleaning’ up evening slop
And he looks at her and says:
“Hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock”

The FIRST cashier to die needs to have family members sue the city council for failing to enact policies to protect workers!

Once I saw a stickup man get a long skinny finger shaped rock and hold it in his hoodie pocket like a gun barrel, and try to rob a drive up window at a hamburger place. The kid in the drive up window slammed the glass window closed. He thought he was behind bulletproof glass (it wasn’t) and started giving him the finger.

So there they were, one idiot incorrectly thinking he was behind bulletproof glass giving the finger, and one idiot with a pocket rock, shaped like a gun giving his threats.

Swear it’s true.

Might be nice to do as Israel does. Any theft or attempts the families get their welfare payments eliminated and the government bulldozes their tenements.

If there’s skin in the game and a little accountability would this continue?

I had a co-worker who moved from to San Francisco and now is in Atlanta. He sure knows how to pick them.
Maybe Philadelphia is his next destination.

Don’t forget those unisex, “skinny jeans”. They’re “wildly popular” among the convenience store hold up crowd.

Is this the foundation of Mayor Pete’s understanding of “racist highways”?
