Massive brawl at Atlantic Station raises concerns about safety near shopping areas (Atlanta)
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 11/30/2020 | Asia Simone Burns

The video clips are disturbing. They show a massive brawl involving scores of teenagers at Atlantic Station on Saturday night.

Some are running, some yelling, some throwing punches.

At the end, one youth collapses, having been pummeled. After a few kicks to the head, he starts to quake.

“I am in tears. Dear Lord, help us. I pray he is okay,” Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore said Monday in a social media post, nearly 48 hours after yet another incident outside a local shopping facility.

It’s not solely the harrowing footage that some find disquieting. It’s not only the sheer number of teens who were gathered at Atlantic Station — during a pandemic — that has sparked concern among city leaders.

It’s that violent incidents keep happening.

Rules of behavior do not apply now to one group. They are free to commit whatever mayhem strikes them at the time.

Better give them shooting lessons first. They generally can’t hit the broad side of a barn.

Hard to connect this to the election. This kind of lawlessness has been going on for decades. Wherever they go, they bring crime with them.

Remember, COVID-19 spreads because of structural racism

Yep, watched an episode of Court Cam where the guy appearing before the judge had sired 40 kids. He was being charged with domestic violence. I guess he gets to them before he beats them up.

Fighting over the old Euler vs Gauss greatest mathematician again...

"Or it could be over whether Newton or Leibniz first develop[ed] calculus."That would result in pistol fire.

Maybe they were deciding which side to take between Georg Cantor or Leopold Kronecker on the issue of infinite cardinalities. Or would that result in cannon fire?

Thankfully, I live outside the northern perimeter. Lord willing, I’ll soon be living far more outside the perimeter, like Appalachia— where the air is clean

You think? All Appalachia is being bought up by those fleeing California, NJ, NY and MA.

There was about 80 acres sold sight unseen by a CA customer recently. These people are bringing their liberal views and voting habits to your little town.

I figured as much.

They can loot millions of dollars worth of retail goods, yet heaven forbid someone without "special consideration" inadvertently and innocently forget their wallet/purse at home with valid driver's license and current vehicle registration...and the full-weight of the law comes down.

HA! I was just trying to think of a way to explain that situation without sounding racist.

I am so glad I don’t live in large DIMocRAT-run urban area. These uncivilized nitwits wouldn’t dare do that s*** around here. To those that do live there...move (just don’t bring your crappy LIB loser attitudes with you). Good luck.

Let me elaborate. There is no moment of any day that it is safe at Atlantic Station. About four years ago personal business forced me to go to downtown Atlanta. I basically negotiated with God the whole time just to let me live to get back outside the perimeter. Before that I had not been down there for 15 years and it was about the same then. I would not go back down there for the second coming.
