ATLANTA — Early Sunday morning, another group of street racers stopped traffic at the 10th Street and Piedmont Road intersection so they could burn rubber on top of Atlanta’s “Rainbow Crosswalk”.

They cleared the area before Atlanta police arrived but left more damage at the busy intersection just a few days after it had been cleaned up.

Atlanta Police are offering a $2,000 reward for anyone with information on the street racers who have been disrupting Atlanta’s streets and leaving damage at one of the City’s better known landmarks.

Last Sunday morning, APD responded to reports of street racers doing the exact same thing at the popular street corner.

Never mind all the murders and shoplifting, this is the top crime issue in Atlanta.

Got to appease the poofters and their rabid supporters.

[crusty old prospector]

Hate crime alert.

Sounds like NORMAL wear and tear on a painted cross walk....................

“at one of the City’s better known landmarks.”

Better known? Heck, when the relatives come to town, it’s the first thing I think of showing them. Bring the kids too!

“We, like many of you, were disturbed when we saw the burn out marks on the crosswalks,” Atlanta police said. “We want to be clear: we have zero tolerance for this in our city. Our investigators are working hard to identify anyone involved in this incident.”

Arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic…?

Color boldly, but stay between the lines.

Seems like a can of black paint and rollers would be all that was necessary.

They are just adding black to the mix which has been discriminated against by the other colors. /s

I’ve been here ten years and didn’t know this was a thing. Street racing is dangerous

The crosswalks were repaired during the week, crews will have to return once the Publix Atlanta Marathon ends and the rains clear this Sunday to fix the damage.

Probably a sermon in there about life and Marathon and rain and damage and rainbows..

They should e Offering $2000 to every driver that does burnouts on this display of deviance.

[Salman]

So now street racing (already illegal) is now a hate crime, because the authorities painted rainbows on the road?

[Georgia Girl 2]

I can’t remember the last time I was down in that area.

Black tire marks matter

[Leaning Right]

What’s all the fuss about? From that picture it looks to me like someone was making a simple u-turn.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Yeah a shame and travesty! /s

Landmark?
