Baloney. I've lived in Atlanta. Corruption, patronage, and incompetence creates risks that can extract a high price.
A local lawyer was on WSB about ten minutes ago blasting the lax security on the part of the FulCo Sheriff's office. He said that he has warned people that something like this could happen for quite awhile now.
Surprised? Didn't think so.
None of us are.
At least I'll have one more excuse to avoid jury service . . .
"I ain't serving on a jury unless I can protect myself in this courtroom!"
Is limo driver Bev Harvard still the police chief?
Honest question (I've been gone from there for several years), did Shirley Franklin start to clean house when she became mayor, or is she just another version of Campbell and Company?
It will happen over and over again. Atlanta has no intention of abolishing its patronage system. Some people are just too stupid to live.
