Tens of thousands of people lined up at an East Point shopping center hoping to get federal housing assistance became unruly Wednesday morning with reports of fights breaking out in the crowd. An East Point police spokesman said the crowd numbered 30,000, some of whom waited for two days at the Tri-Cities Plaza shopping center. They were seeking applications for East Point Housing Authority vouchers to discount their rent.

As the temperature rose Wednesday, people fell ill.

Sgt. Cliff Chandler, spokesman for the East Point Police Department, said there were no reported injuries from the jostling, but 62 people had to be treated for heat or health-related problems. He said 42 people were treated at the shopping center but 20 had to be taken to nearby hospitals. A toddler was treated earlier in the morning for "some type of seizure," Chandler said.

It must have been a racist event run by the New Black Panthers, because I dont’ see one white face in the crowd.

30,000 scumbags lining up for 62 slots. What a waste of oxygen. I say give 'em all straight razors, let 'em thin their own pack a bit.

62 Section 8 vouchers you mean. Atlanta has been destroying housing projects since before the Olympics and moving these miscreants into our neighborhoods.

I did not move out here and pay the taxes involved to have you move the same people I wanted refuge from, Fulton County. You keep them.

America looks like a third world country in Africa now with scenes like this.

Blame all the TV networks who support Obama and idiots who watch TV for losing the country. Fox is no better as they are owned by the Saudis.

In the near future you will see scenes like this over food. Keep watching TV sheep and the NFL, NBA, MBL, NCAA gamees where they fawn over Obama their hero. Stupid sheep.

I'm trying to figure out some common denominator for the people who want to live off the government......but for the life of me I can spot it.

Imagine how this headline would have read if this had been about Tea Partiers lining up to greet Sarah Palin!!

Would “rowdy” have been used . . . . . . or “violent”?

You got this right. By November King Obama will have bought millions more. This is going to be a hard fight and November will not mean much unless we are lucky and get the Senate and House. Have to have both to stop King Obama and his communists party.

How many of those were illegals, Government workers (refer to the utilities assistance scandal a few weeks back), and fifth or sixth generation welfare queens?

30,000 for 62 units? Surely the libs in charge of this can prevent something like this.

I wish many of these people would line up for jobs.
