This is pretty near the heart of ‘nice’ downtown / midtown Atlanta. 10th Street runs east-west, and crosses I-75/85, the downtown connector. The west side there is the Ga Tech campus. So he was essentially in next-to-campus housing, and a short walk to the student center, the Army ROTC building, or across the bridge to any number of running-dog capitalist Great Satan company buildings.
CNN itself is way south of campus, but the Cartoon network is close ;-)
The Coca Cola building is on the south edge of campus, but it has been a secure compound for years, and he’d have to have an arm like a major league right fielder to do any damage to the building itself.
Who knows?
Maybe one of his engineering student buddies was busy making a giant slingshot?
