It never was going to go anywhere. The mayor is a black female, the police chief is a black female. If you are white, what more do you need to know about your safety in that city.
What they ARE doing by attacking a tourist publicly (i know that the victim went public) is in effect saying that if you come here and get victimized, tough crap.
I still say that the guy who went back for the physical alteration was the guy who was the “last to avoid the fight”. What Savannah is saying that if someone says something “offensive” or looks “offensive” to a citizen, the citizen has the right to do a beatdown. Unbelievable.
The posts appear to be “ethnically polarized” one way. (just my study on the TV site facebook posts where one has to have a facebook account to post). I looked at the names and pics. (not a scientific study i know, but a quick snapshot). Almost all the “attack the Atlanta family” posts were justifying a “beatdown” for “words”. Is that what society has come to? If someone is “offended” they have a right to do a “beatdown” up to and including the death of a victim of this “beatdown”? Good Lord and this Presser from Official Savannah police, media, business, is ENCOURAGING this (IMHO) AND by the way the stuff is written (since the family is identified by the victim first and then in media), will this encourage ATTACKS on the Atlanta family because of the Official Savannah PD, media, business RESPONSE? I can smell the lawsuit now. Savannah handled this very poorly. The press releases very poorly.
