Little Gainesville, Ga has suddenly had like 8 shootings. Gainesville hasn’t had that many shootings in years - cumulatively.

Gangs coming up from the ATL.

Obama on his grandmother...

“she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, you know, there’s a reaction that’s been bred in our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society.”

Maybe the link goes into WHY, but I don't wish to click it.

Old personal grudge? Mob hit? Random act of hate?

‘With the car window rolled down, Bennett allegedly approached and tried to rob Hough around 7:45 p.m.’

I live near Gainesville, GA. The paper here called it a failed carjacking / robbery.

Geographically Gainesville is over an hour by car from East Point, on a low traffic time. Meaning, he was here deliberately. You don’t just get in a car from East Point and say, “I’ll drive up to Gainesville.”

There’s more to this this.

Gainesville has its own issues with all the illegals. They really don’t need any help from the thugs in Atlanta. Although the thugs from Atlanta might think all the illegals and chicken plant workers are easy pickings. Either way, what was once a decent little city north of Atlanta and near the lake has devolved into a mini-Mexico and crime. Interestingly, Gwinnett County, once a safe and growing Republican stronghold, is going the same way with all the gang problems. Used to be that the cops in Atlanta and a little in Dekalb, got most of the rough stuff. With the illegals and the fact that crime is actually getting worse, no matter how departments are cooking the books, every cop is getting a taste of it these days.

“Jack Hough, a beloved businessman and philanthropist, was shot and killed outside a CVS pharmacy in Gainesville, Georgia.

His full name was James Jackson “Jack” Hough, and he was 73-years-old.

“Jack was a philanthropist in the Gainesville community and supported numerous charities,” his obituary reads.

“In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to two of Jack’s favorite charities – We Care 615 Oak Street #F1300 Gainesville, GA 30501 and Gainesville First United Methodist Church 2780 Thompson Bridge Road Gainesville, GA 30501.”

Hough was remembered by those who knew him as a “fine Southern Gentleman,” who gave a lot back to the community.
