Armed protesters stood guard on Tuesday at an Atlanta-area Wendy's, the site where Rayshard Brooks, a black man shot twice in the back by an Atlanta police officer, died earlier this month.

Earlier in the day, a group of people had "taken over" the burned-out property in South Atlanta, according to local reports.

People living in the area also have complained that the protesters who remained were no longer peaceful, but instead were using the space for their own gain and at times blocking people on the street from getting by.

They claimed the Atlanta police weren't doing much to solve the problem, making life for those living in the neighborhood a living nightmare.

"My husband literally just missed getting caught in the crossfire when he was on his way home," Kimberlee Jones told WXIA. "People have been shot and have been hurt."

Funny thing. To START a civil war with burning down Atlanta. Last time that came in towards the end.

Despite all appearances I’ll bet that most black residents are sick of this crap. But they dare not raise their voices.

It was.

I hope Wendy’s has no plans to rebuild their burned out restaurant.

[stylin19a]

would Wendy’s and their parking lot be private property ?

Other than the lawyers,who is going to get the money from the lawsuits over his death? His widow? His squeeze? Or BLM?

[momincombatboots]

They are not giving up theirs, they are just taking yours.

[beethovenfan]

Put a fence around it and keep them in there. No food, no water. See how long they last.
