Atlanta, GA Following weeks of dramatically increased violent crime and property destruction in the City of Atlanta, the July Fourth weekend saw over thirty Georgians wounded by gunfire, including five confirmed dead. Today Governor Kemp issued Executive Order 07.06.20.01, which declares a State of Emergency across Georgia and authorizes the activation of as many as 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops.
Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead, said Governor Kemp. This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city. I have declared a State of Emergency and called up the Georgia Guard because the safety of our citizens comes first. This measure will allow troops to protect state property and dispatch state law enforcement officers to patrol our streets. Enough with the tough talk. We must protect the lives and livelihoods of all Georgians.
The zzzzZzzzZZzzzzzzzzzZzzz’s were good, huh, KempIdiot?
I agree with a comment at the original website: “If the mayor had done her job, this would not have been necessary.”
Outside of lawful society all men must live “[in] continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man [is] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”

Thanks very much for that quote. I hadn’t heard it before.
Red first, black second. Individual lives are expendable. The ends justify the means.
The National Guard will be patrolling state owned property.
The GA State Patrol will be patrolling non-state owned property in Atlanta (the streets).
Stone Mountain Park (where the Panthers marched) is owned by the state, so expect to see a National Guard presence there.
The Atlanta police have gone MIA since the (Democrat) Atlanta prosecutor charged the officers with felony murder. That’s one reason it has gotten so bad in Atlanta.
The National Guard is not patrolling the streets. They will be guarding state owned property (like Stone Mountain Park and the State Patrol building in Atlanta that was damage by rioters).
The state patrol is being sent in to patrol streets in Atlanta.
Yep, post the troops AROUND the city to prevent the barbarians from escaping to pillage anywhere else.
Then wait for the Mayor to beg.
I just saw a few parked at Subway. Hope the enjoy their sandwich.
When Democratically controlled cities and counties can’t handle their shit, then the (R)Gov. has to step in.
Couldn't find a proper place to put thisThis might be the most disgusting moment in Presidential history. https://t.co/55Yz5xQfoS— JT Lewis (@thejtlewis) July 8, 2020
Sorry if it doesn't fit in this thread
1,000? Just enough to protect the Govs mansion.
All these socialist governors and deep state virus extortion racketeers should be rounded up and sent to a prison camp for aiding and abetting an attempt to overthrow the US government
You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help.

I am so grateful for the 3.5 years that the USA has had a leader who tries to steer the country in a better direction.
