It has become a common sight around the city of Atlanta groups of boys selling bottled water at intersections of busy city roads.
Recently, some of those kids have started to get violent with drivers.
Now, several victims are calling on the mayor, Atlanta City Council and Atlanta Police Department to put a stop to what many are describing as a growing problem.
In an interview with Channel 2 Action News on Monday, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms described some of the teens as up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
Shes even created an advisory committee thats going to come up with possible solutions for the kids who want to continue selling water in a safe manner.
But Channel 2′s Michael Seiden has spoken with victims who say enough is enough and that its time to get the kids off the streets before someone gets killed.

Going to have to figure out what to do with the unwashed and non-working population though. In the future there will be MANY MORE of them. Society is running away from manual and menial labor. I just toured a factory that once had 120 people on the shop floor. They automated, there are now less than 20 people making more product with better quality. It is here and growing.
So what are we going to do with all the unemployed low skill, low ability people we have and will have more of in the future?

They weren’t Chiropractors, they were hookers.
At the height of the Squegee epidemic in NYC, the liberals tittered that it was better to pay them money NOT to "clean" the windshield.
