Atlanta's richest neighborhood Buckhead pushes for SECESSION and its own police force as city-wide crime explosion sees murders soar 80%: Footage emerges of rifle-wielding robbers attack wealthy resident on their doorsteps

The Buckhead Exploratory Committee, made up of residents of the city's richest neighborhood of Buckhead, are looking to break away from the city The move comes in the wake of a surge in violent crime that has left people 'genuinely concerned for their safety,' they said In January, one woman was thrown to the ground on her driveway and had a gun held to her head before robbers made off with her purse and cellphone Home surveillance footage shows a man sprinting to reach the safety of his home as a car pulled up outside with a man touting a rifle In December, a seven-year-old girl was shot dead while Christmas shopping Crime data from Atlanta Police Department shows robberies increased 40 percent in the period running January 1 to February 20 compared to last year Aggravated assaults also increased 35 percent, auto theft 63 percent and larceny from auto theft 32 percent Across the city as a whole, homicides were up 80 percent compared to the same period last year, shootings 32 percent and robberies 17 percent Research shows crime rose in most US cities last year, with homicides up in 29 of 34 cities surveyed

He is still up and cursing a blue streak, far more than a white commentator could get away with, although there may be videos of his that are never shown. You are right about the violence, but between the “ratchets” Tommy talks about and the DNC-MSM axis of evil, they will need a hard pounding to get it through their brains that they need to change.

I had literally the exact conversation with a CA police officer from a major city. He says he knows the Mayor, City Council, DA’s office and even the Police Chief are all Leftist stooges who almost WANT them to fail.

I guess the are part of the Globalist Cabal that want nationalized police force aided by the cell phone and Alexa spies.

I think if anyone ever goes to South Africa (spending a couple of weeks there), they’d come back and make a dozen easy comparisons to major urbanized areas of the US. Drug use may have come late to South Africa, but it just turboized the decline of the country.

The difference is that the whole country of South Africa is basically Baltimore. Here in USA, you only have inner cities that are like Baltimore. So you just have to avoid “no go” zones in this country. But in South Africa, you can’t really hide anymore so you might as well as get out of the country.

Just wait until Officer Chauvin is acquitted of murder. He may be found guilty of lessor offenses, but 1st degree murder won't be one of them. You think the crazies were bad during 2020, just wait. Every city in the entire country will explode. They are already starting...

When is that expected to happen?

#12. Stacey Abrams, Comrade Ossoff and alleged rapist Rev. Warnock collectively said, about their elections and crime:

“Yes we did”.

“Bring out your dead” and “we’ll be back next week for more”.

But he’s not monetized, meaning he can’t make $$ off of his videos due to his content. He can make money via donations though.Also make money from paywall sites that he puts his videos.

Well thankfully black population here in the US has stayed at 13% for a long time now. That way the violent in their culture can be contained in hot spots you’re talking about. Unfortunately , the white population has fallen almost 20% over a few decades.

Dan Rathers lies about George W Bush military service. Buckhead was first to call him out in a post here and the thread exploded. It was a great night. Rather lost his job and so did his assistant Mary Mapes.

All they have to do is get the word out that if someone causes trouble in their neighborhood, the *will* get push back, and it may be a lot harder than the police would use.

Your post immediately brought to mind the way the Mafia families are said to have effectively controlled “unorganized crime” in NYC until they themselves were brought to heel by RUDY and RICO.

At some point, there’s got to be, and in some places, going to be, some serious pushback.

The problem is, not getting caught as they will nail your racist hide to the wall and then throw you in GP and tell every one there what you did.

If this happens, it won’t be pretty.

“ I am being very honest; no flaming, please.”

It’s pretty much true. Atlanta is a sacrificial city. Locally known as Brown Town.

My statement may offend some folks, but here it goes: My dad was active in Buckhead Coalition (a ‘good ole boys’ group. He told me 20 years ago that white folks were moving out of Atlanta city, headed for the suburbs, and letting the black folks handle Atlanta.

Don't the fact support Atlanta as the Blackest city?
