Full Title:
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

Hey Jeff,

You had a pretty good alliteration going in your tagline...might want to change it to:
Pathetic Pierre Delecto, the Pestiferous Potentate of Prostituted Principles.

Just a suggestion from a student of grammar!!

Different demographics, but with white libs on the other side, we will be under similar attack here and soon.

Really? All that and no one is shooting these savages? I thought Georgia is an open carry State. If not, carry anyway and risk the gun charges. Yes, I know about the costs for lawyers, but this is beyond the pale.

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...

Prepare yourself even if you live in suburbs. Talk to your family, friends, and neighbors to protect your loved ones and property.

Think blocking of street access with cars; armed posts in and around common areas behind your homes; armed day/night patrols, etc.

The crazies will come down to your suburbs as they have threatened so before. If they don't get what they want from the Floyd trial, they WILL be looking to you after they burn the cities down. They will be more brazen now that they got away with their insanity in 2020.

It’s complicated. The homeowners lean red, but there’s a considerable amount of multi-family rental units in the area and that is what drives those precincts blue.

South Orange, NJ did the same in the areas that border Newark. Entrances to several streets off of South Orange Avenue are blocked and you have to go a ways to drive onto the street.

I hope they allow us, too.

Other than having cheap access to extremely hot women and tons of vodka, why?

The same Russians who raped Polish women as they invaded and in World War II and have been responsible for crimes around the world? Savages living in a gas station with nukes. No thanks.

My memory is only slightly better than sleepy Joe’s, but seems I recall Buckhead exposed some bigtime scandal which made national headlines.

Had to do with the Clintons??

They should be rich enough to sue their way out of the city.

It was exposing Dan Rather and Rathergate.

God bless Buckhead.

“Buckhead was the trendy area where gays were rampant and white liberals frolicked.”

We call that West Hollywood here in LA.

One of the reasons Stalin turned against Tito (and tried to have him overthrown) was that Tito failed to punish Milovan Djilas after Djilas complained about the rapes and murders committed by the Red Army in Belgrade (after the Soviets helped the Partisans take Belgrade in 1944).
