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

20 or 30 years ago that was the norm.

I know from personal experience. My aunt and uncle had a nice home in a Polish neighborhood in the city. As kids we used to go there all the time and play outside. The houses were kept up and decorated with flowers especially on Polish holidays.

Then they built ‘the projects’ across the street. In less than a decade the place looked like a war zone. It was not safe to go outside. Housing prices plummeted.

After 20 years the projects were so decrepit they were abandoned.

Bet it was a lot of fun on Dyngus Day.

Soviet soldiers even raped concentration camp women. Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic are all better bets.

Having watched Tommy Sotomayor, I wonder how many of those ‘brothers’ have the cops called on them by their black GF’s, baby mama’s, etc? I read a statistic 2 months ago that blacks called the police SEVEN TIMES more often than whites.

Back in ‘04, Freeper Buckhead saved us from a Kerry presidency. He and our late, beloved Freeper Howlin’.

Gee I wonder how many of these armed perpetrators legally bought their guns and had to go through a criminsl background check as well as dutifully turned in their A-15s and high capacity magazines? Gun control will never take guns away from felons or terrorists just disarms law abiding citizens

Upper middle class blacks are among the most racist, left wing people out there. I get along fine with average working class blacks, but the “educated” ones have the biggest chips on their shoulders.

Buckhead is about 25% “black”.

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

It was Freeper Buckhead who showed that the font in the memos Rather used to attack President Bush was a Microsoft font that wasn't available until the 1990s, and thus could not have been used to write reports in the 1960s.

busy watching the hockey scoring in the Red Wings game. Goals galore and they are still in the first quarter...

Period. Hockey doesn't have quarters!

Talked to an APD cop a few weeks ago. They’re 20-25% understrength and don’t feel like the new DA or the mayor and council have their backs.

The situation is the same in almost every major city. Understrength police departments with no political backing from the muncipal governments.

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.

Several years ago one of my Navy buddies was getting ready to retire and thinking aloud about where to live. When I suggested Atlanta, my friend who was a black Chief said 'that city is too black'.

I have cousins who live south of the city in Clayton County. They very rarely go into Atlanta.
