How he got his Mercedes:

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) — Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown was indicted by a Fulton County Grand Jury, and charged for alleged attempts to defraud financial institutions.

“For years, Antonio Brown allegedly sought to defraud a number of banks and credit card companies by falsely claiming that he was the victim of identity theft,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak in a release Wednesday.

Oh but it wasn’t actually stolen. It was just a simple
protest.

I love how a crime is still a crime, IF the victim holds an
office seat.

If you lose your economic lifeline (business), it’s just a
protest.

Here are some quotes from the idiot who is running for mayor of Atlanta:

He said the kids who stole his car acted out of hopelessness and desperation.

“This is a generational poverty issue. These kids, it’s 12:30 in the afternoon. Why aren’t they in school? Why aren’t we enforcing systems to ensure that if they are not in school, they’re in recreational centers?” Brown said.

The councilman said he doesn’t intend to file criminal charges against the young people who stole his car, which has not yet been found.


So they stole his valuable care because they’re hopeless and desperate? So hopeless that they were willing to drag his aide down the street to keep what they had just stolen.

Why aren’t they in school? School in many places is out for the summer. But if it were in season? Atlanta is going to send truant officers after kids who aren’t in school—if a disproportionate number of the ‘right kids’ are truant, that would be racist.

But more alarmingly, he seems to think that attendance at ‘recreational centers’ should be mandatory? There have been political systems as recently as the 20th century where membership in youth groups was required.

And of course, he doesn’t intend to press charges against the ‘kids’ who stole his car and dragged a guy who works for him down the street. After all punishing criminal behavior is such an old-fashioned white kind of idea.

May be true, but for the 7-11 age group:
"Hopelessness" = ineffective family structure.
"Desperation" = failure of educational system.

Throw in a lack of effective community leadership.

“”It happened to Akon in Atlanta the other day (left car running while getting gas).””

I thought signs were posted to shut off the engine when pumping gas...was always so in CA - haven’t noticed like signs here in GA.

> These kids were in my opinion somewhere between 7- and 11-years-old <

Let’s not jump to conclusions, councilman. They could have been Munchkins.

I think I saw the perps.

They were driving south on Venter Ave in a multi colored Prius.

They ditched it onn Atlantic Blvd and ran into Harrah’s.

That’s the last I saw of them.

In Nnew high-end cars, you just need to be within a few feed of the vehicle. You no longer have keys, but a remote fob that when in close proximity to the car will allow you to push the “start” button on the dash. Because there’s no longer an ignition.

Dumb dumb should’ve locked his car as soon as he got out. I always do, but I drive a ‘99, so I still have an ignition.

If he can’t do that simple task, how could anyone vote him in for Mayor?

Moments after he stepped out of his car, a group of kids jumped in and took it.

And the Council member should be Criminally Charged with reckless endangerment of a minor for leaving the keys in his car unattended, I Don't care if it was only a minute, ARREST HIM!!

Who teaches the uthes to drive? Atlanta has pretty bad traffic and not easy to negotiate the streets.

The car is in Mexico by now.
