An Atlanta mayoral candidate who voted to defund millions of dollars from the local police department’s budget reportedly had his car stolen by a group of young thieves this week.
City Council Member Antonio Brown had just gotten out of his white Mercedes coupe to speak to fellow community leader Ben Norman in northwest Atlanta’s Dixie Hills community Wednesday when he spotted four or five kids — the youngest only 6 or 7, WAGA-TV reported.
The children were walking around a store — and within seconds were inside Brown’s car, he said.
“One kid was in the driver’s seat,” Brown told the outlet. “Ben attempted to open the door to get him out of the car. He fought with Ben. I then engaged and tried to get him out of the car. The three other kids were trying to figure out how to get in the car or stay out of the car. He started to hit on the gas. Ben let go.”
“As he started to speed up, and I knew that if I had not let go, I knew I probably could have killed myself because he was going so fast, I would have started to tumble,” he added. “And I would have hurt him.”
Brown said he filed a report with the Atlanta Police Department.

Irony is one cruel female canine.

“””Authorities confirmed they found his car a few hours later, but did not say if they made any arrests. Brown said he doesn’t want to press charges, according to the report.
It appeared that the kids acted out of desperation, Brown told WSB-TV.”””
It is the new ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card.
All the criminals have to do is claim they acted out of desperation.
Sounds like an idea all Democrat mayors of rat-infested cities could support.
Yeah I got that.....but something is fishy.
Lol. A Mercedes? The perps did him a favor. Now he can use the insurance money to go get a Lexus or something that won’t spend more time in the shop than on the road.

The cops should have left the car where they found it until someone stripped it and set it on fire. Then towed it to an impound lot and charged him for towing and storage. And make him go to police HQ to fill out the report for insurance purposes, between 9:30 and 10:30 AM on a Tuesday, charge him a dollar page for a copy for his insurance claim.
Yep. Karma.
member of the council – on multiple fraud charges and alleged that he faked loan documents to buy a Mercedes C300 and a Range Rover.
Brown, who was elected to the council last year, is accused of attempting to defraud several financial institutions by taking out loans and making credit card purchases and then falsely claiming that he was the victim of identity theft, according to U.S. Attorney BJay Pak.
“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,” Pak said in a press release announcing the indictment on Wednesday.
“Brown’s scheme was eventually brought to light, resulting in his indictment by the grand jury,” Pak added.
Brown, 35, was charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and making false statements on a bank loan application.
Not only a crook running for mayor but a faggot....a black queer is a shoe in to win the election
“Hold on, Antonio, help is on the way!”
Why do I have this sudden urge to laugh myself silly over this? Karma is a bitch councilman!
