A councilman in Atlanta who backs the 'Defund the Police' movement and is running for mayor, was dragged from his car while it was being stolen Wednesday at an event.
Antonio Brown was the victim of a carjacking months after he voted for an ordinance that would've withheld tens of millions of dollars from the police.
The incident happened as Atlanta deals with a crime surge, with murders up 59 percent and car thefts up 25 percent from a year ago, as of May 22. There have been 54 murders in Atlanta compared to 34 at this time in 2020, as well as 284 shootings, up 46 percent from a year ago.
At a ribbon-cutting in northwest Atlanta, four people hopped into Brown's car as he was getting out to speak to someone just before noon - and took off.
'Several males entered his unlocked car and drove away with it,' police stated. Brown was driving a Mercedes Coupe, which has a push-button ignition.

It's good that these politicians are experiencing the consequences of their actions. But it's not so good that the population at large also has to suffer.

He got it back. Worse luck. Being a Mercedes the perps only got a few miles down the road before it quit running.

Are we supposed to be upset and concerned in the least little way that he was inconvenienced? He even got the car back without it getting wrapped around a tree.

Almost killed? He’s standing there talking to the police afterwards!
And why were the police called?
And why did he file a police report? Is he trying to destroy their lives?

Brilliant :" Antonio Brown was the victim of a carjacking..."
Since he recommended "defunding the police",
maybe he should report it to his parish priest for retribution,
or perform penance for such feral stupidity.
Incidentally, Antanio, welcome to the world of electronic insecurity, whereby you get "jacked", and not even get kissed !

A councilman in Atlanta who backs the 'Defund the Police' movement and is running for mayor, was dragged from his car while it was being stolen Wednesday at an event.When I first read this, I thought it said "...dragged behind his car..."
Would have been appropriate.
