A father-of-three out jogging on Saturday morning in Atlanta's wealthiest neighborhood, Buckhead, was shot twice by a 'mentally ill' man who police say also opened fire on two other people and mowed down a neighbor with his car.

Atlanta police arrested and charged 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom with attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime in connection with the weekend crime spree.

The first shooting took place in the 1200 block of West Wesley Road in Buckhead, Atlanta's richest section, which has been making a push to form its own police force and secede from the rest of the city amid skyrocketing crime rates.

'We have information that he [Gaelen Newsom] may have been suffering from some type of mental health crisis,'

Yeah, its called liberalism/BLM/leftist indoctrination.

The 'mentally ill' excuse is only used with violent criminals who are members of democrat pet victim groups...

He's black.

He's violent.

That makes him "mentally" ill OR he's violent because of "white supremacy".

___

It's stupid - this jerk is not 'mentally ill'.

He's a violent thug.

But press toadies buy the lies because they kiss progressive butt and they're stupid.

Crime Statistics prove the Poster correct.

It isn’t a Racial thing, it’s a Numbers thing.

I guess he could add the stipulation “Odds are”.

"I don't know why you are so hung up on skin color, but that is the very definition of racist. "

Color is the identifier of the 13% of the population the commits most of the crimes.

I think the rich White Leftists living there should be ashamed to living in a Neighborhood named after the Black Character named Buckwheat from the Racist White Supremacist Our Gang Movies.

If I lived there I would start a Petition Drive renaming the area Farrakhan Village or another appropriate name.

Half my street is black.

Not really worried about the retired eye doctor across the street or the retired accountant next door. Actually, not worried about any of my neighbors. They are focused on their lawns, home improvements, fishing at the lake at the end of the block, you know... gangsta things like that.

'shot twice by a 'mentally ill' man'

There seems to be a lot of them abroad in the land of late.

One can recognize them when coming face to face with them. They voted for Joe Biden for President and believe they can change the climate.

Newsom? Hey Gavin, are you sending your relatives to screw up other states?

Never happen

Buckhead and all the fancy parts of Atlanta pay the bill

Like any heavily black southern city

Mostly whites in their enclaves pay the bills...and suffer consequences

I’m in Atlanta 3-4 times a year..

Parts are very nice

But it’s a big Johannesburg

Hipster pioneers brave it....foolishly in my views....they trailblaze like homosexual gentrifiers used to

Of course, but what of it? Everyone on the planet is a racist. And by the way, if where you live is so safe why do you always carry?

The name Buckhead reminds me of former FReeper Buckhead who showed that Dan Rather’s letter in 2004 (just before the election) showing George W. Bush’s supposed evasion of his National Guard duties was a fake, within minutes of it being released.

................................................
Speaking of Johannesburg, if you want to see what the future may soon be in the good old USA, buy or borrow a copy of Ilana Mercer’s book entitled ‘Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from post-Apartheid South Africa’. Warning: that little book has been known to cause nightmares!
