This angers me. Buckhead, where I raised my children, is a war zone now. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is blaming Covid for the crime wave in Buckhead. It has nothing to do with Covid. The Mayor is instigating this crime, fueling the racial tension. And behind Lance Bottoms is Staci Abrams, Soros, Obama... .

I was going to stop for the night in Buckhead last February while heading to Florida, but too many of the hotel reviews warned about crime. No thanks.

Did you see the spree drive-by shooting this weekend? Black male in his early 20s decided he was going to shoot some joggers. He fired at at least three (in different locations), striking one twice. He was arrested this today.

I’ve been told the three victims were white yet it doesn’t appear they’re investigating the shootings as a ‘hate crime.’ Instead, police are saying it was a ‘mental health crisis.’ Sure.

Moved to South Florida from Sandy Springs in 2019 after our youngest graduated from college. Couldn’t be happier...or safer.

Atlanta is a money pit of black crime and welfare state spending. The only way to deal with the problem is to separate your neighborhood from the Atlanta government. In other words: secede from the city of Atlanta.

Isn’t global warming the usual excuse.
Looks like they found a new cover.

“Why Atlanta’s richest neighborhood wants to secede from the city Atlanta...”


The answer is quite simple: racism and greed. The citizens of Buckhead don’t apparently appreciate the municipal governance of the ‘people of color’ now leading Atlanta city government . And they don’t like paying taxes to a government that doesn’t care to provide services to them.

It is not a local deviation. The crime wave Atlanta is experiencing, is being likewise experienced by citizens of Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. etc. Consequently, it is not unreasonable to conclude that they all have a similar or the same cause: stupidity.

Ask an 8 year old child if abolishing the police will “solve” crime or violence. He or she would say no. What do these children know, that the elected Democrat leaders of these cities are unaware of? They know that stupidity is often self destructive, even suicidal.

This one truth should be enough to dethrone all of the idiots that burden the citizens of those cities, unless stupidity has become a civic virtue. I certainly hope not.

Breaks my heart. Where I honeymooned years ago. Stayed at the Shellmont Inn and dined at the 4 Seasons.

Went back a few years back. The Atlanta Underground was non-existent. Used to be a bustling, vibrant place.

I hope they cannot break away from Atlanta. I hope those rich pukes who vote Democrat like good little lefties get heaping helpings of communism until they puke.

Until last month, I lived in a quiet, upscale northern burb of Atlanta. In the process of preparing the house for sale, I installed a Ring door bell. Now I get alerts in my phone about all the crimes within 3-4 miles of the house, replete with videos of the perpetrators. Most are breaking into cars and homes. Guess how many were not black? I’ll wait….

I’ve now escaped to rural Trump country, where people are armed and polite. I couldn’t feel more secure.

Atlanta has a population segment that commits 90% of the crime there.

Admitting it, is ‘racist’.
Focusing on it and preventing it is ‘slavery’ & ‘apartheid’.

Very interesting article. Is there a chance that Buckhead will be able to secede?
