Welcome to the new ‘South Chicago’.
Whether you want to call it secession or divorce, it looks like it’s starting to pick up steam.
Big city life ain’t what it used to be.☺
How does a suburb “divorce” itself from its urban area?
Atlanta is a cancer that just keeps spreading. The Coweta County Fair was shut down last weekend due to fights breaking out.
They keep calling it a ‘suburb’ but I take it that Buckhead is really part of Atlanta proper and want to incorporate separately? So if they do so then how long before they can set up their own police, their own fire, their own city services?
Forming their own PD will help some. But the bigger problem is Atlanta is going downhill at an accelerating speed.
Micro-Rhodesia
Going to have to build a 15 ft tall wall with concertina wire to keep out the thugs
“where the average house price costs $1.4 million”
With that level of wealth, the FIRST THING that people there need to do is make damn sure Stacy Abrams and her clan don’t win office (or stay in contested seats). Next they need to find good conservatives* to win those seats, and give them tons of money. If all that happens, the state just may cut them loose. Otherwise, they’ll get to continue enjoying being part of ‘cosmopolitan Atlanta’, for eternity.
*for many of the buckhead people, that means sucking it up and voting REPUBLICAN, maybe for the first time in their lives. Sure, the ‘horrific and vile’ Trump is a Republican, but if they want to take their upper crust neighborhood out of Atlanta, they will need take the required steps...otherwise, no dice.
Oh sure...declaring yourself independent from Atlanta means crime will stop at city limits!😎
Demographics is destiny.
....one compromise could be that if Buckhead represents 38% of Atlanta’s revenue then 38% of City Council folks need to “LIVE IN” Buckhead.
Our black friends (the majority) in Atlanta will NEVER EVER agree to that. So, one way or another, they will lose Buckhead.
Example: Public Schools. Hard headed NEA unionists, marxist/socialists ALL...........still control Public Schools. BUT, white and black middle class folks are just circumventing public schools and the NEA FRONT by building/organizing new private schools by the thousands while home schooling is expanding exponentially. Soon, public schools will lose tax revenue......like Atlanta is/will lose Buckhead tax dollars.
The problem is black culture, which celebrates or condones or ignores black crime, drives out good people of all races. The answer is to get away from it, as the government will not protect good people, and in much of the country, self-defense against black criminals will not be accepted.
Please Mr. White, explain to us how divorcing your town from Atlanta is gonna cure this disease.
Wow, I’m sure most of them voted for democrats.
The “defund the police” movement is all about installing a national police force, AKA Stasi and funding/paying for former special security forces to protect our elites.
There will be no sheriffs or city police forces, just Federales/Stasi and private special security forces for the ruling elites.
We will have zero: First and Second amendment rights.
The elites will hire the former spec ops people now leaving our military to protect themselves, their businesses and their family members. That is being done now as shown below:
Private armed security outfits have been hired to patrol a popular section of Portland known for its bars and nightlife after the city slashed police funding and saw a year of violence in the area.
“My job is to get you home safe,” one guard for the Ravencrest Force Protection Group, Jean-Pierre LaFont, told Willamette Weekly. “Unless you’re the perpetrator. The only way for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. So I’m going to do something.”
“This once was a great city,” he added. “This is a great city. It’s the best. We just forgot.”
LaFont, a Navy SEAL veteran, patrols Portland’s Old Town wearing a bulletproof vest, and carrying a 9 mm pistol and an AR-15 rifle. He’s become a common sight in the area every Friday and Saturday night after a local bar owner hired Ravencrest following a shooting in June in the area when two men were shot and bullets sprayed across eight cars.
Trey Gowdy rips lawmakers for funding personal security while pushing to defund police!
“Sunday Night in America” host Trey Gowdy tore into progressive ‘Squad’ member Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., after campaign filings revealed she spent a shocking $70,000 on private security while publically calling for reduced police budgets nationwide.
“Members of Congress are spending more money than ever on their personal security,” Gowdy, a former GOP congressman told viewers Sunday night. “It’s a track tragic reflection of the times we live in. Members of Congress have been threatened with all acts of violence. Because of these threats of violence, members of Congress are allowed to spend campaign money on their safety… safety is priority number one for members of Congress, as it should be. But what about you?” he said in his opening monologue.
