The murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has inspired a local pizzeria owner to run for office.
Sidney Anne Waters, who owns Mama Sid’s Pizza, is running for a slot on the Athens-Clarke County Commission because of Riley’s death — and the illegal immigrant who’s been arrested in connection with the brutal slaying.
“I… all of a sudden… had a reality check… There are a lot of us in Athens that really didn’t know what our government was doing… The day before… qualifying ending, I decided I would go in and put my name on the ticket,” Waters told Fox News Friday.
Waters, who hopes to oust incumbent Carol Myers in District 8, says local residents are very “concerned” about sanctuary city policies after Venezuelan migrant Jose Ibarra, 26, reportedly a member of the deadly Tren de Aragua gang, allegedly killed Riley, 22, when she was on a run near the University of Georgia campus last month.
Waters said she doesn’t understand why or how Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz decided to sign a 2019 resolution welcoming people “of all lands and backgrounds” — as well as illegal immigrants.

Say My Name.
Demento Joe: Lincoln Riley.
Pizza restaurant owner and candidate Sid Waters said she doesn’t understand why or how Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz decided to sign a notorious 2019 resolution.
The Mayor welcomed people “of all lands and backgrounds” — as well as illegal immigrants......

Athens, Ga. Has lots of ageing hippy types from the ‘70s who moved to Athens to go to college and never bothered to leave. Mired in poverty, many of those clowns are advocating for socialism and are voting Democrat. Dems love illegals. Children of Illegals will vote for the Dems in order to get socialism. Spending other people’s money is the general theme.
How many illegals is the Mayor housing?
Mama Sid's pizza looks mighty good.
