Actually, Turner Field is less then two miles from the area and almost directly South down the Connector (I-75/I-85)which runs through downtown. This area is approx. .4 miles from the North edge of downtown.
I just saw a story on the local Fox affliate and they made sure to point out that the men were in police custody at City Hall East-not taken to the local FBI field office. For whatever that's worth.
It is very peculiar though-wouldn't you agree?
Thanks for clarifying. I feel better now knowing that Chief Beverly and Mayor Campbell (aka crook) are holding this group. Maybe there's some jurisdiction issues or perhaps the city can hold them longer? Guess we'll know more in the days to come. Then again, maybe City Hall East is close to where the cameras were pointed and they want to make this group sweat it out!
