A crowd of people hoping to get federal housing assistance became unruly Wednesday morning with reports of fights breaking out in the crowd.
Thousands of people were lined up at the Tri-Cities shopping center, hoping to apply for a voucher from the East Point Housing Authority that will give them a discount on their rent.
People began lining up at the shopping center two days ago, and by Wednesday morning the crowd had grown to over 1,000 people. East Point police, some wearing riot helmets, were patrolling the area. Firefighters and EMTs were attending to people who were overheating in the sun. College Park police and firefighters were also assisting in crowd control.
Felecia McGhee told the AJC she arrived around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. She said the major problem began when people started breaking into the line and officials started moving the areas where they were handing out applications. She said she saw at least two small children trampled when the crowd rushed the building where the applications were to be handed out.
"It's a real mess out here," she said.
Channel 2 Action News reporter Mike Petchenik said fights were breaking out and police had to stop people who were storming the door.

I always wanted to write a novel where the Russians invade, and the gangs have to take back the city block by block.

The guy behind him in the white t-shirt could be his brother.
I feel so sorry for my children to have to live in a culture such as ours is becoming. My 20 year old works in a pharmacy and she tells me stories of the rude, disgusting, defiant, and sometimes violent people who come off the nearby interstate highway into her store. Calling the police is a nearly daily occurrence and we live in the NorthWest portion of New Jersey, which is relatively rural compared to the rest of the state. I have purchased land in a remote area of a Western state and as soon as I can sell my home here we are getting out. I just have to hope this craziness is not universal in our country.
Waiting on Obama to give out more of his stash..
Where all the white women?
Or are they protecting the driver of the car stuck in the middle of that mob?
Is that Walmart in the distance?
Yeah, just imagine what riots will break out when the Obamacash is no longer available because the dollar crashed. Don’t be in the big cities when that happens.
Gangs...not a bunch of middle class white boys from Montana...it would be a theroretical discussions if “oppressed” minorties would join or defend their country from invaders. To quote Rick Blain when a Nazi asked him what he would think about Nazis taking over New York, “well there’s several places in the Bronx I would stay out of.”
I see; thank you for your clarification :-)
