Protesters set fire Saturday to the Atlanta Wendy’s where, the night before, a black suspect was shot dead as he fired at two white cops with a stolen police Taser.

Angry crowds protesting the racially charged shooting of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old father of four from Atlanta, also shut down an interstate highway.

Crowds of several hundred had gathered outside the fast-food restaurant all day Saturday, but began breaking windows of the establishment after sunset, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

A fire started inside at around 9:30 pm., according to the paper.

As smoke billowed from the restaurant, some protest organizers encouraged demonstrators to go home, but police moved in to make arrests, the outlet reported.

Brooks was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer during a struggle after he failed a sobriety test in the Wendy’s parking lot.

These “evil white kids” are stupid but useful idiots and they don’t even realize they’re being used. I also find them more disgusting than the blacks involved in these incidents.

Is there any question that these people are mentally retarded or are simply “rage beasts” without a rational thought in their minds.

No more jr. bacon cheeseburgers for them.

Guess that half-million dollar check Wendy’s sent to BLM didn’t help.

They can collect unemployment now.

" Let these animals take and burn them all to the ground."

Or our elected could act (like adults)as these citizens did.

"All of this could have been avoided if the police had not wasted 24 minutes of useless questioning of Brooks. Cops should have taken 5 minutes of questioning, sobriety tests and then arrested him for DUI. "

Since he was actually sleeping in the car rather than driving it (until they woke him to move it), it seems to me that just getting him home to sleep it off would have sufficed.

Were they forced to follow some kind of protocol that made it take that long, like having to check off 100 questions or something just to be able to arrest him?

They think it’s cool to resist. They think it’s cool to fight back against the law. They hate Whitey. They are the racists. They refuse to look in the mirror and try to fix their problems, but instead deflect them & project them on others.

It all ties in with Antifa and RevCom via "Black Liberation Theology". In short, every facet of this mess is linked to Communist ideology and its subversive agents (sometimes known as "community organizers").

Being a rebel has always been portrayed as “Cool”.

Racist fire department was called to put out the fire. Defund the fire department.

Democrat’s self-rightous slogan: Burn, Baby, Burn!

Wasn’t that a Black Slogan during the Watts Riots in 1965?

The word I got is Wendys is big BLM supporter...if true then they got what they deserve. I'm sick of these big corps taking our money and then stabbing us in the back!!!

Why does the headline say "Protesters" and not "Arsonists"?

[Brown Deer]

The word I got is Wendys is big BLM supporter...

Probably, most Wendy's that I go to have mostly black employees and I wouldn't doubt that a black person owns the Wendy's that the arsonists burned down.

Wendy is known to be racist.
