Armed protesters 'take over' Atlanta Wendy's parking lot where Rayshard Brooks was killed, reports say

Armed protesters stood guard on Tuesday at an Atlanta-area Wendy's, the site where Rayshard Brooks, a black man shot twice in the back by an Atlanta police officer, died earlier this month.

Earlier in the day, a group of people had "taken over" the burned-out property in South Atlanta, according to local reports.

People living in the area also have complained that the protesters who remained were no longer peaceful, but instead were using the space for their own gain and at times blocking people on the street from getting by.

They claimed the Atlanta police weren't doing much to solve the problem, making life for those living in the neighborhood a living nightmare.

"My husband literally just missed getting caught in the crossfire when he was on his way home," Kimberlee Jones told WXIA. "People have been shot and have been hurt."

FOX News editor, in English, what do you call “armed protestors” who “take over” public property?

Celebrants of the New Summer of Love.

Funny thing. To START a civil war with burning down Atlanta. Last time that came in towards the end.

“Is it a black neighborhood.? “


Despite all appearances I’ll bet that most black residents are sick of this crap. But they dare not raise their voices.

I hope Wendy’s has no plans to rebuild their burned out restaurant.

Put a fence around it and keep them in there. No food, no water. See how long they last.

Yes, this is in John Lewis’s 5th congressional district. The one Donald Trump was criticized for calling a failure and a dump.
