Atlanta city council members have proposed a $1.6million plan to create a private police force in one of its wealthiest suburbs just days after a seven-year-old girl was fatally shot by a stray bullet.
Kennedy Maxie died from her injuries on Saturday night, five days after she was shot in the back of the head while riding in a car with her aunt and mother in Buckhead, Georgia.
The young girl had just finished Christmas shopping with her family at the Phipps Plaza mall in the affluent Atlanta suburb, also known as the 'Beverly Hills of the East,' when several men in a nearby parking lot got into a fight that led to gunfire.

Very retro
Well, the mall is anchored by a Saks Fifth Avenue and a Nordstroms has mostly upscale stores not found within hundreds of miles of Atlanta such as Tiffany & Co., Cole Haan, Gucci, and Bally.
It's a very nice mall.
And then from my understanding, they decided to built a MARTA route from the 'hood to the mall and to the surprise of no one, crime and thuggery arrived.
Buckhead..
Yet it’s moot, because this adorable little girl was black!
I can’t help but notice black children’s lives don’t matter. They get shot in the crossfire all the time, often due to relatives being involved in drug wars, but the best anyone can muster is a candle-light vigil one night. That’s it.
No demonstrations, no demands to police or mayors to do something more about these thugs, and CERTAINLY no national organization and movement, complete with angry mobs rioting.
The INNOCENT children don’t deserve all that attention. Only GUILTY thugs do.
That tells me right there it is driven by thugs angry that they can’t overly easily go on thugging.
Apparently very, but this girl was black!
Another black person who won’t be eulogized and romanticized for a whole year or more. Who won’t get multiple funerals over the whole country televised and mobs there violating the alleged COVID orders.
Maybe try enforcing THE LAW and arresting those that violate them?
“How white is this suburb?”
Not. It’s mostly fancy blacks. Any whites in that area are very liberal.
Probably where all the rich rappers, hip hop artists, and athletes live.
When they ran the rail out there from the hood is when that area went downhill. Everybody knows it. The ATL is really a $h**T hole of a place. Glad I got outta there. Who wants to live in a place like that?
9 out od 10 cities that hosted the BLM movement doesn’t know how to stop crime wave.
You get what you elect.
I hadn’t been to DC in about 30 years when I went for a biz meeting back in like 2006.
Walking around was dizzying. All I could think of was, “so this is where the money goes to”. Buildings with gold guilding, streets with brick pavers...it’s Oz downtown.
But then you drive a few miles toward the outer ring and...povertyville. Lotsa sinister looking types hangin’ out. Don’t park the car...
Lovely future for America. It’s like Mexico City: the area known as Polanco is beautiful, it’s where all the Major Dudes live. The narcos, the government jefes...surrounded by shantys. People selling orange juice in the streets just to survive.
Not what America was supposed to look like.
They are about to nationalize the police. This will be a private police force for the rich.
The wealthy and well connected are generally always protected in the U.S.
The rest of you can eat s**t and you should feel fortunate they haven’t criminalized self defense yet.
Rappers?
Mayor, you don’t know how to stop crime? You don’t DEFUND the POLICE, you moronic idiot! You HIRE more POLICE and give the POLICE powers to arrest CRIMINALS. Any questions?
She knows how.
The woman is an idiot! All she needs to do is pick up the phone and call Rudy Giuliani and ask him how he cleaned up New York, which has now all gone to hell under "Commissar Bill DeMarixo."
1. Tough hard but honest cops as needed. Bad cops fired and if criminal prosecuted. Support the good cops and pay them well.
2. No tolerance for crime.
3. Minor crime give sure but short punishment, the next time we kick you ass in jail for a long time.
4. No privilege is to be given to any race base on their color or lack of color.
5. Make damn sure good prosecutors that are fair and firm be elected or appointed.
Keisha it really that simple. I will not charge you a consultant fee for this advice and will even pay for the phone call to Rudy Giuliani.
At one level the majority of the voters there want this pathetic display of idiocy. More popcorn!
The worst nightmare the Democrat Party has is to elevate the poor and government dependent (black, brown, red, and white) out of poverty.
If such happens many if not most will not vote democrat. The white liberal elite will always vote democrat as they are extremely educated idiots with little logical thought processes and most importantly no knowledge of history.
I am quite educated with several degrees in sciences. My best education was at the hands of Francis LeBlanc. He was the driller on my oil rig. I was an 18 year old kid trying to make money for college. Francis was harsh but fair. He would fire you in an instant if you did not do your job. I worked for Francis and Johnny Robocheaux to make money to go to college.
It was odd, Francis and Johnny had little education past the 8th grade. This was South Louisiana in the mid 60s. They took many kids on the rigs to work as myself. They wanted us to have the opportunities they did not. The jobs they gave us and the money from such to pay for college was the opportunity. About half of us seized the opportunity and the other half did go on to have damn good jobs in the oilfield.
The rig I worked on as a kid provided two pharmacists from my graduating class, one of which was I. Also two doctors and one other pharmacist but not from my rig. They worked elsewhere in the oilfield but were my classmates in high school in 1966.
Is not America Great?
