Atlanta Burning

[alfsauve]

Atlanta isn't known for really being first place.  The Braves did take it all once, but basically we're more of an also ran city.   That goes for sports, the Olympic, the subway, and protests.

So our miscreants have decided that a Wendy's needed burning.  Not as good as the  Minneapolis torching, but then again, we're sort of an also ran.

And what did the owners, and the neighborhood do to deserve this?   A use of force that may have been questionable that started at the Windy's.  MAY HAVE, because all the facts aren't in.  Of course mobs don't care about facts.  Instant justice.

On a related note about mobs, there was a small side story about CHAZ where a crowd surrounded a suspected thief and was holding a kangaroo, mob court.   Not sure what justice would have been administered, but fortunately for the suspect at witness stepped up to clear him. 

ICORE Southern Regional is in 2 weeks in Shreveport.  Because IRC is cancelled this is turning into "the biggy" for the year.  Sponsors are jumping on board and looks like many prizes.  But after this, I'm not venturing into this foreign territory.   Not sure there's anything in Shreveport to take Miss Kitty to see either.    I'd also have to drive through several other municipalities to get there and just not taking the chance right now.

It would appear the, "Chocolate City" is preparing for a Summertime meltdown.

I wanted to burn Wendy’s when they pulled their “any size fries for $1” promotion. That’s more about the carbs talking than any perceived social injustice, though.

I finally saw the video of the guys interaction with police.  The dash, body cams and the camera frpm wendys.  100% good shoot.

Of course it was good.
They never riot unless the POS deserved it.
That cop better get his ass to free America though.

After he wins the wrongful termination suit against the PD, he'll be able to move where ever he wants.

Until the civil suit against him takes it all. You forgot OJ that quick ?
Same with the Rodney King cops and George Zimmerman.
Not Guilty but still screwed in the civil suits.

Tom's right here. Today if your neighbor trips on your sidewalk because of a crack you didn't fix, you could easily be in trouble financially in a civil suit. And there is zero guarantee the jury will only award the limit of your homeowners insurance. Liberals see this as just another way to, "redistribute wealth". This country has gone off the rails, and is completely mad.

You won't miss anything from Shreveport unless you want to see some B-52's flying in and out of the airbase.

I am going to bring this back up:  https://www.michaelbane.tv/forum/index.php?topic=33575.0 and  http://www.rimfirechallenge.org/rimfire-challenge-world-championship/ .

I'm thinking it's on MB's short list of filming ops.  Mike is wanting to go and I plan to as well.

One of my sister-in-laws called today and said they are expecting a fairly large group of 500+ (which is large for the size of Ocilla) demonstrating/protesting at the city courthouse square. There is a Civil War monument and a multi-war veterans memorial there. Also, they are going out in the county to the Jefferson Davis Historic park (where Jefferson Davis was captured) to protest there.

She talked with a deputy and he said they don't expect trouble, but all it takes is a match to light a fire and things could get lively.
