Atlanta Burning

[TAB]

Anything worth doing is worth doing to ridiculous excess.   
Did you get to use the deck gun ?   

no, just some of john brownings best... it .50 and 37 mm. I did see what happens with a 37mm hits some one.    Something i still see from time to time in my dreams.  Never saw the after math, but i did follow the tracer right up to impact.  It should also note that these guys did a bunch of other shit and 100% ask for it .  I dont remember the tonnage of cocaine  we recovered, but it was supposed to be 9 mill worth.   I do remember the boat was heavily  over loaded and it all started after the helicopter  spoted them and they thought it was in distress /taking on water.

Sounds like you rescued the sh!t out of them   

[PegLeg45]

Fixed.   

Not necessarily fixed.   

Some of the murdered cops are Black. Black cops murdered in ambush by Black thugs.
It seems Black lives don't matter when attached to a uniform.

Could be an interesting night in The ATL.    Seems some are trying to setup an autonomous zone around the Wendy's.  Pretty sure from reports they don't know what it means.   

Oh and they've arrested the alleged arsonist that allegedly torched the Wendy's, at least allegedly they arrested her.

Individuals, groups, mobs, media, and liberal leeches .... I mean politicians, will grab onto a word or phrase and over use it in and out of context until even the few who know what it meant can't figure it out.  I call it Wordgate.  Have you ever screamed at your TV for some ranting protester to define "systemic racism"?

So, the allegedly arrested the alleged adult, alleged female, alleged arsonist, of the alleged Wendy's?

No excitement last night.  Seems only a few thugs without popular support just out for their own gain.  Police removed all barricades and miscreants yesterday.  The neighborhood is back open.

Mean while the alleged woman, alleged girl friend of the alleged deceased, who aledgedly burned the aledged Wendy's, has alledgedly been released on bond.   Her attorney is claiming it was spontaneous combustion and she was just having some s'mores.

Alf,

How far from this stuff do you live? I live about an hour west of Boston and still think that’s too close!

I personally avoid the metro areas as much as possible but on occasion there’s no other option.

Tim, I live in Cobb County, Marietta, GA, which NNW of ATL.   It' almost exactly 15miles from my house to the the State Capital as the bullet flies.  17 miles to where the Wendy's is.

We've had demonstrations in Cobb, some fairly large ones, including a Juneteenth celebration in downtown Marietta.  All very peaceful with no problems. We're a fairly law abiding county (Kennesaw, which requires firearms ownership is in Cobb County) with a very, top-notch police department.    Cobb is one of a few counties that has a County Police for law enforcement and a separate Sheriff Dept, which runs the jail, serves warrants and provide court security.   The CCPD is a pretty heads up, well trained group.  There biggest problem seems that all surrounding departments want to steal our officers.  The county has, as part of the mutual aid agreements with other counties, a reimbursement agreement.  If another dept hires one of our officers in the first two years of duty then they have to reimburse us for the training.   I don't like that from a right-to-work standpoint, but it seems to work out okay.   While Cobb doesn't pay the most, I think there are a lot of other benefits for officers to stay.

So I sit in my urban subdivision, fairly comfortable that the chances are low I will personally be affected.  Like MB in his bunker, I'm insulated by distance and neighbors from most of the machinations of ATL. Not that I don't stay vigil and prepared.  Carry, even when I'm working in the yard.  Avoid places and times of likely unrest.   Etc.  etc..

Alf... I think it is about time you give up that shooting thing-a-ma-jig that goes round and round for something designed in the last century, if not this one...

Tim, You're fairly safe there.
You can't get a BJ in Boston right now.
All the C Sers are up here.   

From what I've been hearing, Atlanta seems to "get it".
They seem to be the only ones with any darned sense left.
 
If it were ME, I would strip the rest of the city to double the number of police patrols in trouble areas with drastically reduced restrictions on use of force , Throw a rock through a window = broken head . Crush the trouble makers brutally, and terrorize the sketchy.
At the same time I would provide aid to business' to rebuild there while addressing legitimate issues such as increased access to vocational training. Perhaps partnering with local industry to provide apprenticeships, or OJT programs.
You cannot rely on JUST carrots, or sticks. You need a balance of both. Help the ones who legitimately need a hand, and kill the ones getting in the way of that.
This isn't my genius, this tactic has worked since at least the Roman Republic if not earlier.
