Atlanta Continues to Devolve: 8-year-old Shot to Death during Violent July 4th

[KOUNTERPARTS]

The city in which I reside continues to devolve into a realm of terror and lunacy.


8-year-old shot to death during violent night in Atlanta

An 8-year-old girl died after she was shot during a night of violence across metro Atlanta.

The shooting occurred just before 10 p.m. on University Avenue near I-75/85. The shooting happened in the same area as the deadly shooting death of Rayshard Brooks by a former Atlanta Police officer last month.

According to police, the child was riding in a car with her mom and an adult friend when car exited the interstate near the intersection of University Avenue and Pryor Road. Police said the driver was attempting to enter the parking lot on the 1200 block of Pryor Road when they were confronted by a group of armed individuals who were blocking the entrance.

Someone in the group began shooting at the car, hitting it multiple times including the shot that hit the child.

The wounded girl was immediately taken to Atlanta Medical Center in a private vehicle, but she did not survive her injuries.

For those unaware, last month in Atlanta there was a case of the police shooting and killing Rayshard Brooks (the officers in question have since been fired, charged with murder, and the police chief has resigned). On top of people in the city already protesting in wake of George Floyd's murder, this shooting of Rayshard Brooks ignited the city into even more chaos. The circumstances as to the what, when, where, and why of this shooting is still being talked about so here is an article for those who want to read up on it.


Atlanta is seeing nightly protests as many other cities around the nation are. Violence is escalating nightly and now, seemingly, those who come off either as being protestors and/or rioters are ramping up with shootings like this.


EDIT: I'm not going to sit here and ask "what can be done?" because I don't think there is one solution to fix all. But at which point does a community on any scale (small town, large city) have to be broken down completely before being able to stabilize?


Are we going to start seeing more communities/towns/cities begin tearing themselves apart more? It seems that violence is starting to increase on all fronts.

Just the Democrat-run cities descending into chaos and anarchy while the mayors do nothing at all to stop it.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Nothing in the article points to the shooting having any thing to do with protesters or rioters.

Yep pretty much. Get rid of that useless mayor for a start.

Odd, why is it that mostly white urban cities have similar crime rates that aren't run by democrats?

I take it you think what we need are more white nationalist cops itching to kill brown people and championing the civil war?

[Kasierith]

It is absolutely horrible that this happened, but as of this point I don't see compelling information that this was the work of armed protesters. The statement from the police seems to be that they do not have verifiable information on the suspects to release to the public at this time. We need to stop jumping immediately to conclusions, on both sides.

I guess if you can't answer the demands of the protestors or don't even want to do so, the only option left is to demonize them, create them into the enemy of the public. Pretty much in line with trumps latest ramblings.

[Bryntrollian]

After seeing this from 2 weeks ago, they sound like more of a " CHAZ " sort of group. That would make sense why the police haven't commented on the specifics, especially when we take into account the sort of people who are being targeted.

And that of every autocracy.

Sorry, you wont see much empathy from the usual suspects here. This particular life doesn't matter to them, it doesn't fit into their narrative. Have it been a thug murdered by a policemen we'd have been at page 15, minimum. But this one is a thugs murdering people who had nothing to do with that and here already have them to asspull a racial topic and even blame trump

Pretty much in line with trumps latest ramblings.

yeah sure, must be assassins sent by Trump, most likely with Russian bounty being involved

Resident racists and eighth wing boot licking autocrats have nothing to say of children killed by police.

Yet they latch on to every other crime so they can go “seee!!“

You lot do not give a fuck.

That's not what i said, i was speaking of demonizing the protestors by making all of them "dangerous" people what is a misrepresentation and tactic often used by regimes with autocratic tendencies.

So you might want to save your Russian victim complex for another time, if you wish i can draw parallels to something comparable to Russia and Putin's party if you really wish to have something to cry about.

though explained to you countless times to the point that you should know with all that water passing under your bridge

people protest about the police because the police are expected to work to a higher standard

some criminal, people will wait to see if the crime is handled professionally and within the law, or not

hmm its almost like all this rambling and you know little of the city you are actually talking about. Just seem to be stoking the divide.

Last year in the same few days:

14 shot in 48 hours in suspected gang violence in Atlanta


hmm, I guess there was nightly protest last year too? Police shooting last year? Liburals something something?

Damn that is a long "devolve into a realm of terror and lunacy"


You could check out 2018 too

Yaaaawwnnnnn…..Got anything else on this age old false statement?

ALL Black Lives Matter

[Soliloque]

Defund and demoralize law and order while making up excuses, condoning and endorsing lawlessness, rioting and irresponsibility.
Hardly a surprise something like this happened and will continue to happen, especially given how those morons are going around armed.
That mayor is a travesty.

That's not what i said, i was speaking of demonizing the protestors by making all of them "dangerous" people.

See, that's exactly how the tactic works.
When you have a "dangerous group" at hand you'll never see it 100% made of armed, violent people. That's just not how it goes.
What you'll have instead is a group of mostly peaceful people but who display the same clothing, masks and slogans as those fewer violent arms within them, clumping around providing cover and protection.

The moment something happens, everyone flees and those fewer violent actors are no longer identifiable in the mass of "peaceful" protesters.
It's the very reason why the groups organizers always repeat to "come wearing all black" or "come all wearing samey masks".
It's so the non-active dangerous majority can provide cover for the active, dangerous minority.

So long they're together it's no demonizing to classify the whole group as dangerous, both those providing cover and those making use of the cover.

Your mind is riddled with conspiracy theories, instead of looking what is happening and those condemning the violence of rioters where the people protesting themselves are distancing themselves from them you are building some odd reality where this is all planned. Unable to explain why the vast majority of protests barely have any violence.

It is your choice however to do so, confirmation bias is mechanism of the mind for those unwilling to challenge their believes.

the obvious choice would b ofc to just dissolve whole police force in city and let BLM protesters to take over .

it would end up in peace

seems like obvious solution

unlike for example just let in military into city and lets them deal with protesters in 1 day .

Atlanta Private school’s spring break is so bad down here we plan for it by having a wagon to fill up with kids because you can’t make that many trips back to the police station.

So I would agree for different reasons than implied.
