John Reynolds 11 months agoNice video. Thanks for putting this up and a big thank you to everyone involved in bringing attention to what's been going on here in Atlanta. The problems wont go away on their own. We all have to come together and take a stand. -
Phyllis Colmar 10 months agoWhile we were working outside on our house with several people in both the front and back yard, three criminals drove up in my neighbors driveway, kicked the door in, ran in and pulled the flat screen television off the wall brackets, ran out while we yelled at them. They drove off in a stolen truck. This was on Rocky Ford Rd. in Kirkwood and it happened to a bunch more people in the neighborhood. Thank goodness no one has been hurt but it is obvious the criminals are way ahead of the police. I do not know what the long term answers are but in the short term I am considering a gun. I will also be retiring to another country as soon as I can sell my house for a descent price. I fear this is just the tip of the ice burg. Our city leaders have fiddled while Rome burns. If you hear a popping sound it the heads of politicians being pulled out of their a##'s.
