Welcome to Atlanta-stan
« on: May 21, 2021, 05:51:39 PM »
If anyone is heading to Blade Show in Atlanta this June, I thought I'd share this statistic: Atlanta's murder rate now exceeds Chi-raq's.  Some cops I know say a goodly share of these seem to be gang initiations, particularly overpass shootings (i.e. bangers firing down into cars driving along the interstates). 
This article discusses the increased murder/crime rate, and note this is a liberal tv station reporting this.

With the murder rate climbing in all major metropolitan cites at a +30% rate year over year and the police retiring at a very high rate, I wonder when folks are going to start to take things into their own hands.

I read an article the other day that outlined how some communities in LA County are hiring their own security guards to patrol their streets in lieu of the LAPD.

Don't want to get all religious here however, the good Lord is bringing down a lot of troubles on our heads of late. From the President on down to the lowly gang-banger-want-to-be. Over the years we have certainly become a sinful nation not unlike Babylon. Revelation 18 1:24

    Who says they're not already taking things into their own hands?  There are many, many murders in urban areas that are never solved.  In Chicago, in 2020, the police only had a 41% success rate in solving murders, and back in 2016 the success rate was only 29%. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-chicago-police-murder-clearance-rate-budget-hearing-20201030-apfahxgngbg6hd3m6xwytiswye-story.html

   So in urban areas, where police are overwhelmed, and constrained politically, there's a high probability of getting away with murder.  A smart vigilante group could possibly clean up a neighborhood, but that might draw attention from gangs, which would be worse than drawing attention from the police.

    RB, I use to like Atlanta, back in the late 20th century.  I had to go there a few times on business, and back then it was a decent, relatively clean city.  Went to a Braves game, and went shopping etc., never had any problems, and never felt threatened.  I do remember traffic sucked, and if I remember correctly we used a loop to avoid downtown traffic a few times, passing through on the way to Florida.  I also remember flying in a couple of times, and the airport was efficient.  It's too bad the city has gone down hill.  It just goes to show you that urban areas in general, suck.
