In an impassioned press conference Sunday night, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued a full-throated call for citizens to stop "shooting each other up on our streets," after an eight-year-old girl was shot and killed on the Fourth of July near a Wendy's that has become a flashpoint of anti-police Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in the city.
Bottoms, a Democrat who is considered a potential running mate for Joe Biden, made the remarks as she fought through tears -- and the nation endured a new bout of urban carnage.

When does this stop?
It was not a Trump supporter who shot and killed this child.
It was not a Conservative who shot and killed her.
Police your own and stop this madness. Children are dying!
BLM is Marxist and evil and destroys anything and everything in its path.

Don't fight back tears, Ms. Mayor. Fight back the mob. Eventually, they will be coming for you!

This is all on KButts. Had she not thrown her police department under the bus there would have been no gunman on the streets. She played to mob much like the mayor of Baltimore who gave the mob room to riot. Like all of her kind she will try to shift the responsibility of this to someone or something else

Thanks #1, now I have to think of something else to say! How about "Stop or I'll say stop again!"
Here's a question for you Keisha: When is the last time somebody with a job shot a child on the street? When is the last time somebody raised with their father in the house who incidentally had a job shot a child in the street?
As Eric Holder said we are too cowardly to have that talk aren't we. That is what you meant right Eric?
Eliminate welfare as we know it. Healthy working age people need to haul their backsides out of bed every morning and show up do do something. It could be classes on how to be productive, actual sustenance farming, the manufacture of products that could be donated as our foreign aid so we don't kill American jobs, anything. Show up to be fed, don't show up no food. Play by the same rules that apply to those to whom you turn for your support. It's a cruel world where you have to lift your own fork to get a bite.

We all know that before the day is over, we'll hear how it was President Trumps racist talk that caused this uptick in killings.

So she says "we" will clear the area. I'm sure she means herself and other politicians, right? Of course not! I think she means to send her police force back in there to do the job! Hey, that's what they get paid for! Praying for police all over the U.S.! But especially for those guys going to that Wendy's today....Or whenever she plans to send them!

Do these people think that when they are in a socialist or communist state that everything is given to them? Look at history. The people in the USSR were told what their job was, moved to where needed including Siberia. If they didn't work, they were conveniently dispensed with. How many Blacks lived in the USSR? How many Blacks hold office in Venezuela or Cuba?

When you imply that people can be "a little bit" lawless, it's kinda difficult to control isn't it?

#13, I think you’re thinking of II Thess 3:10-13.
A simple, but profound, truth.

One of the best decisions I've ever made was to move far away from Atlanta, Ga. after having lived there for over 20 years. It actually used to be a nice place to live, if you can believe that.

Obviously, Bottoms has no idea how to properly scold the "little bit lawless" to walk the straight and narrow. I suggest she contact the Queen of Scold herself so she can get the "How dare you's" down pat. That'll learn 'em!

Good questions OP, and they need to be asked. Especially about PP. So much death and destruction among the black community, most of it caused by themselves.

When The Community decides shooting others is not acceptable, it will end. The Community hasn't reached that decision. One wonders whether it ever will. You know that, Mayor. I would challenge anyone to show me A Community anywhere where murder and mayhem are not regular slices of life. Life is held cheap in The Community.

I don't think the mayor has the power to stop them. She has two choices neither of which will work.
1. Ask them to start playing nice.
2. Or ask the police to go in and use force and face criminal charges and even murder raps.

Definition of white privilege: become educated, find a job to work hard in, raise a family in a home of your choice. Instead of condemning whites maybe blacks should try black privilege get a job and stay off the streets. Most of the woes in this country right now you can paint a black face on it because it's not my fault. The grievance crowd is going to ruin an entire race of people and the mayor can fight back all the tears she wants but she is part of the problem when you throw you police department under the bus.

Again, there is a culture of violence in the black community that no one wants to address. Its there in plain sight, but nobody can see it. They ignore it and want us to believe its not there. Colin K doesn't see it, LeBron James doesn't see it either. Why, because these poor innocent kids being shot and killed every weekend are considered collateral damage. That's how sick BLM, and the communist democrats are. George Floyd is dead and buried, the cop that killed him is in jail. Get over it and move on. Got it.

Finally, somebody said it so it will all stop today.
These people care nothing about the lives of others because only their own selfish, worthless lives matter. When you hate yourself that much that's all that consumes you. An eight-year-old-girl is just another place to put a bullet. A woman is just another vessel to create a baby so it can be aborted in a few months. How can your life matter if the entire culture is defective? America chose the wrong team here.

The father says repeatedly ‘you shot one of your own’. Would it have been ok if she had been an 8 year old white child? Would the mayor be weeping? Would she suddenly be clearing the area?

You're not safe in a city with a mayor named Keisha.

If the police really wanted black people to die or be killed, all they would have to do is stop responding to calls from black neighborhoods.

Another stupid leftist, getting kicked in the head by reality.
Please, Mizz Mayor, get on with your 'get rid of the police' stuff. I say 'stop talking about it, DO IT!' Be 'brave', be 'progressive'......be stupid.
Shut down the police for a month or two. See how that works out for you.

Black lives do matter-so do white lives, Asian lives, Indian lives, etc. To say (in caps) that BLACK LIVES MATTER implies that by and large, people really don't think that, which is absurd. But what BLM does has nothing to do with protecting black lives-how can it, when so many blacks die every day at the hands of other blacks, while the police actually save black lives! 9 blacks shot by cops in all the USA is not a genocide, but the way that people allow themselves to be manipulated by the MSM you'd think thousands were targeted by the cops. In this respect, the cops need no help-blacks are doing just fine killing themselves....and we haven't even mentioned how many more blacks die due to Planned Parenthood every year. Now THERE is a true genocide-how come BLM doesn't take on Planned Parenthood? Because to BLM, black lives don't matter.
