ATLANTA (AP) — An 8-year-old girl was shot and killed on the Fourth of July after at least two people in a crowd of armed people opened fire on a car she was riding in near a flash point of recent protests in Atlanta, authorities said Sunday.
The shooting happened near the Wendy’s restaurant where an African American man, Rayshard Brooks, was killed by an Atlanta police officer on June 12. The fast food outlet was later burned, and the area has since become a site for frequent demonstrations against police brutality.

You’re right we should ban guns in America so this type of thing never happens again. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront. Ridding our country of guns would stop police shootings and random shootings such as this. Ask those in other countries who banned guns how often their police shoot innocent men.

Logic, reasoning, facts, statistics, mass shootings, murder, none get through the thickness that is American's love of guns. The redneck gun lovers will someday be a relic of the past but not yet.hmmm666 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 3:13 pm You’re right we should ban guns in America so this type of thing never happens again.

I don’t think they know who did this yet, so that’s probably why the media hadn’t said it was protesters because it hasn’t been confirmed. Hopefully they’ll figure out who did this soon and bring this family some justice.
She was a beautiful girl and this is heartbreaking.

I didn't realize we are now calling thugs from the hood rednecks.

“Thugs from the hood” are the only people committing crimes and control the gun laws?Mommabearof2 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 6:18 amI didn't realize we are now calling thugs from the hood rednecks.

I don’t mind admitting that Black on Black crime is a serious problem but the issue with guns and gun reform isn’t strictly a Black problem.

How is it “obscured”? It sounds very factual to me. Were you there that you know exactly what happened?
That’s actually what a factual, non-biased source does- report the facts without making guesses, assumptions and implications. I guess you can’t recognize one since your definition of “factual” would be a source that tells you exactly what you want to hear.

Another dem mayor who has done nothing to quell the riots and rioters in her city. And she has the gall to criticize the governor for calling in the National Guard on Monday. If she won't do her job, then the Republican Governor will see that it gets done.
In the middle of June 8 cops had quit the force, and multitudes of cops have been walking out because of the Mayor's immediate firing of the two cops involved in the Rashard Brooks case. I'm sure she was very helpful to the DA who filed murder charges against the one cop.
