from ajc:
the 'manhunt' footage you see on the news is misleading... Obama was a few blocks away at manuel's tavern. heavy police and secret service presence making sure this wasn't related.
haha, here's the rub though... as all these people move ITP raising property values and taking over former drug dens, all those problem people are getting displaced and moving OTP!!! been to marietta recently?
It's interesting, I talk to folks considering moving to ATL or wanting to come in town from OTP, and my general advice is avoid south of 20 and west of 75/85... basically, try to find something northeast. but even that can be misleading. there's pockets of crime all over the northeast as well...
damn shame what happened. the victim was actually armed, that's why he approached the truck, but didn't have an opportunity to draw.
prayers to his family.
