No, instead it's happening in the very center of the city literally in the middle of one of its most crowded and heavily policed events.

Gotta admit, Mr. TSQQST is kind of poetic. I've gotten about 4 reps today so I don't think they're all from him.

Who else is in the Superfriends? Do you have a Hall of Justice?
Super ATL-Man to Save the DAY at your SERVICE!!!!BE GONE!!YOU ville subterranean ATL-hater called "Bizarro-Atl".A creature so envious of the City of Atlanta,it grows stronger as he reads every negative thing that happens in the city.Before long the creature will reach 2feet TALL!!!

What can be done to stop this creature?It seems the creature shrinks and dies slowly when something from the universes is presented in front of him!It glows upon discovering it and it is the weapon that will save all Atlanta from this scourge !!Its called.......THE FACTS!!They expose him and destroys all his powers!!

Unfortunately he has the "Legion of Doom for Atlanta" to rep him.They are also Atlanta haters because they too could not make it and were defeated by ATL-MAN and his "League of Justice for Atlanta-Friends".

Maybe I am living in a time warp, but, yes, I would expect a civic gathering in a public place to be free of violent crime. I wouldn't attend or bring my family if I thought there was a danger of someone getting stabbed or attacked.

Like I say, I may be living in a time warp. But I refuse to accept the idea that you can get your throat cut at Five Points on New Years Eve as "the new normal." It may be a losing cause but I'll continue to protest against that as "just a fact of life" in a large cities. It doesn't have to be that way, nor do we simply need to shrug and say, "Eh, it happens everywhere."
