Stop hyperventilating. These losers don't amount to a hill of beans.

The more realistic answer is that the corporate media and the elites of Atlanta and Georgia was doing the usual suppressing of select coverage to maintain the image of a "City too busy to hate".

Georgia has enough trouble with the retarded goobers running the Capitol trying to pass throwback laws reminiscent of the bad ol' days.

No need to have another set of ignorant gomers in black fatigues & white robes at the same capitol on coast-to-coast television pushing their regressive agendas as well, I suppose.

The easy comparisons between the business attired regressives and the white robed regressives would make for a lot of laughs on national television.

Aww yes, good ol' state of Georgia.

Gotta love this state.
Ah ... so you think the "corporate media" and "elites of Atlanta" control what the local news industry puts on the air and prints in the paper?! Gotcha!

If that was the case, do you think the SNOW JAM 2014 debacle would have been front-page news and the lead story on every newscast in every city in the nation?!

PS -- I've got some really nice beachfront property in Buckhead to sell if you're interested!

No, but I'm just curious. I remember when I first moved to Georgia, they had a rally in downtown Ellijay, protesting the growing presence of Hispanic immigrants. I was wondering if it were along the same lines, or whether it has something to do with the state's approval of the new SCV plates or what.

Klansmen and Confederate org about downtown Chicago without getting shot at or beat down, or some other serious opposition just wouldn't fly lol.

They know where they can get away with that and where they can't.


BTW let's not act like this was something that everybody knew about that happened on a populated block in the middle of a busy day for hours. This happened early in the morning unannounced on the weekend in the deserted gov section of downtown with heavy police and security. It was so lowkey that the news didnt even know about it. Any group can do the same thing anywhere if they plan it right like they did. I guarantee they would not have did this 5 blocks north at 5 points 6 hours later when people were awake. I guarantee they would not have done this anywhere in Atlanta unannounced without any security with them. Anybody can act bad when dozens of police are guarding them. Lets see how bad they are to go to Bankhead, West End, 5 points, Vine city, etc with no security unannounced during the busy part of the day. If they are so bad why didn't they go to Atlantic Stations 6 hours later to the Beer and BBQ festival? Why didn't they ride down Old National Hwy that night? Why didn't they walk past that Waffle House outside of Underground Atlanta that evening unannounced? The Bluff? Don't act like they just showed up with open arms because this is the south. Anybody can show up on an empty block unannounced early on the weekend with heavy security and act bad

I'm not so sure about what you said about Chicago. Hate crimes and rallys have been all over Illinois

Because they are cowards and always have been, which is why they used to wear white hoods over their faces (until it was outlawed).

I know that but people that don't live here are thinking that everyone knew about this happening prior. They dont know that this was not broadcasted and nobody knew about it except for the people that happened to be in that area that morning. Even the news didnt know because they would have shown up.They are thinking how could this happen in Atlanta? They dont know it happened early in the morning on the weekend in an empty section of the city with lots of police for a few short mins. They were making it seem like they were walking for miles in the city with open arms.

BTW I'm not bumping up this thread anymore

The issue isn't whether or not hate groups exist or crimes take place in other parts of the country. We know it does.

A hate group meeting at a restaurant in a Chicago suburb is not the same as a hate group getting permission to hold a rally at the state capitol with capitol police and APD providing security to them, while telling young blacks who were recording it from the sidelines they had no right to be there and that they needed to leave the area or get arrested--on the heels of the state giving the option to put the confederate flag on license plates.
