Yeah, they're just agent of chaos and it really has to stop. Atlanta should not be going through this given that the Lloyd thing didn't happen here (the chaos).

Was much more than just 2 cars on fire and it wasn’t confined. It went on for blocks and was all downtown. Total destruction of the college football hall of fame, CNN, Starbucks, McCormick & Schmicks, Ruth Chris steakhouse and more. This was a straight up riot and denying such is trolling and false information. Hopefully you will watch the local news in the morning and see the destruction yourself.

All of that is very close to Centennial Olympic Park. You are the one who appears to be spreading fake news. You sound like CNN.

Channel 2 reporting well over 20 business damaged or looted. Chick fil a also had their windows smashed. It is a whole row of businesses all the way down several blocks. Are you telling me this was just a contained protest and not a riot? Better question have you even been watching the news tonight. Doesn’t sound like it.

The bolded is a flat out lie, at this point you're just making things up.

The fact they just got 100s of people to lenox now shows this had to be coordinated. It was obviously two different groups because the same group from downtown couldn’t have made their way over there that easily

You didn’t bold anything. What is a lie? Do you want a list of all the businesses that were destroyed tonight? They are literally reading them off on the news right this second.

You didn’t understand. He said it must have spread outside the downtown area. I said no, it was all downtown meaning the damage was in the downtown area and not spread. I was NOT saying it was the whole downtown on fire. Do you understand this?

I support peaceful protests but it sounds like the antisocial elements have found early Christmas in these protests and turned them into riots and loots.. ATL police are handling the situation really well though..
