We're just in this national vice-grip of crisis that goes on and on and on and on.

Trying to decide what to do to stop the spread of COVID, and children and others being gunned down in public in some areas, including Georgia.

It's a pretty short article. The strategy appears to be:

The governor's statement says the National Guard will "provide support" at state buildings like the Capitol and the Governor's Mansion so state police can increase patrols.

Well it's about time.

Too bad it took BLM killing an eight year old girl for her to do it.

That’s what we need in all cities: the National Guard to provide protection to the local police as they arrest the BLM-inspired looters, arsonists and now, killers.

I agree. Kemp goes on to say this:

"Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead," Kemp said in a statement. "This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city."

I think anyone who is sane would agree with what he's saying and doing.

Pretty sad the Atlanta mayor was more interested marching with the rioters than defending the city from the criminals and saving an 8 year old child.

Ok, I guess that's "something".

Now she has Covid. Anybody saying protests aren’t increasing Covid cases are insane.

Excerpt: Citing violent crime in Atlanta, Georgia governor declares state of emergency and calls up National Guard

Response:
You bring firemen to where the fire is not where there is no fire....so if the National Guard needs to go to Georgia so be it.
The communities within Georgia where the violence is taking place have only themselves to blame. Can't blame the cops anymore..........
