I'd say something, but there was a murder in my neighborhood about 10 years ago.  :sleep:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The actual downtown/midtown area is where the homeless people congregate, and that is where I'm discussing. Places like Buckhead and the Virginia Highlands are safe.

That said, about 15 years ago I got an apartment in Buckhead--a good complex in a gated community. About a week after moving in, I'm going to bed about 3AM, and hear a bunch of gunshots. What happened was a few nights earlier, a rapper that lived in my complex got into an argument at a club. She had since gone to the Caribbean for a vacation, but the goofballs she was arguing with didn't know that. So they snuck in behind another car to get into the complex, and waited on her to show up. The saw a limo coming in, figured it must be her, and shot it up. It turned out it was a limo full of nurses that were just celebrating a birthday party. I don't remember how many of them died.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

None of them.

I found news articles and you seem to be right...but how do you know?

Also, it may not have been the rapper angle I said that motivated the shooting.

I'm actually intrigued by how DGuller knows....does he remember me posting about it a dozen or so years ago? Or did he google the incident from the scant info I provided?

His company provides life insurance for the nurses' union in Atlanta.

Is the increased activity on site today, because it's a workday in the USofA ?

I received an email "from" Bush-41 with a link to this:

I've read that Poppy Bush was going to help fundraise this election cycle.

Hell, I'd buy the socks if it was for charity.

I think Bush 41 should try to run for the Rep nomination again. He will do better than any of these new GOP Clowns.

Those are the articles I found...the first being the initial story similar to what I conveyed, the second saying my rapper neighbor wasn't the target.
