When the 2020 protests in ATL began to turn violent; Mayor Bottoms immediately came out & said "we're not going to stand for this" and started cracking down hard. At the START...and it was working.
But then "community leaders" went to her and complained about being heavy handed & she caved The city then had people again turn violent, buildings burn & a child KILLED. She didnt run for reelection.
We will see nothing but those pictures in the coming ads for Nov.
