Rape in Atlanta soared by 236% and murder by 43% in 2022 compared to the same time last year after a woke city mayor and pandemic lockdowns sent crime soaring
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Statistics released by the Atlanta Police Department show homicides are up 43% compared to the same time period in 2021

  • Rapes are also up 236%, burglaries are up 18% and shoplifting cases are up 4%

  • The increase in crime has led residents of Atlanta's wealthy Buckhead neighborhood to try to secede from the city

  • The Buckhead City Committee wanted to create their own police department to fight the rising crime

  • The efforts were quashed earlier this month when officials expressed their opposition to the secession efforts

  • Meanwhile, Mayor Andre Dickens has pledged to fight the rising crime with new technology and more police officers
