A Georgia mayor was arrested for breaking into a lake house he coveted and confronting the frightened homeowner while snarling, "Do you know who the f—k I am?" police and the victim say.
South Fulton
| ...the Blackest city in America, at least among those of 100,000+ population, it is both 90% Black and has a higher than average individual education and income, though that may change. Unwillingly incorporated in 2016 with a weak mayor system, the government has been ridden with strife from the beginning... Attempts to recruit or retain white residents have been largely unsuccessful. |

Kamau has declined to comment on the incident, instead choosing to praise the South Fulton Police Department for its quick intervention."I do want to thank the South Fulton police and the staff of officers for their courteous and professional service throughout the day," he told reporters as he later left jail.
The mayor told officers that he was on his way to a dog park when he stopped by the house, claiming it was his dream home and that he had hopes of purchasing it one day, according to the police report.
Kamau admitted to police that he was aware he was trespassing on the homeowner’s property, despite telling FOX 5 Atlanta he believed the home was "abandoned."
The homeowner, who has not been publicly identified, said he saw the mayor walk up his driveway and approach his lake house when he rushed to get dressed and called police from inside his truck.
The owner of the home then approached Kamau and held him at gunpoint until police arrived, warning the mayor to stay put, the report states.
"No, motherf—ker, you stay right there," the homeowner said, according to Kamau.
The mayor claimed that he apologized to the homeowner and explained who he was. When the homeowner warned him to wait for police, Kamau allegedly responded: "Are you going to shoot me while I’m walking away?"
The mayor was charged with criminal trespass and first-degree burglary and was booked in the Fulton County Jail on $11,000 bond before being released.
City officials said the investigation is ongoing and did not provide further details on the case.
"The city of South Fulton is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their position, are subject to the same fair and just treatment," officials said in a statement.

| Inspired by that, I discovered Hizzoner is a local boy, son of upper middle class professionals, who changed his name to khalid kamau without any capital letters when he was 18, claiming it was a Yoruba thing. Politically he comes out of the Bernie Bro end of the spectrum, and is proud to be the first BLM activist elected mayor. Though he does deeply resent that the city only pays $13,000 a year for the job, which does not allow him to live in the style of his parents — and he’d pledged to take no outside work, lest he be distracted from the cause.
