Atlanta May Be Headed for a Final Divorce as Communities Nationwide Seek to Redraw the Lines

2021-06-17

[PJMEDIA] Buckhead, a portion of Atlanta, Georgia, is looking to break free from the rest of a city in rapid decline. After decades of increased safety that started ahead of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, it took one woman and a single summer to ruin it. Not even New York City Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio

...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
can beat Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’ time for running a city into the ground. It took de Blasio two terms. Bottoms has been so spectacular she’s announced she won’t even run for a second one.

As a result of her rank incompetence, Buckhead, a wealthier section of Atlanta with about 100,000 residents, has decided to control its own destiny. There are two bills in the state legislature to affect the split, and the group has raised the required amount of money to move forward. Buckhead is petitioning to become wholly independent and establish and enlarge their own police force under different leadership.

Tucker Carlson interviewed Bill White, the leader of the movement to create an independent Buckhead. White told Tucker that residents feel as if they are living in a war zone. They are filing for divorce, according to White, and it will be final. He expects there will be an initiative on the ballot in 2022. If it is successful, Atlanta will lose at least 20% of its tax base.

Carlson described the rise in crime during his monologue. Two recent assaults include a man shot while jogging by an unknown assailant in a residential neighborhood and the stabbing of a pregnant woman on a walking trail in broad daylight. Her baby had to be delivered three months early. Neither victim was robbed, just ~~violent~~ mostly peacefully assaulted.

#10 The elite universities are showing the way. Now Harvard Yake Princeton etc have separate ceremonies, separate tribal designators (African Kente cloth scarves), and soon separate diplomas for terror Wakandan "graduates."

Separate institutions.
Separate credentials (degrees in this case)
Separate regulations and separate legal regimes soon to come.

So why not just SEPARATE altogether?

#9 ^ not the same currency. Let the left follow Zimbob into hyper-inflation

New currency: the FLOYD. Equivalent to 1/1000th of a Powell

#8 Not the same currency. Let the left follow Zimbob into hyper-inflation without pulling the rest of us down with them.

#7 Can we have a soft secession?

No war but one currency, market & military with separate institutions, separate societies, separate legal spheres?

#6 #4 - "May retain their traditional tax base, regardless of whether they provide adequate (or any) services"

#5 Interesting.

See if they get the West Berlin treatment. Petty shit, but effective, like lowing the speed limit to 20mph, setting up traffic cameras galore, and ending police patrols around the perimeter.

#4 The Dems next policy position will be allowing cities to tax neighboring suburbs.

Sucks to lose property that pays taxes but uses few city resources.

#2 The patient is terminal. An "independent Buckhead" is little more than morphine on a drip.

Divide & Conquer, Left and its strategy for disunity.
Remember what ever a Leftist says or supports, you should consider they want the opposite to gain for their ultimate goal - conquer and rule, by their rules, not the law.
