- Brandon White, the 20-year-old victim of an anti-gay attack in Atlanta's Pittsburgh neighborhood, addresses the media
1. A group of men launched a senseless attack on a 20-year-old gay man outside a convenience store in Atlanta's Pittsburgh neighborhood — and which was caught on videotape.
2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has also taken a interest in the attack, which has garnered national headlines. If you have information, call the Atlanta Police.
3. In addition, Pittsburgh residents have apologized to Brandon White, the 20-year-old man who was attacked, and asked for the city and county to shut down the convenience store.
4. Doesn't "Ashford" sound like the name of a cigarette brand more than a new North DeKalb city?

In regards to the Brandon White story and the Pittsburgh residents, wouldn't make more sense to rid the neighborhood of those elements who hang out at the store than to close the store itself?
I used to hang pretty tough in Pittsburgh/Mechanicsville back in the day and there was far too much tolerated by the neighborhood and a hesitance in working with APD because of the Red Dog unit. Trust has to built between the residents and law enforcement in those areas.

Well, a few things but off hand, honesty and accountability. They would also have to come from all sides.
How was the Peachtree-Pine news not one of the most popular posts of the week?
Centennian,
Good question. The stats look at last Saturday through yesterday. The Peachtree-Pine post was actually one of the most viewed posts during that time period. But because it was published one day before I excluded it.
