Why does the "All White Media" (awm) continue to report bad happenings at mostly black night club establishments and not report anything bad at white owned places???? I know most of you will laugh at my sarcasm.............

The Hallmark Creations store is a 'mostly black establishment'??
Only the truth did say night club establishments. ?But, maybe nothing happens at other clubs.
Here we go again!!! Someone firing 13 shots, I wouldn't care what color the establishment hosts.
What was that law about carrying a weapon where alcohol is sold? And what on earth was he shooting at that he could not hit with 13 shots? And on that note, what was the clip capacity of that weapon, or did he reload?
Darn Fort Gordon NCOs! Isn't this the 3rd gun related incident within a month that involved a Fort Gordon Soldier? The NCO shooting through a car door at Cream, because someone dinged his car. The Soldier with a gun in his pants at 1102 Bar and Grill. Now this idiot.
I guess this is the result of relaxed recruiting standards and early promotions.
The young guys in the military are always at a high stress level, I'm shocked there aren't more incidents locally....
Members of the armed forces do not need a permit to carry a weapon in GA. They are exempt from most GA gun laws, and can carry a weapon anywhere the police are allowed to carry. But that does not excuse lawless and irresponsible actions like the illegal discharge of firearms within city limits. They will pay the price for that...
What? Where did you get that Hep? Military weapons are locked up in an arms rooms. Personal weapons use is subject to local law.
THERE SHOULD BE LAWS THAT DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY (BLACK OR WHITE) TO CARRY GUNS IN A BAR. When these idiots drink they beome stupid and this is what happens. I am very sorry his car was picked to be broken into. Don't go to BARS --GO TO CHURCH -- everyone should have a license to carry weapons, military or not.
this is CRAZY
John, read the Concealed Carry Law for GA. It states that Military Service members are expempt from being requred a permit to carry. Although I wouldn't try it myself.
"Under Georgia law, active duty military personnel are exempted from the requirement of a firearms permit. The exemption is not limited to the performance of military duty.
Somebody need to take a belt to Candice Denise Kelly. How dare she beat a 3yo like that. That 3yo couldnt have done anything to deserve such a beating. There are people in this world that would give anything to have a child and here we have people that just abuse them. GIVE THEM UP IF YOU WANT TO ABUSE THEM!!!!! These babies doesn't deserve it and you don't deserve them.
Is it illegal to spank your kids with a belt in Richmond County?
It's not spanking when you hit the kid in the face.
Danielle, reasonable disciple can be done with a belt. You can cause as much or more damage with your hand as with a belt. I do agree with Catchygirl though. Somebody should show her what it feels like to be beat.
Please tell me if I'm wrong, but I thought the most recent amendment to GA's concealed carry law specifically authorized that concealed weapons permit holders could carry their weapons in places where alcohol is served.
I believe that was restaurants, not night clubs. Then again, I didn't read it.
LL - You are partly right. The new law will allow people who have a Georgia Firearms License to carry a gun to restaurants that serve alcohol, if 51% or more of their sales are not from alcohol. So that means bars are still off limits. But, this restriction does not apply to members of the armed services, off duty police officers, judges or district attorneys. They are all allowed to carry in the same places that criminals do. This makes it easier for them to protect themselves from those who might do them harm. Normal GA citizens are not that important, and must be at the mercy of the gun toting criminals. These restrictive gun laws have the added benefit of providing for job security for the previously mentioned elite members of society (police, judges & DAs) by ensuring the criminals have a safe, defensless supply of victims to prey upon.
Onlythetruth, UUUUUUUU know who and UUUUUUUU know why. LOL!
