A real-world test of the old saw “A Conservative is a Liberal who’s been Mugged.” We’ll see (not holding my breath, though).

So, a warning for you. Do not talk on your IPhone as you walk down the street. Oh, and let go of the stupid device if someone tries to steal it.

Never mind holding on to the phone, this behavior will continue until people start getting capped in the a$$ trying it.

Because in Atlanta, Piedmont Avenue is the last street where no iPhone has ever been stolen. Now that avenue is tainted.

OTOH

"Police are investigating after a CNN anchor says she was robbed of her iPhone in midtown.

Maybe Carol Costello lied and the police are investigating her false accusation.

Are you serious?!!! she’s crying? LOL
I wonder what kind of juicy photos or messages are on her iPhone. iPhones are replaceable, photos are not. ROFL.

Must be a slow newsday today.

Her reaction would be irrelevant. Millions of other liberals would excuse the attacks on her behalf.

Lots of cellphone robberies in Atlanta because of new cellphone return kiosks.

I guess this officially makes her a “victim”. A status all liberals work hard to achieve.

What we need is a Cell Phone/I Pad with a built in gun.

Everyone laughed at C Gould when Dick Tracy had his ‘wristwatch phone’ back in the 40’s and 50’s...

Though I did ‘prefer’ Fearless Fosdick.

Obviously not the criminal's fault. Must be the anchor's fault. No, wait, event better... Let's apply gun-control logic to this:

Must be the iPhone's fault. Ban iPhones, or make law abiding citizens register them and have a permit for them... Limit their address books to 10 contacts... Yeah, that'll stop phone-crime!

LOL, right near my old place of business, and home.

This is right by Piedmont Park, in the "nice" part of Midtown.

And yes, if this had been you or me, it wouldn't have made the news.

The amount of violent crime in that neighborhood that I heard about from friends, employees and customers, that DIDN'T make the news, was shocking.

And hearing about that crime, and my experiences with ATL cops, is why I am now a gun nut.
