Found this in regards to Atlanta's crime statistics. I cannot find a date that it was posted:

Reported Annual Crime in Atlanta

The site these statistics is posted is areavibes, which gives the livability in specific areas. For Atlanta, it gives Crime and Employment an "F."

I’ve lived in the city proper and the metro area for almost 40 years. When was it true?

What has Lewis done the last 50 years? Getting his ass kicked in the 60’s-ok. Fine. Resting on his laurels. I’m waiting for the fat one from Tx. to pick a fight. Jackson Lee?

Note that four out of those five organizations would not exist without Lewis bringing home the taxpayer bacon, even if it is as simple as federal student loans. But we know each of those hold various grants providing funding of various kinds so the federal largesse is flowing deep and wide is Lewis’ district.

Lewis had his head busted during a civil rights march back in the 1950s and 60s, by a Southern Democratic controlled police force.
The “attitude adjustment” worked. He is now the lap dog of the Democratic Party in the South. “Sit! Roll over! Play dead! Bark!” See how good he minds his Democratic masters!

Lewis carried the water for Hillary during the Benghazi hearings and stalled the Congressmen from getting to the bottom of the lies spun by the administration and the State department. I sincerely think Lewis is in some kind of ethical or financial trouble and is needing this to deflect attention from another aspect of his life. This is the MO for the black politicians.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution took pictures of our reenactment group giving demonstrations at Kennesaw Mountain NMP 1991. We made the front page the next day and beneath the pictures of our group was a large article about the KKK. No manipulation of the truth here...

Lewis's district is crime infested.

That's for Fulton County as a whole. Lewis's district only takes up part of the county.

The majority of the 5th District is also the majority of Fulton County. The District includes a part of DeKalb and Clayton counties and excludes a small part of northern Fulton County. The GBI reports are by county, not congressional district.

See the list of the Pulitzer Prizes won by the Atlanta Constitution here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlanta_Journal-Constitution

“Merged” newspapers—or those owned by a nationwide newspaper chain—are seldom great or even very good.

Then there are those which are not “merged” or owned by a chain, which used to be good-to-great, but have become WORTHLESS—epitomized by the New York Times!!!!

Now one needs to be one’s own “editor”—surfing sites such as Breitbart, FR, and even non-US sites. College students, for example, who “only read the NYT” become woefully uninformed “snowflakes” who are prey to crooked Dim politicians, and even to global islam!!!!

Retired talk show host Neal Boortz owns a condo in Lewis’s district, which he sometimes uses when he has business in Atlanta, or he’s filling in for Herman Cain. The Talkmaster tweeted last week that whenever he’s staying at the condo, he never leaves the residence unarmed. Boortz lived in Atlanta for 40+ years before decamping to Florida, so he knows quite a bit about the city and crime patterns in Lewis’s district.

Of course the white hypocrite asskissers at the paper are going to take Lewis side. When do you think they’ve EVER done the opposite?

Lews is clearly at fault for his childish, baiting “illegitimacy” remark. If Lewis really cared about “illegitimacy” he might look within his own district. Trump was right to fire back at this loser. He lines his pockets while white Dems use his sorry ass to keep his homies in line.
