First thought I had was that it was an oil tanker. Second thought I had was that the driver hadn't spilt some of his coffee to Hazelwood, the God of Spillage. I hope they catch these kids and they face the music. They'll probably be caught by bragging about it, if the people they brag to call the authorities.

200 Census stats for zip code 30331 (in that area) show following:

White alone 1,366 3.1
Black alone 42,277 95.0
AmerIndian Alaska Nat. alone 34 0.1
Asian alone 65 0.1

I'm putting my money on a restless gang of retired white female librarians.

Likewise, firefighters said they’ve had other objects thrown at their truck when they’ve come out to turn off fire hydrants that were illegally turned in the same area.

Sounds like a fun family-friendly area. /sarcasm

Seriously, if you are standing around and someone says, "Hey I have an idea! Let's aim our lit fireworks at that GAS TANKER TRUNK!" it's time to 1- get some new friends and 2- reexamine your life cause clearly you have made a wrong turn somewhere along the line.

>>>Amen!! I work in Atlanta and I drive 60 miles north everyday so my family can go outside without fear. Atlanta is truly the Cancer of The South.>>>

I drive 60 miles south, traffic not so bad and I like my children going outside too. I was raised in Clayton County, the edge of Atlanta and it is not the Atlanta I grew up in.

Well, she did say she was a desperate housewife who sneaks out to Chippendale's with Big Time's wife for excitement. Now things are really getting out of hand.

>>>Yup...they did the same thing with Stewart Ave.>>>

It will always be Stewart Ave to me. All they did was confuse people and allow innocent people to wander helplessly into a REALLY bad area. People who didn't know the wonderful City of Atlanta government's wonderful program to decrease a crime filled area was to change the street sign.

Some guy who threw $hit at passing trucks, apparently.

Attempted murder sounds like the right charge against these miscreants.

I think I remember a case like that where the guys WERE charged with just that.

My money is on some local kids.

Yep. They used to do that in South Florida also. Local punks would throw debris out onto the highway for a combination of thrills and to rob motorists who stopped. DOT built tall concrete walls for "sound reduction" and that seemed to stop the problem. I've long suspected those tall "sound barrier" walls along urban parts of interstate highways are less about noise and more about preventing similar acts of banditry.

You must not live around Atlanta. If they wait long enough all the fuel will be stolen.

Witnesses? Nobody saw anything, man....

To understand Atlanta politics, think Tammany Hall or the old Daley machine minus the competence. Thousands of hours and millions of dollars to re-name roads after political hacks who did their part or somebody who "needed some recognition".
