Protesters have gathered for a fifth night, this time starting in Buckhead at the Lenox Square MARTA station.

Channel 2’s Carl Willis is with the protesters who marched through Buckhead.

Around 8:30 p.m., police began arresting protesters marching down Peachtree Road. There is no word yet on what they may be charged with.

More protesters continued to march on. By About 9:30 p.m. the group had reached the Governor's mansion on West Paces Ferry Road.

Betcha the guv has armed guards around the mansion. He's the same one who vetoed the campus carry bill in Georgia.

I won’t tell you what MARTA stands for.

Balloons, surgical tubing, a large funnel and lots of Sherwin Williams’ finest. Assess distance and azimuth. Launch.

Embarass these fools. Mock them. Douse them with paint from afar and let the photos travel around the world at light speed. Young idiots more concerned with self image than the so called cause will avoid future turnouts.

The problem, as usual, is everyone taking BLM seriously when BLM themselves can’t clearly state their goals.

It’s a shame. Memphis and Atlanta seemed to be thriving in the 80’s and 90’s. Not any more.

Should be MA-ARTA. :)

Aren't their noise ordinances in Atlanta? Watching the news and they're banging on drums right now. This is a residential neighborhood.

Bet if the neighbors aren't armed tonight they will be tomorrow.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Not anymore.

I left Memphis in 1972. Never looked back.

I was there and rode on it one time. A black cab driver told me what it was called.
He was very upset because his neighborhood had went down in value due to crime and his brother who lived in the suburbs house had tripled in value. He said it was because of public transportation which is when he told me what they called the MARTA.
