Georgia Governor Declares State of Emergency, Authorizes 1,000 Troops to Protect Citizens

Atlanta, GA – Following weeks of dramatically increased violent crime and property destruction in the City of Atlanta, the July Fourth weekend saw over thirty Georgians wounded by gunfire, including five confirmed dead. Today Governor Kemp issued Executive Order 07.06.20.01, which declares a State of Emergency across Georgia and authorizes the activation of as many as 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops.

“Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead,” said Governor Kemp. “This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city. I have declared a State of Emergency and called up the Georgia Guard because the safety of our citizens comes first. This measure will allow troops to protect state property and dispatch state law enforcement officers to patrol our streets. Enough with the tough talk. We must protect the lives and livelihoods of all Georgians.”

...because the dirty little secret of Black Lives Matters, is that they only care about criminals thst are being mistreated by white cops. They are strictly a criminal racist organization that don’t care about black victims, only hood rats being punished by the police.

In a state where there is no waiting period for purchase and instant NICS checks, the system is thousands behind the purchase curve with up to 48 hours delay as of last week. I’d say people are buying alot.

Because that is not their purpose. Their purpose is to destroy the United States of America as it was founded.

Either a little late on this OR, and I think this may be the one, allowing burn, loot and murder to overplay their hand and show what this group is really about.

1,000? Just enough to protect the Gov’s mansion.

The Wendy’s franchisee is a black man, and most of the employees and clientele were black. I guess those black lives don’t matter. It’s a sad thing.

The violent ones did not hijack anything. The protesters who are there know what is going on. They are part of the same mob and are facilitating the violence. The protesters are not peaceful.

Bears repeating.
Perhaps the governor understands this, but is trying to be tactful in a southern gentlemanly way.

“Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Uh huh... “Hijacked”.

Riiiiggght. BLM (burn, loot, murder) is nothing but a front organization for a marxist overthrow of the USA.
The sooner these dumb azz politicians realize this, the sooner the problem can be “dealt with”. And it will be “dealt with”...one way or another. This will not be resolved at the ballot box either...it’s gone too far for that now..they went full retard. There’s no other choice...except to totally surrender the entire country to them and let em burn it to the ground. There may be some that would do that, but the majority of Americans would not.

I hope this is real. I just cancelled a trip to a place near Atlanta (I was going to arrive on Weds.) because I honestly didn’t feel that I’d be safe - or even if I lived through it, I didn’t think it was going to be much fun. Still going to Georgia, but to a way different part of the state.

Do these “protesters” and the lame mayors and governors know how much they are costing their states and localities? How much suffering they are causing to formerly employed people? Do they care?
