An exclusive Atlanta neighborhood plagued with a rash of violent crimes has reportedly decided to separate from the sprawling Georgia capital and create its own police force.

Bill White, chairman and CEO of the Buckhead City Committee, told Fox News on Thursday that the decision to split was made as crime in Atlanta has skyrocketed while police are underfunded.

“We filed our divorce papers at the city of Atlanta — and our divorce is final,” White told hold Bill Hemmer, adding: “We have two bills in the Georgia legislature dropping in January to decide this referendum ballot.”

Wait! Isn't police the problem?

In Buckhead they'll have to start killing White males, eh?

“Gorgeous area but full of libs.”

Then the separation should be denied. Let the morons live in the filth they gleefully created.

This will send Atl home prices crashing .
Buckhead paid for most of the city sitting around on street corners .
Hopefully the city will be divided up and the evil beast Atl will die .

I’m all for it

Let each and every “jurisdiction” decide on their own what to do and how top do it.

Maximum Liberty.

Malice would agree and be quite heartened by the progress.

This is going to sound absurd but here goes, I have come to the conclusion that big cities with their monopolies over the citizens in entire states of which they reside would be better off dead and gone or like what Obama did when he sent the wrecking crew to Detroit reducing its size and dimensions. (BTW-I hated that back when he did it, I have since changed my mind)

I’m sick of big metro areas with their dependent class and communists dictating statewide policy failures and theft of LIBERTY. The sooner these areas die or are reduced in influence the better, IMHO.

The founding fathers were very concerned about cities too. I believe one of them described them as “festering pits of corruption” or words to that effect.

It’s not absurd. This is the only way to keep an AZ or GA from crashing fully into the abyss. But it’s not enough these big Rat cesspool cities you also have to deal with the University towns especially in the era of mass vote by mail fraud (I.e. much of the abuse involves transient college students).
