I really know nothing about this mayor. But I know looting is wrong.
Register to vote AND vote is the best message she can send.

Stunning display of leadership from Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms -- absolutely stunning.

Trust me -- this is worth setting aside a couple of minutes to watch:

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms says the violent demonstrations in Atlanta are “disgracing the life of George Floyd”: “When you burn down this city, you’re burning down our community. If you want change in America, go and register to vote.” https://cbsnews.com/live/

Voting doesn’t do shit when the entire government is corrupt and forgot that their jobs we’re supposed to serve us the people.

1. Yes she is amazing

[brer cat]

2. She's a strong woman and she cares.

She cares about the lives that have been lost as well as her city.

3. She can quote MLK, but this youth are Malcolm X.

he'd say she's only half right. You can burn property AND go vote.

4. Not if you are a felon.

[ancianita]

5. Her admonition shows that she doesn't know the difference. She's conflating outside

provocateurs with her own Atlantans by telling them to go home. Not cool.

As a MOTHER, she should honor the mothers who know that bold children advance humanity.

As Atlanta's mayor, SHE needs to go after the felons. That's doing her job.

She's NOT doing her job in telling protestors to go home.

All she promotes is what MLK calls an unjust peace.

6. I was more impressed by her delivery and passion than the content of her words.

[ancianita]

7. Sure. I hear you. But conviction about the wrong action doesn't help her people's cause.
