I'm trying to start this as a new thread dedicated totally to the ATL Purge.
Stuff in here should be only related to updates, reports and potential blackouts/throttling of traditional outlets related to the situation in Atlanta.

If you want to argue the fine points between necessary force and police brutality, gaps in training/culture change that need to be filled by police or their sideways shooting rivals, might I recommend this thread

For starters, I am not on Facebook but I saw that an event staffing page posted this recently

You might be the only poster on this board that is more based than I am.

Is this going to be full of random unverifiable twitter posts or will it try to stick to facts?

I’m just waiting for some live streams of Atlanta to be posted honestly

Sounds like the cops called in and Atlanta is the quietest its been in a month.

Not even Fox News can find something to cover in Atlanta.

There was more action when Antifa was headed to the Memphis suburbs 3 weeks ago.

Okay, I'm not a big conspiracy guy. I'm not even saying I'm right. But you censor enough conservatives, what is it to censor a city during a crisis?
I'm not big on those "you can't unprove it!!!" type questions.
But let me ask this.... why for the past 3 weeks have we seen non-stop protests and live feeds of the destruction and madness (EVEN AFTER THEY CHARGED CHAUVIN) and tonight we don't see anything out of Atlanta?

To even start down your path you have to believe every 24 hour news network and social media outlet has not just the interest, but the capabilities of shutting down all info coming out.

I'm not saying that there is a complete blackout. Just news agencies are sitting on the story in the hope it doesn't blow up and are under reporting it. That twitter and google can pivot on a dime with an algorithm and prevent information from spreading like wildfire.
Will it still get out? Yes. But will it help "prevent" a crisis? Possibly

Or it isn't near as bad as a dozen unsubstantiated twitter accounts have made it seem.


But yeah, media and social media blackout on every platform is probably more likely.

This is probably the case, which saddens me. These fricking morons need to learn this country becomes Somalia/Sweden/Afghanistan
