re: Woman stabbed to death in Atlanta

This could have been prevented. It’s worse than it sounds:

Why have gates been open?

Some riders are blaming the Breeze Card switchover, which allowed people to ride free.
At Lindbergh, the new kiosks are up and running. But when Rogers was at the Oakland City stop, the gates were open, and people could still ride for free.
MARTA says when a train pulled into the Oakland City station around noon Saturday, MARTA police responded to a woman stabbed on one of the train cars.
Police and medics tried saving her, but she died shortly after from her injuries. MARTA says it appears to be a senseless and random act of violence.
“You just have to be prepared to defend yourself, and just a random attack out the blue, that’s just crazy,” said Maurice McCaslin, a MARTA customer.

"The installation of our better Breeze system was not as far along as we'd hoped at the end of the customer transition period on May 2, so for the last several weeks, we have left open gates and doors to ensure riders could easily access the system," MARTA Interim General Manager and CEO Jonathan Hunt said in a statement. "Now, with the installation of more ticket vending machines systemwide, we feel we've made significant enough progress to close these open gates and doors and begin requiring fare," Hunt added.

The ATL is now just a big ghetto.
The suburbs now are. NE Atlanta in the city is lily white with some Asian and South Asian. All the culture has moved out to suburbs.

Both are true moron.

Maybe in Gwinnett.
East Cobb, Roswell, Alpharetta, John’s Creek are not where thugs are living. NE Atlanta is not that nice by the way and I commuted there for years up until a year ago. NW is nice with Paces and Vinings and that’s mostly because thugs can’t afford the live there.

Do they still have the water tower that says "Gwinnett is Great"?
Might as well paint over that.

Gwinnett for certain. But ATL proper is a haven for that ghetto thug life and it is only going to get worse because at this point there is zero chance a conservative will ever get elected as Mayor of Atlanta. And culcha like Fani Willis is the poster child for the typical liberal idiots being elected in Fulton and DeKalb County.
Atlanta is quickly becoming a larger New Orleans.

Nope. It was torn down years ago.

98% of this message board couldn’t afford to live in Virginia Highland, Morningside, Ansley Park, Poncey Highland, Inman Park, Midtown, or even Old Fourth Ward for that matter. Have you checked the demographics of Cobb lately? It’s 10 years behind Gwinnett essentially. I went to Avalon in Alpharetta and thought I was in a Third World country with all the Arabs, Indians, and others that were there

Demographics of city of Atlanta and city of New Orleans aren’t even close. One is trending one way the other the other way. I’m starting to wonder where in Atlanta you are going? Black people are fleeing city of Atlanta and have been for two decades now. How on earth do you think the suburbs have gotten so bad in the last 20 years?

No photos of the stabber or victim, but we have ages and names.
Stabber: 25 y/o John Elijah Matthews
Victim: 66 y/o Margaret Swan
IDK what her destination was, but obviously she would have been better off with Uber, a cab, on foot...
Fatigue Chances.....Huge

He doesn’t know what he is talking about. Fulton has done the opposite of the suburbs. In 2000 Fulton was 55% black. Today it’s about 43%. In 2000 Cobb was 69% White. Now it’s 43%. Atlanta has seen “black” flight and Atlanta is quickly becoming gentrified. 20 years ago you couldn’t walk down Howell mill safely or Old 4th Ward. We live in Cobb and over the past 20 years the demographics have definitely shifted. And Alpharetta and Forsyth are rapidly becoming Asian hubs. AU gonna have to move to Wyoming to be with white people.

Are they mad at the cop?

Atlanta is now a shite hole because of “culture” and illegals. There really is no debate if you are objective and not under the spell of some Woke/DEI ideology.
It's a shame. I thought Atlanta was going in the right direction. Getting rid of ugly projects. But mass immigration will kill everything. Even in the early 2000s you'd see Hispanics outside home depot. Can't imagine it now.
The craziest part is the blacks ancestors were brought here by the Hispanics ancestors. They both are ruining that city.

As with me and my family. We have moved to a place where we should be fairly isolated from these evils. However moving away will not be an available option in the future. Something has to be done. Either we are made uncomfortable today, or our children’s future will be exponentially more uncomfortable.

I was only 3, but my folks picked up and moved from a house that was relatively new and paid for so my older siblings could get away from a school district that was going downhill fast. This was in the 60's.
They did what they thought was best for the family, even though it made some things harder for a while. It was the correct decision.

The "culture" is the problem dude. Every race has people that are problem but when per capital murder rates are magnitude higher for black race, you get theses responses.
Teaching hate and racism while being given every advantage and free education thru affirmative action and DEI (didn't earn it). The poor victims that love violence.

I live here and think it's one of the best cities I have lived in and i have lived in a bunch of major cities all over the country.. by far a shithole
said noone who lives in Atlanta or visitied or been to the airport or pretty much anywhere
there are rich places to live in Atlanta...and as long as you just stay there, you're probably enjoying life
Hate to say it but ATL feels like a minority run city with a lot of minorities who are just pissed off at the world...
I hate Atlanta..

I've lived in the ATL area for about 35 years of my life now and what you have said blanket statement wise is way, way off.
I've been in Smyrna/Vinings since 2016 specifically and not once have I, my wife or family felt unsafe here.
I grew up in Clayton and Henry co from 1987-2005; Clayton county started to turn very ghetto in mid-late 90s, we moved to Henry co (Eagles Landing) in 96. Went to Eagles Landing high which was one of the better schools in the state back then, not quite on East Cobb levels but a really good school, unfortunately north henry county has turned a bit ghetto over the last decade especially now, south henry county is a different story, very stark differences there. My parents moved from our house in Eagles Landing to FL back in 2020.
Smryna/Vinings is still a very nice area, East Cobb, Roswell, Alpharetta, go up I85 enough; etc...plenty of very nice areas in metro ATL. You just need to know what you're talking about. It's a gigantic area. South of the city in Clayton/north henry are areas to avoid, beyond that still pretty decent. Northwest, north, and go up I85 enough are all nice areas to live in. South of I-20 is basically a no no around ATL.
People who DONT live here can get a very misconstrued perception of it if you only ever come to the airport, stay around there (which is ghetto) and see a video of something like this happening on Marta which no one we know even rides
