Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) has had enough.

Bottoms told protesters occupying a downtown Wendy’s — the location of Rayshard Brooks’ controversial and untimely demise — that the time for negotiations had ended following the shooting death of an eight-year-old girl. (Daily Wire)

The young girl, Secoriea Turner, was killed when her mother exited the freeway and turned into a parking lot playing host to the “occupied” protest similar to the one that cropped up in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood early in June. Protesters reportedly swarmed the woman’s vehicle and fired a number of shots at the family, hitting Secoria.

Just hours after that incident, police returned to the “occupied” zone to investigate yet another shooting, this one involving a group of adult males. Three people were wounded in that exchange of gunfire, a local Fox affiliate reports, and one person was killed.

In a press conference Sunday night, Bottoms ordered the “occupied” zone cleared and declared that protesters would no longer be able to set up a long term camp at the site of Brooks’ death.

“After a night of a dozen shootings, including one in which an 8-year-old girl was killed, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday said protesters could no longer occupy the Wendy’s where a police officer shot and killed Rayshard Brooks last month,” Fox News reported Monday.

“At the point that an 8-year-old baby is killed, the discussions have ended,” Bottoms added. 

Pundits consider Bottoms an unlikely, but possible candidate to be Joe Biden’s running mate. Do you think she’d help or hurt the ticket? As always, share your thoughts with us in the comments section below!

  1. After giving them the key to the city and depleating the police force now shes against them because they shot an 8 year old BLACK girl ?

      1. All that woman is concerned with, at this point is her Image. It took the life of an eight-year-old to make her do anything about that misguided bunch seeing how far they could go without being stopped. They had already broken several laws. and, by law, should have ALL been arrested, The wanted to throw our President out for less.

  2. So she threw the cops under the bus when Brooks was shot even though he brought the whole thing on himself, now they should clean up the mess she created? They should tell this loud mouthed moron to do it herself.
    How do people vote for complete morons like this? Think before you vote, every city/state run by democrats is a sh**hole, stop voting for this garbage.

      1. Hey, de zombie apocalypse mob, also known as antifa, blm etc., claim to be “woke”…which in their parlance appears to mean “sleep walking in a deep coma”…lol

      2. There are 15 states where the Democrats basically control both houses and the Governorship. And yes, the citizens are getting what they voted for. Socialism, busted budgets, officials who will lock them down in order to destroy the economy, and calls by criminal minorities to eliminate the police departments.
        Sorry, but these idiots still have not learned their lesson. And they WON’T until they are in total SLAVERY.

    1. God, in judgement, has given them over to depraved thinking. They simply are NOT able to be civilized. How did it come to this??? Selfishness to the Nth degree.

  3. “At the point when…” that’s what it takes? Burning the place down wasn’t the “point?” a mob of murderous thugs setting up shop, threatening citizens and disrupting the life of the city wasn’t the “point?” Swarming and intimidating people, even if they didn’t murder them, wasn’t the “point?” Adults (at least in age) shooting each other wasn’t the “point?”

    Well, now at least we know what the benchmark is for a Democrat mayor to take action against a lawless mob: they have to start shooting children. Up until then, they’re okay.

  4. All cities where there are Democratic mayors running them that this kind of violence and rioting occurs have blood on their hands.They are too late for that poor little innocent girl. People need to recall these fools!!!

    1. It is also where corona a most heavily romping and stomping. Don’t believe it is by chance This is from God.

  5. There is no excuse for what this Mayor allowed to happen in her City! No excuse! Notice how she has now found some cajones?? It’s too late sister, you could have put this to bed a long time ago but you chose to be politically correct instead. I truly hope they run you out on a rail!!

  6. No, she’s not a good choice for Biden’s VP. The dems with half a brain wait until the sky falls and then try to fix it. It doesn’t work.

  7. It’s a shame that it took the MURDER of an 8 year old girl to make our mayor act, she should have ended it the night Wendy’s burned, but she is a democrat and if it works for their agenda they will run with it till it blows up in their face, as it ALWAYS does! My heart goes out to Secoria’s family!! I’m sorry our mayor didn’t have the guts to act as a leader and crush these CRIMINALS at the on set!!!

  8. Once again, a poor response to an unforgivable death. Too late to try and act brave now. She allowed the thugs to create the crime area and allowed them to carry guns. Nice try, maybe if you are black and drink the BLM kool-aid. You might agree with this woman, but if you have any common sense at all, you know this is a band-aid on a gaping wound. So sad and it happened more than once in other Demoncrat controlled cities. How is that BLM working out for y’all now? Rest in peace little one. You were let down by those who should have protected you. Hear the crickets??????

  9. If they are shooting people, they are NOT protestors, they are terrorists. The definition of terrorism is: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. Both antifa and BLM are terrorist groups. (and antifa has been designsated as such.)

  10. The mayor has had enough, how about the law abiding populace of Atlanta, be they black, white or some other color?

    1. Those law-abiding ones have been negated by VOTER FRAUD. Our free elections are GONE. Democrats now bring in truck loads of ballots, It costs a lot of money to hire enough people to MANUFACTURE ALL THOSE FAKE BALLOTS.

  11. We HAd mr. Biden in for eight years with Barack Obama what have they done to make this country better? What has Mr. Biden done in 45 years in Washington DC that he could possibly do now, it’s like when somebody puts their finger up to the wind which way is the wind blowing that’s the way he goes! Can he see Black Lives Matter has been infiltrated by antifa and other communist?

  12. it is sad that it took the death of a child for the mayor to find the guts for a mayor to do the job she should have been doing all along. Now the hoe needs to keep doing her job.

  13. BLM but not to 8 year old. These mayors have blood no their hands. Thing like this should never ever happens to any human been, child in particular. There is their summer of love in full swing. Seattle, Atlanta Minneapolis, Chicago. Everywhere where DemRats ” govern.

  14. Elect Liberal Communist Democrat Mayors, that’s what you get.
    Thugs ruling the streets shooting anyone they want.
    But if you live there I bet it’s Hell to get yourself a gun?
    Thugs get to have anything they want. They shop in the trunks of cars….

  15. Dear Mayor Bottoms, you can’t go along with Dem’s ideology of NO police( no law and order) then not expect violence on your streets. You have blood on your hands, the innocent have suffered and the Parents are devastated because YOU allowed the evil to reign!! Can you not SEE what a Socialist America would look like, or you simply don’t care because you’re more interested in your Political career?? To the families who suffered loss this weekend on our streets, my sincere condolences. But please see what the Dems are allowing in every State, & there will be more violence and blood shed if we allow them to take over!! Our Founding Fathers wanted Peace, equality, for all People. That’s why they fought so hard for a Democracy, NOT SOCIALiSM!!
