I didn’t hear about that. That’s a shame.

I lived in a Gwinnett (Norcross) apartment five years ago. After about a year in the apartment, I found out that someone had shot a bunch of holes into the wall of my apartment when the previous residents lived there. I think it was some type of drive-by. Of course, the management at the complex didn’t tell me about that before I took the apartment. I had to hear it from one of my neighbors after I had settled in. Thankfully, I now have a house in Cobb that I love.

Still, though, I think Gwinnett was a pretty decent place. I just happened to live in the “belly of the beast” of the county.

LaShawn – ain’t the AJC.com registration the worst? You have to come up with a username AND an e-mail address to log in if you don’t tell them to remember you!

A once-deported illigal alien from Mexico raped and murdered a 4yr old girl in Hall County, Georgia and escaped. It is feared that he may be in Mexico already in which case he is home free unless authorities are willing to take the death penalty off the table.

Note: I’ve found nothing on this anywhere else.

I used to live in Gwinnett County (i.e., Norcross, Duluth, Snellville, etc.). Gwinnett has had more than its fair share of news lately. The runaway bride was from Duluth (well, that was the starting point was for her MAD dash). The Atlanta courthouse shooter was captured at an apartment complex in Duluth (at the home of the brave Ashley Smith). Last year’s runner-up in American Idol (Diana DeGarmo) was from Snellville. There also was a recent taser-death occurrence that has caused a commotion. Now they’re dealing with all this.

It is a nice place to live, but I guess with 500K or 600K residents, you’re bound to get some good folks and some bad apples.

And if the thugs are idiots, that sure doesn’t say much good about the cops who let them escape.

So what’s new? Atlanta cops didn’t search courthouse killer’s cell following discovery of metal in shoes 2 days before murders.

Recently, this “victims advocate” said cops and mayor Shirly Franklin were being “racist” for insisting “the homeless” stay out of downtown Atlanta – because they are driving tourists and businesses away.

No doubt, discipline of Atlanta police and administrators would be considered “racist”.
