This BS has got to stop. If you want a Mercedes, get a freaking job, thug.

High Noon? Really? What is this the year 1400?

Black males. And it continues.

and people ask why I carry a gun everywhere in Atlanta, always. Concealed carry saves lives

So, was it before or after Bobby V's car was stolen? The first and second paragraph disagree on time.

Great country we live in thanks to brainwashed zombie liberals, it's now bad to be WWS, white while successful. Liberals wanting revenge on the USA too stupid to realize handouts don't buy mercs.

This is ALMOST as bad as when KING & SPALDING's RAYMOND E. BALTZ JR. & his 'Buckhead BASEBALL' tried to do a LEO FRANK LYNCH MOB REENACTMENT on me, when all i did was WALK ON THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK IN A CITY OF ATLANTA PUBLIC PARK!! And that was on March 5, 2009! Naturally i sent a 'Human Rights Commission complaint for to city hall, but apparently DIANE HARNELL COWHEN (former Parks & Recreation commissioner) made it disappear. ISN'T THAT OBSTRUCTION OF JU$TICE???!!! And Atlanta claims to be "international & all about diversity". WHAT A LOAD OF BULL $HIT!!! WHY IS COCA-COLA ENTERPRICES EVEN A MAJOR SPONSOR OF 'BUCKHEAD BASEBALL'?!!!??

It seems there is a carjacking every single day. Someone please put a bullet in these thugs head.

The time for Political Correctness is over. Anytime you see a thug in your neighborhood call 911. I do it all the time when I'm out in Midtown and other parts of town. And twice it resulted in one guy being arrested for an outstanding warrant and another time a guy have an illegal gun.

Hopefully these boys get what's coming to them. Disgraceful.

I blame this one on the owner. He should have known better than to drive around town, in a car, in broad daylight and then have the audacity to park on his own property which is highly visible! Clearly a recipe for disaster. I think we can enter this one in the "What Not to do File."

There have been apparently quite a number of carjackings from the Edgewood Target parking lot quite recently, something like three -?

So it's not what APD is doing to protect Midtowners, but what is APD and the Mayor doing to protect all of town... ? In one of the recent string of eastside carjackings APD had an idea of who was involved and i think nabbed them. It would be very interesting to see a plot map of all the carjackings and other armed muggings since Jan. 2012; maybe then the Mayor might get tempted to put a taskforce together. Overall crime may be down, but stranger-on-stranger crime with a handgun is way up again.

I would like to see MPSA and MNA re-institue the monthly safety meetings, even if it's just quarterly. The briefings from APD were very helpful, it was good to meet more neighbors as well as officers, and residents could provide good information directly to APD about hotspots.

I don't get into crossdressing, but no one should ever be barred from walking on a sidewalk. I used to play at Buckhead Baseball, but all of those jerk offs that tried to block someone from walking there should have been fined about $5,000 each.

And that Meesay really sounds like a fool. You don't get your point across AT ALL when you go around slinging your stupid WWS acronyms. I'm not a democrat, but calling people liberal zombies just made you and your nonsense irrelevant.

Yet another reason to drive a crappy car that no one would want to steal and to just say no to iPhones.

ChrisCrossdresser has hijacked yet another comment thread, which was originally about a violent carjacking, to complain about something that happened 3 years ago and is completely unrelated to the subject at hand. We understand you're upset, but express your anger in an appropriate forum, rather than every single comment thread. Better yet, do something about it, but stop going on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on about it. It's only making you look crazy.

With regard to the carjacking, APD has had a lot of success recently in making arrests on high profile crimes. I trust they'll be able to track down the thugs who did this too.

the victim is stupid. If you have lived in Midtown for 15 YEARS you know that black males in hoodies are not lookng for directions, or most ridiculously, looking for work??? bwaaaahhhhh!! thats funny

I wish they could nuke Bedford Pines. Then 99% of all Midtown crimes would go away.

We need to hire Bill Bratton to bring teach APD how to stop and frisk. Appearantly, armed black males in hoodies are walking right past APD without fear of being caught.

Look folks...U need to arm yourselves so we can start putting these worthless POS THUGZ in the ground...to Hell with jail!!!

Honestly it has come to a point where we need to contact police when suspicious persons are around Midtown. APD could make it easier by simply supplying phone app. to do so. Atlanta however is so PC that it probably never will, nor will it start using stop and frisk which is clearly needed in Atlanta.
In the meantime keep flooding them with any suspicious activity and maybe the current administration will take note.
Anyway elections are coming up and I'll donate to and support the candidate/s that propose solid steps on crime prevention and law enforcement.

Scary! I am moving to an apt off Charles Allen before long and plan to get involved with MNA. I want to see how this is being addressed, and if not, how we can address it.

"John" has left several key facts out of the story as his neighbor I can attest too! While I am certainly not condoning a car jacking in any shape form or fashion "John" is well known for "entertaining" guys like described as the men and well known .

For those whining wanting to see something as offensive as ' stop-n-frisk' police have long ago have the authority to do it, I'm blk live in midtown walkeverywhere to the park, going for breakfast or coming in at night if ever the BS of NYC starts here the only thing you get is confrontation from instant anger! It adds to the already friend or foe eyeballing, buy a beer for me from the crazy homeless, or drugs from idiots who just popup? And yeah already stopped by APD all before I get to the wamth of my door. I have long had anger at anyone who throws a pistol in someone's face until a predator knows there's a ' certainty of punishment' or retribution *ish is going to continue.

The cops and their attitudes towards their jobs, and their management have a lot to do with street crime, sure. But consider that these same cops- most who are good professionals- do get worn out seeing perp after perp who they have brought good cases on get let out with probation, crime after crime after crime. The judges suck, plain and simple: how many contested seats do you see at election time? That whole thing is a sham. Then look at the frickin' county, Fulton, which seemingly can do absolutely nothing well: the jail has been under a Federal judges' consent decree for years. The individual patrolmen can only do so much.

But do call 911! On *anything/one* suspicious!

@ChrisCrossdresser - I'll repeat my original reply: How the hell do ANY of your comments on this thread relate to an armed car jacking in Midtown? You are focused ENTIRELY on yourself and, with all sincerity and without malice,you really should consider anger management counseling or at the very least starting your own blog elsewhere. Perhaps whatever readers you attract there will care about your incoherently ramblings on your 3 year old Buckhead sidewalk incident, your opinions on the TSA, Coca Cola and the Parks and Recreation Commission or your interest free condo purchase. Those posts are ENTIRELY inappropriate on this thread about the armed car jacking in Midtown. Get a clue: If your comments are irrelevant to the topic at hand, show some common sense and shut it. No one interested.

Repeat post test!

Yet another reason to drive a crappy car that no one would want to steal and to just say no to iPhones.

Crossdresser - you make me laugh. Why on earth would anyone lose sleep over a whack job like yourself?

I just wish there was a 'ignore' button on this site. Oh well.

Hello, looks like things are getting a little too personal here so I’m going to shut off comments for the evening. I’ll open them back up in a.m. and see if we can get back on track. Thanks.

John, clearly since your comment followed mine then you can see that comments are moderated here. What you don’t see are comments that have been deleted. It is not uncommon for stories to result in a wide variety of comments that obviously not everyone will agree with. We encourage people to be honest and post what’s on their mind. Please contact me at 678-620-7320 during normal business hours and I’d be happy to discuss this with you further. Thanks.

so he was car jacked by a Gay Trick?

"he thought they might be asking for directions or yard work"

How do you live in Midtown 15 years and read this alarmist blog and think that two hooded males need directions or are willing to do skilled work for money?

I have heard unofficial and unconfirmed information (attributed to beat officers) that the perps in this incident were apprehended out of state somewhere.
