crime rally

A series of violent crimes led to the formation of the Atlantans Together Against Crime (ATAC). The wave of flat screen thefts and car break-ins spilled over into robberies and murder, leading locals to begin clamoring for justice. The group held its first rally last week in the Little Five, several blocks south from Ponce and Briarcliff.

The presence of four TV stations and two city council members was encouraging to the almost two-hundred in attendance. The group is hoping their prodding will get Shirley's notice and put focus on the crime scene, which is either declining or escalating, depending on if you talk to Chief Pennington or anyone living inside the perimeter.
