Fayetteville store robbed at gunpoint

By: John Munford

Fayetteville police are investigating an armed robbery at the Radio Shack at the Hudson Plaza around 3:45 p.m. today.

The two suspects left the scene in a four-door green Ford Explorer and Fayette County sheriff's deputies swarmed the area but were unable to immediately locate the vehicle.

The two suspects, both black males, left the area headed north on Ga. Highway 92, police said. One of the suspects had bad acne, police said.

The suspects used a handgun believed to be a Glock, police said. It was not immediately clear if they got away with any items or cash.

...when an area is heavily majority white, black criminals seem to shy clear ... kind of stick out.

However, as an area becomes more and more populated with blacks, the black criminals seem to migrate into those areas and "blend in"... harder to get caught.

As Fayettes black population increases, especially in the northern part of the county and down into Fayetteville, we've seen the crime rate rise... specifically around The Pavilion.

Facts are facts folks.... you can come up with all kinds of excuses and try and divert the subject, but that's the way it is. The higher the black population in an area, the heavier the crime rate.

Solution you ask??? The blacks should stop pandering these criminals and making excuses for them. We hear race mongering organizations such as the NAACP saying it's everybody's fault but theirs. Well, if that organization put as much effort and time and money into their community as they put in blaming everybody else, something might change.... oh yeah, then they'd be out of those big fat cushy jobs then wouldn't they.... sorry for being so naive.

Goodness knows that I am far from an apologist for the NAACP or criminals of any hue. But, by your logic, law-abiding, tax-paying, good black people should never be allowed to move into a white neighborhood because other law-breaking, revenue-draining, bad black people may look like them. Even though the good people may never actually associate with the bad people, the mere fact that they look like them is enough to keep them out. Is that really what you mean?

I'm not trying to be ugly. I'm just trying to understand your argument.

If you and I are always in agreement, one of us is likely armed and dangerous.

...and it certainly was not my logic, but rather "my" hypothesis behind an increase in crime in areas that become more populated with blacks.

You're extrapolating way to much from my post and trying to say things that just aren't there. I never suggested anyone should not move into an area, only what happens when a certain race does begin to increase their numbers withing an area ... and it's not an argument, it's my opinion based on researchable facts.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with some statistical facts taken from the 2000 Census, but don't know how to display on this forum.

Basically, the 10 top Safest Cities in the USA are all white majority while the 10 top most dangerous cities are majority black population.

This leads me to believe that black criminals tend to gather around heavily black populations. I'm not suggesting anything other than a hypothesis based on public data.

It seems like nearly every robbery in the area where the suspects are reported to be BLACK, somebody on this board always wants to immediately throw out the discrimination or racism flag citing "it's not always blacks!" .... Pardon the pun but let's not be afraid to call a spade a spade. Don't be so blind not to the pattern here or the the fact that these suspects are overwhelmingly black minorities . Take away all the burglaries and robberies where black suspects are involved and you can take out a section of the late night news or your local newspaper. Yes my friends, it's that bad.

Enough is enough. Let's clean this riff-raff up already!

One of the most financially successful men I know is a Latino who, like me, went to the Air Force Academy. Above his office door is this statement: "Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions."

So let's hear your solutions for the wave of crimes by blacks in our county. Granted, I pointed out that crimes leading to death and crimes against our children (including the infamous day care case) have a different face than your avatar ( why do you have the face of crime as an avatar?) Anyway, bring us solutions Buckwheat and company. how do we take action and take back Fayette for whoever we are taking it back for? I'm all nose (or ears, depending on the prejudice de jour)

NO WAY!!!!! Did the clerks get a good shot at the nose? Im afraid it might be game over for Fayettenam. As more and more blacks live,vist etc Fayette, crime will increase. Racist?, no just telling the truth. Look at Riverdale etcc.. Tell me I'm wrong.

My neighbor is NOT a criminal, my friend is NOT a criminal. What about Kevin "Hack" King who blogs on here?? He's a good man, a family man, military! Maybe some of the other people who post comments on here are black. Don't you think they might be hurt by your comments? Do you even care?

I care, and I want to reasure them that all white people are not like you.

You can't argue with slime like this Tug, it's a mindset, and they learned it from their parents, and they teach it to their kids, and it's born out of ignorance and you have a better chance of being struck with lightning then changing their tiny little minds.

I'll name some local crimes, and you race baiters tag the race of the perp(s). Ready?

1. Man shot to death in PTC by ex wife leaving child parentless (1 dead, 1 in prison).

2. Young man shot to death at PTC house party.

3. PTC hotel clerk bound, burned, and poisoned in attempted murder and robbery.

4. Fayette business man shot to death.

5. Fayette grandparents killed by granddaughter and friend.

6. Vast majority of respondents to PTC internet pedophile sting.

What answers did you guys come up with?

So why is jewelry more important to you sentinels of racial justice than life itself and our children? It's amazing you fellers kin even yoose duh internets. You are becoming quite comical, actually. Who knows, one day they might start exterminating black residents and setting up racial traffic check points. Don't hold your breath though....fellers.

Yes many crimes here have been commited by white trash. No I don't ignore those crimes, I have been very critical of the "but I was binge drinking" excuse and the sorry kid, and judge who think it's ok.
How could you forget that? Oh, was it because he(the criminal) was white so it was ok for me to pick on him?? Is that it??

The gangs(which are mostly black) have targeted north Fayette and the pavilion. Also the armed robberies that happened in PTC were commited by a black male. He was cornered in Cobb county and killed when he fired on officers.

According to some officers here is how the gang initiation works: they have to enter Fayettenam and commit a crime....they get into the gang if they leave alive.

They stopped using Dekalb county because those officers are executing criminals on the spot and in fact have surpassed NYC for terminating criminals.

What are you trying to say hack......crime is ok if a black person commits it, because he needs his drugs??

Black crime good..............white crime bad????

OK, hack and git you just opened the "can of worms."
You have invited someone to produce a 100 foot long blurb here of all the black criminals in the area all the way to south Atlanta.
They are afraid of that coming here more than what is here!
Fact is though, they do need to get out of where they are up there, if they are ever going to have a good chance to prosper. Won't do any good though when they do if they still have severe problems.
It wouldn't work even if ever white person here had a felony on their record.

I don't think you have to worry about Dr. Condoleezza Rice or Clarence Thomas (to name just two high profile ‘blacks’) robbing you, your home or your business.

Please, do not put all people of one phenotype (nose description), genotype (sex, race, etc.), or general description (Republicans, Christians, Blacks, Whites, etc.) in to one single neatly incorrect stereotypical category. Doing so is divisive, destructive, and ignorant.

The great thing about being an American is that we have the ability to chose to do what is right and to become what we feel is best for us to become to become if we choose to do so (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). No one, regardless of who they are, has the right to trespass on the rights of others. The two black males in this article, this time violated those rights. So did an Asian in Virginia and a couple of white guys in Colorado. All of it is unlawful and unacceptable.

Just try to remember that being stereotyped stifles the ability to choose what dream we follow and denies us from being an individual.

Secular (preconceived) predestination negatively affects the fulfilling of the American Dream by those who choose to NOT fall victim to socially perceived stereotypes. This too denies (trespasses) on the rights of others.

Stereotyping denies the American Experience for human beings and the robs us all of the America’s unique strengths – multicultural richness and the ability to have the ‘best of all worlds’.

Please, "...Content of Character..." Take Back Fayette - not "...Color of their skin."

Much agreement with your sterotyping blurb.
I would, however like to see mor blacks criticize both blacks and whites for poor behaviour, not just whites and ignore blacks. It is difficult to find an average black who will criticize the hip=hopper language.
Whites in general are harder on whites than blacks are on blacks for misbehaviour.

Sadly I'm seeing the same thing happen in Fayetteville that happened while I lived in College Park. People stood by and did nothing because they were afraid they might offend someone and be branded as intolerant. To H#%$ with political correctness.Lets keep pressure on our officals to turn up the heat on these thugs whoever they may be!Be they black,white,asian,hispanic,rich or poor.We must not lose our quality of life here in Fayetteville.

Submitted by swmbo on Tue, 04/17/2007 - 8:20pm.

The race of the offenders that we are seeing in Fayette County is, in my opinion, only related to who's around to cause the trouble; that is the race of offenders we are more likely to see. The source of our neighbor counties' problems is largely poor, uneducated black people who got priced out or kicked out of low-income housing in Atlanta. (It make sense when you consider that Gwinnett is having even worse trouble with hispanic and asian gangs because black people were not welcome in Gwinnett for a loooong time and there was nothing accessible to poor, uneducated, black people in Gwinnett.)

I don't think anyone (white, black, asian, hispanic, rich or poor) has asked law enforcement to be PC. Our law enforcement officers have to crank up the heat, that's all. And you'd probably be surprised at how many black people tell me that they feel the same way. Ok, well . . . maybe not FoolRahim. Laughing out loud
