  • In East Lake and part of Kirkwood, violent crime jumped 53 percent.
  • Robberies went up in four beats and made a 71 percent jump from 2007 to 2008 in the East Lake/Kirkwood area. (Atlanta police point to the explosion of two crimes; burglars kicking in doors to get to flat-screen televisions and thieves swiping GPS units from cars.)
  • East Atlanta has been hit the hardest. Since 2006, home burglaries ballooned by 147 percent. Other thefts, classified as larcenies, jumped by 87 percent.

In our little southside neighborhood of Ormewood Park, between 2007 and 2008, burglaries nearly doubled, 67 burglaries in 2007 and 125 in 2008.


just my
I agree that, when speaking of kids in general, bad behavior is a big issue.
Bad behavior that transalates into kids doing illegal shit is even bigger of an issue.

I believe that is partly due to parents not being allowed to parent their kids the way we were raised.
Talks and timeouts are great and all but ass whoopings are more effective.

All this new school psycho babble shit people listen and subscribe to is why kids behave the way they do these days. They have no real consequences to suffer until it's too late, i.e jail, death, etc.
