1. “This video is age-restricted and only available on YouTube”.

   Any way to get a clue as to what it’s about?

   1. Tucker Carlson is talking about the rise in violent crime in Atlanta caused by the defund the police movement pushed by Democrats and Liberals. This violence has come to the wealthy suburb of Buckhead Atlanta that provides Atlanta with 1/5 of the cities tax revenue. The example he states are a drive by shooting of a man jogging, a mall where the residents will no longer go because of stabbings and shootings that happen on a daily basis. He points out how these attacks are on white residents with no relationship with the criminals committing them. He speaks of a couple a women and man who were robbed and badly beaten by a criminal who was arrested a short time earlier but prolly released with no consequences to commit his next crime with out bail or any jail time.

      Buckhead is pushing to separate from Atlanta allowing them to keep their money and set up there own police force. CNN says this is raciest because the residents are white. Then tucker point out where rich liberals and CNN employees live far away from the violent murderous cities they helped to create. Example Bill Gates moving to Montana.

      1. Saw the video earlier this morning through Whatfinger. You pretty much summed it up. I didn’t think F-Youtube would have been so quick to take this vid down, otherwise I would have saved it, but now, I can’t even find the vid on Whatfinger anymore.

         You can still see the video via foxnews.com here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-cnn-hates-buckhead-trying-leave-atlanta

         1. Ah, thank you for that – I live outside Atlanta and am familiar with the ongoing issues between North and South Fulton County. North Fulton County (Buckhead) pays all the taxes, South Fulton County (the *ahem* disadvantaged part of town) gets all the spending. But Buckhead has been going downhill since the ’90’s – once the gays started getting accepted and were free to live wherever they wanted to, Buckhead’s economy took a big hit.

         2. Its still there, and I just downloaded it just in case.

2. There is no hypocrite like a liberal and they’re no different than cancer.
   Their version of first aid is a tourniquet on a neck wound.
   Conservative states should vet every single newcomer with a 200 page screen of Q&A to weed out the filth.

3. That just happened,the age restriction, it wasn’t thirty minutes ago

   I guess they don’t want to kiddos getting too many ideas about peace and rule of law

   And it’s just one more form of friction used to slow down a compelling message they don’t like

4. Just watched it.
   I assume that ideas are offensive because the facts presented were nether violent or graphic.
   Liberals hate facts that don’t support the narrative.

5. Nothing age inappropriate in this video. Truth hurts I guess. I have lived north of Atlanta for 20 years in an affluent area referred to as ‘white flight’ however judging by the number of black families living here too, I think the name is a misconception . I never felt unsafe going downtown for events, visiting galleries or to spend the day in Piedmont park until the past year. Like all cities there are areas to avoid but now we will not go to Buckhead, Olympic plaza and the surrounding attractions and no way will I walk the more secluded trails in Piedmont. A nice city ruined in short order by another useless racist democratic mayor.

   1. Are you allowed to carry a gun where you live? If you are (and you don’t already), buy one, train with it until its use is second nature, and don’t leave home without it.

      1. Yes we can and do. My husband and daughter both carry and are both reasonably proficient. I do not as a rule carry but I am truly impressed at the number of friends who never leave home without a gun. At any given tennis match I bet I am no more than 10 feet from a handgun. Probably would be the same downtown but not the same kind of gun owners.

         1. Was transferred to Atlanta in 1993. Lived in a northern suburb (Dunwoody; about 100 yards east of Sandy Springs) but worked downtown at Coke HQ …robbed at gunpoint downtown twice in my first 6 months; thereafter always carried (legally) and continued to do so (illegally) after being transferred to Chicago in 2000. Have never felt vulnerable when carrying.

            There is a precedent for Buckhead incorporating as a city and seceding from the city of Atlanta. The northern mostly upper middle class suburb of Sandy Springs seceded from Atlanta and incorporated as a city in 2005 and has prospered ever since. Buckhead can follow their model ….all of Sandy Springs’ city services (except police and fire) are contracted out to private sector providers and these contracts are all short term (max 2 years), so if service stinks the provider’s contract is NOT renewed. Street potholes not being filled promptly? …parks not being well tended? …street lights and stop lights not kept functioning? …BAM! A new private contractor is hired to provide that service in Sandy Springs! WHAT A CONCEPT! …no unions to ‘protect’ city employees because there are so few city employees; private sector service providers who VALUE the citizens’ / taxpayers’ business! GOTTA LOVE IT!

            1. No unions, Davers6? That’s racist!
