Street Racing In Atlanta Has Gotten So Bad The Mayor Wants To Block Off Areas And Make It Legal

The empty roads created by lockdowns around the world has led to a massive uptick in street racing, and Atlanta is no exception. But now the Atlanta Mayor’s Office and Bloomberg Philanthropies are exploring a new approach to the issue: providing a venue.

According to a report from CBS 46 Atlanta, the plan, which remains loosely defined but essentially amounts to closing streets for races and donuts, was first recommended to Mayor Kiesha Lance Bottoms by her eighteen-year-old son. Mayor Bottoms then approached consultants from Bloomberg Associates working for the city to explore the feasibility of such a solution, where public roads would be blocked off to segregate drag racing and side-shows from regular traffic.

OK let's go down this path. Let's say that Mayor Shitforbrains allows legal street racing. If vehicles lose control and do damage to my property, is the city liable given that they legalized street racing. If people die, is the city going to get sued to hell and back by families?

Did you also see where Mayor Kiesha Shitforbrains got this idea from her son? Now that's good parenting. How much you wanna bet that if anyone pointed out the idiocy of that, she'd throw the black-privilege card formerly known as the race card?

Sounds like a liability nightmare for the city. However if they can find an appropriate area with surrounding land owned by the city, sort out safety and security, sign off on liability, let em at it.
