Kasim Reed campaigners robbed at gunpoint
Updated at 3:40 p.m.:
The Atlanta mayoral campaign of Kasim Reed just identified the two campaign workers who were robbed at gunpoint on Monday. One was Olympic gold medalist and track star Monique Hennagan, who won gold medals in the 1,600-meter relay in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics. The other volunteer was identified as deputy field director Tyler Pryor.
Original post:
This note below was just sent to us from the Atlanta mayoral campaign of Kasim Reed. For the moment, they’re withholding the name of the former Olympic gold medalist who was one of the victims:
On Monday evening around 8:15pm, two Kasim Reed for Mayor staff members were robbed at gunpoint outside of the campaign headquarters on Ralph David Abernathy in the West End. A male staff member was escorting a female canvasser to her car after closing the office.
As they walked, they were accosted by an armed gunman who pointed his weapon and demanded they drop their car keys on the ground. They were then asked to back away at which point both employees turned to run down the street to a nearby Wendy’s where they called the police.
Atlanta Police quickly arrived on the scene, began taking statements and investigating the crime. At that time, it was discovered that the female canvasser, who is also an Olympic Gold medalist, had her black 2004 Infiniti G35 stolen by the armed assailant.
A police report was filed and the gunman is described as African-American male in his early twenties around 5’8”-5’11” and weighing approximately 170 lbs. He was wearing a green hooded sweater and had a red bandana covering his face. Police suspect this may have been part of yet another gang initiation. Fortunately, both victims were unharmed.
“More than anything, I am grateful for the safety of my friends. This incident easily could have been a tragedy. My resolve could not be stronger to take back Atlanta’s streets from gangs and violent criminals. A line in the sand has been drawn. This is yet another reminder that we must turn back the tide of violence facing our city,” said Sen. Reed.
“The gangs are going to reform their ways, leave this city immediately, or have the full weight and resources of local law enforcement and the criminal justice system brought down on them. Enough is enough. This continued threat to our safety will not be tolerated.”
The vehicle has Georgia plates and the license plate number is ATQ 6329. The campaign is urging anyone with any knowledge that may lead to the arrest of this suspect to immediately call the Zone 4 Investigation Unit with Atlanta Police Department at (404) 472-3708.

I hope I’m wrong and I’ve just become to much of a cynic, but I’m just not buying this story. Sorry if I’m wrong about this but this seems just a little to staged to me.
It also seems like Reed is more concerned about making a statement about gangs than about the safety of his staffers. I would have liked him to tell us that his people would be safe and that they would be taking more precaution for future to prevent this from happening again. Instead he went strait to a stump speech, if you want me to believe you are going to take care of the people of Atlanta, show me that you will atleast take care of your own people.

Is this sort of behavior really that shocking? A young, black male robs someone at gun point. Wow. Stop the presses! I’ve never read a story like this one before!
No matter how jaded I become, I still hope the victims are able to move past their terrible experience and the thug is caught and successfully prosecuted.

AH, go back to whatever campaign work you’re supposed to be doing. Kasim is definitely concerned for the safety of his friends. This is the wrong time for you to come on here spewing your ignorance. I hope you are never robbed, Kasim is the only real warrior in this race. Kasim is the only candidate that has actually fought for Allanta and won.

Probably not. I’m white, and it would then be a racial crime.

It is clear to me that Reed’s leadership is something we desperately need in Atlanta. This was an obvious affront to his campaign by the very blood gang members he – an only he – has spoken out against. I don’t know about anyone else on here, but calling these miscreants to the carpet is something that should have been done a long time ago.
Here we are talking about a car jacking; on the campus of Clark Atlanta University a student was killed under the watch of Trustee Lisa Borders and she was far less than responsive, ask the coalition of students who called her out about it. And should I really mention anything about Norwood – BUCKHEAD’S MAYOR.
His statement made me feel that if he gets into office, we as a city have a chance to be safe again.

Come to think of it.. I like some of Reeds stances on a few things, but this got me thinking.. I might call his office today and see how he feels about the 2nd Amendment and the right to carry.. If I’m correct, he’s probably one that felt his staffers did the right thing in laying down for the thugs that really run this city.
Even considering his office is in a bad part of town, makes you wonder as well..
Borders doesn’t seem to take the same road as Reed does with the crime, and she’s had her home broken into… She also doesn’t live in a good area, but both really take a lazy-boy approach to crime.
Enough is enough

You are sick if you think the camaign did this.
Borders got her house broken in to while she was home.
Mitchell got car jacked
there is a crime problem in the city. It sucks when it hits close to home.
If you are really that much of an ass to think Reed had something to do with it, walk outside by his HQ after dark by youself and see what happens.

I was robbed at gunpoint in Oakland City back in 2007 – not fun – Kasim and other mayoral candidates are talking tough, but where is the money to fund extra police ? Atlanta’s current CFO says the coffers are pretty much empty – now is not the time for politics and all we have running for mayor are professional politicians – any fat or pork in the city budget will have to be eliminated and reallocated for crime fighting and these candidates don’t have the moxie to do it – they will owe too many political favors – maybe when the bad guys start robbing north of I-20 we’ll see some change – in the meantime handle your business before the sun goes down because the predators are out there and they are getting more brash every day

Wow lot of anger here. Maybe the ajc needs to post some ads for anger management. I’ll ignore all the campaign trolls here that’s your job, but then there are a few others that seem to take a lot of personal affront from an online blog.
We certainly have a crime problem here in the city everyone other than Franklin and Pennington know this, but I’m a little leery of how quickly Reed went into a stump speech. I’ll believe that the crime happened unless I hear differently but I’m not hearing from Reed concern for people that are his responsibility at this time. Show me how you take care of your people today, before I trust you to take care of me tomorrow.

I now carry a 357.Magnum with me pretty much everywhere I go, especially on rare trips to downtown Atlanta. Always with my 5 year GA carry permit of course. Black street crime and especially black on black crime is a huge problem in many parts of the world. In Brazil, the UK, France, throughout the Caribbean, of course all across the USA. South Africa is even worse, despite the far left black dominated ANC regime there. Funny how so little is ever really done about this trans-national problem that is actually getting much worse.. Mr Cosby was frequently shouted down by the racial spoils crowd when he made honest speeches about responsibility and getting an education. Sadly he seems (to me at least) to have largely given up his efforts.
Before the usual racebaiting begins on here, consider these facts – at this web Dept of Justice site:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm
Just one staggering fact.
Most murder victims — 93 percent of blacks and 85 percent of whites — were killed by someone of their own race. So “racist” murders are thankfully very rare.
Funny how Reed has been largely quiet all these years about black crime, until he started running for mayor. This has been a problem for decades and NO black politician in Atlanta has EVER actually done a damn thing about it…. SYSTEMATICALLY. Unlike Rudy did in NYC. Just the usual, occasional platitudes around election time.
Black crime has NOTHING at all to do with “racism” – its a deeply entrenched , self perpetuating cultural ‘thang’, with huge numbers of mostly innocent victims.

Thanks for the kind words.
I choose a magnum solely because there’s NO chance it could jam. Its point and shoot. I also have a Glock 17 and a M & P compact SW.40 which are not revolvers, but for safety reasons I don’t carry those with a round in the chamber, so I’d have to ’slide’ one in – which takes a few extra seconds to do. The magnum is in an impossible to detect carry bag. and hopefully I will NEVER have to use it. The cops in Atlanta are pretty useless and ineffective and I refuse to just be a passive victim of black thugs. There simply is NO white street crime on a level like this anywhere in GA. If there was I’d be just as biting in my comments about that.

We know whitey can’t change your culture, heck, who respects whitey? So make some hard decisions, take some flack, and commit to a better lifestyle like the one your parents and grandparents who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s had, where Dad was still home, God was still king, and family meant something.

I am not a churchy type at all. But your idiocy about “raiding churches” smacks of very bitter homosexual rage against normal folks. Homosexuals are amongst the least tolerant people around. Their (collective) moral fascism is appallingly hypocritical and very unsavoury. Homosexuals very aggressively demand not reasonable tolerance for their tiny minority lifestyle – but complete, unequivocal acceptance, and they hector anyone who opposes them. NO HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE … civil unions are fair enough though, at age 21 and up.

I guess it’s not cool to say no to crime is it, no, of course not, that would make you weak. One day black folk will realize that true strength is going to work every day, paying your bills, taking care of your family, saving money as opposed to buying, buying, buying all that glitters, not worrying about status, doing the right thing. Those are heroes and there are plenty in the community, but sorely not enough. You reap what you sew.

No amount of additional police officers nor tough talk from mayoral candidates will “REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE” eliminating crime. The changes will have to come from the people who bring all these kids into the world and do very little to parent/raise them once they are here. Most of these thugs committing the crimes are not in the least afraid of a police officer. In fact, their guns are usually larger and more powerful than the police issued firearms.

I’m one of those “North Georgia hicks” that several of you ATLiens like to make fun of. This story is the reason I don’t like coming into or driving through Atlanta. There’s just too much crime and from my limited understanding I am the wrong color to be in certain parts of town as well. And before someone labels me as a racist you should understand that I have been told this by friends of the opposite color. I don’t understand how a once great city has been overrun with gangbangers and thugs. I think it is a shame that a place that was once a gateway to the South has become a haven for criminals.
I agree with READER

Sounds like this is a place for cowards to come and spew hate behind an alias.

Times are changing and it’s not just Atlanta, crime is everywhere. Good luck to the candidates, to the winner get help or suggestions from Mayor Campbell because Atlanta was much better when he was in office.

it has also become a cesspool of corrupt police, lazy lying politicians and politically correct soccer moms who push pro-life and the value of an SUV that takes up at least one lane so they can cart their fat stupid maggots around to the park and back.
This state is done, 100% agreement with the above poster. Atlanta and GA are done.
let’s name some names now:
DULUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT
DEKALB POLICE DEPARTMENT
DORAVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
DULUTH CITY COUNCIL
GWINNETT COUNTY COMMISSION
MAYORS OF ALL ABOVE
GOVERNOR
(notice gwinnett police weren’t in that? That’s because despite the constant headlines about them tazering people, killing unarmed old ladies and the like…I have never once been screwed with by them OR even ticketed.)

How is Mary going to be mayor of Atlanta? She won’t even go to 40% of the city without clutching her purse.

it amazes me the things that people will post on this board anonymously! The downright hate filled commentary that is posted here are baffling. No wonder this entire country is headed for the pot…

African-American?… I have a black friend from England. I guess he is just plain old black. I thought blacks just robbed during riots.

There are safe areas of Atlanta and not so safe areas of Atlanta…same as any city. Be aware, get involved in your local community and come together as Atlantans. Vote for the candidate you think will do the best job and serve your interests. See what you can do to help and get involved. If people don’t want to be a part of this city, so be it, but I’m excited about the next 5-10 years and the opportunity we have to progress and develop.

I think ATL needs some CHANGE. Some HOPE! REFORM! NEW!
All that bullcrap the liberals bought back in Nov….
How about we get a WHITE PERSON to try running Atlanta.. No one votes in ATL mayoral races anyways..
Also, to the person who said Norwood would ignore the “poor” on the southside… How about you take care of the people who PAY FOR EVERYONE else?!
Don’t bite the hand that feeds, and it’s a large portion of the problem in ATL. They are forced to give.. Do you think I LIKE the $8,000 tax bill for my house? Do you think I like the higher prices of everything? Do I like the face I pay the highest water/sewer rate in the country, and then get told to pay more?
Do the people on the southside have this problem?? I think not!! The only problem they have is how they can get a ride from their “boys” and come into my neighborhood, and break into my house. When I kill one of these thugs, and his mother is on the news telling everyone how he was turning his life around, maybe these thugs will “turn the car around” when they plan a night of looting and killing.
I’m on my way out of this pathetic city. Racist or not, I think you need to plain blind and ignorant to realize that black people run things for themselves. Black people don’t stick together, and don’t give a crap if it helps their fellow man. Me, Me, Me, and More, more more!! Name me one “chocolate city” that is doing well? None.

I keep reading about this guy named “African-American.” He seems to be a bad person. Why can’t the police lock him up, and throw away the keys?

Call in the National Guard Sonny and tell lil ol shirley and all the other ignorant racists to
step back and let law & order take over. Lets build jails in the Okefenokee swamp, give em
all beans and water, lets do it like it is supposed to be done. And while we are at it, lets
start firing up that electric chair weekly but before you sissy boys cry racist I’m all for frying
the white boys first!
