I lived there for 2 years, starting in 2011. I was directly behind the leasing office. I would hear loud people at the elevator every once in a while, but nothing substantial. The only negative I really had for the place was when someone "broke into" my car. It was partially my fault since I accidentally left the doors unlocked.

I also lived at American Wire for a few years. For the most part I enjoyed it there. However, the walls are paper thin and god help you if your neighbors smoke in their apartment. They might as well be smoking in your place.

Just because they only list the things that may seem palatable does not mean this will not help the continued militarization of Atlanta's police department. Their website states "Our training includes..." not "this is an exhaustive list of what we will be doing here. You can disagree on whether this is a net loss for their community, but linking to the website does nothing.

I like to have some sort of proof before taking a strangers word on a serious accusation like this.

You seem to think I’m defending this rep, I’m not. Hell, I didn’t even vote for him (and he was on my ballot). But before I break out pitchforks and torches (hyperbole, but making phone calls and visiting offices isn’t off the table), I like to hear/see it from a reputable source.

While I think he was being a douchebag, it doesn’t read from the article as bad as you initially made it sound. Although, you might be right, the video might make it worse.

>"Oh, I didn't mean to. Are you a pedophile? I'm sorry," Quattrocchi, a Scituate Republican, asked Kislak, a Providence Democrat.

The article doesn't convey the timing of that quote as well. There was a long pause between "Are you a pedophile?" and "I'm sorry." Long enough to put a pretty significant emphasis on the accusation. Enough to get a rise out of the entire room.

Regardless, I got a feeling that even if I did have a clip of the moment for you, you would still find a way to misconstrue the obvious reality of the situation.

Thank you for posting something to it.

While he was throughly being a dick, he didn’t accuse her of being a pedophile as you stated in your post.

So Warwick is just balled hill road? Looks like you need to get out more. Providence is Ghetto just like Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Central Falls. When you drive in from Mass first thing you drive through you are like what the hell is this dump.
