On December 23 at 9:24 a.m. The Atlanta Police Department reported that there had been two separate assaults on females that were alone. According to the report, “one of the assaults occurred in a public place and the other at a private residence. The Atlanta Police Department is working on the two cases, and I cannot give a lot of details at this point due to this being an open criminal investigation.” The same day at 1:05 p.m. the Atlanta Police Department reported that they made their first arrest.
This week, on social media, I asked churches, organizations, and businesses to post pictures and information on what they were doing around town this Christmas to help those in need. I thought it was a telling sign when nobody posted anything. Typically, we get lots of pictures when we ask about the things people are doing around the community. Don’t get me wrong; I know better than to believe it isn’t happening because I see it happening all over the community. The truth is that giving this time of year comes naturally to those in the community.
