The Dumbest White Liberal in Georgia

Posted on | April 16, 2026 | No Comments

Because I’m a native of Atlanta, I’m old enough to remember when DeKalb County was nice — affluent, prestigious, even. But the DeKalb County of 40 or 50 years ago has ceased to exist, and the only white people who live there now are those too stupid to understand their imminent peril. Hence the complaint from Mandy to local WXIA-TV:

A DeKalb County woman says her calls to 911 went unanswered after she became trapped in a chaotic street takeover, raising concerns about emergency response times in the area.
The incident happened just after 6 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Chamblee Tucker and Alton roads, where tire marks still remain from cars spinning in the roadway.
Mandy said she was on her way to a friend’s house when she suddenly found herself surrounded by cars doing donuts and crowds of teenagers filling the intersection.
“I am blocked in, and I am absolutely terrified,” she said.
She described a scene of cars spinning recklessly while some people in the crowd appeared to be holding weapons and setting off fireworks.
“Just seeing teenagers brandishing weapons and shooting off fireworks… it was crazy,” Mandy said.
With no way to leave, she called 911 for help. She said she stayed on the line for about a minute but never reached a dispatcher.
“I was on the phone for maybe a minute. Nobody picked up,” she said.
Mandy said the takeover continued for 20 to 30 minutes without any police response. By the time she was able to leave and make it home safely, she received a text message from DeKalb County 911 asking if she needed a callback — nearly 45 minutes after her initial call.
“This was about 45 minutes after I tried calling them. I was already safe at home,” she said.
She said her experience reflects a broader concern, noting that others have shared similar stories about difficulty reaching emergency services in DeKalb County.
“If you were in a real emergency, I can’t even imagine the desperation and panic,” Mandy said. “You should be able to rely on 911.”
DeKalb County officials did not provide a direct response about this specific incident. However, police said officers did respond to the scene, though those involved had already fled.
County leaders have previously acknowledged staffing shortages within the 911 system and say they are working on improvements, including the potential use of new technology to better manage high call volumes.
For residents like Mandy, the lingering question remains whether help will be there when it’s needed most.

The area where this happened was in Chamblee, north of the Atlanta campus of Mercer University, and south of the junction of I-85 and I-285. It’s a neighborhood known as Embry Hills which, 70 years ago, was nothing but farmland. Then in 1957, three brothers — Jack, James and Neal Embry — purchased 600 acres and built more than 700 homes in a planned development. It’s still the same place physically, with brick ranch houses on tree-shaded half-acre lots, but demographic changes have completely altered the social environment. Reading about Mandy, who “was on her way to a friend’s house,” my thought was: What kind of friend do you have in that neighborhood, lady? Pardon me for the suspicion that Mandy was on her way to score an ounce of weed.

As recently as 1980, DeKalb County was still 70% white, but today fewer than 30% of the county’s residents are white. In the 2024 election, Kamala Harris got 82% of the vote in DeKalb County. To answer the question, “How bad is DeKalb County?” it is only necessary to point out that Kamala Harris got a higher percentage of the vote there than she did in San Francisco, California — it’s that bad. It is therefore not in the least surprising that motorists driving through DeKalb County on a Saturday afternoon would find their way blocked by gun-wielding gangs of feral teenagers, and that their calls to 911 went unanswered.

As dangerous as Embry Hills may be, however, at least it’s on the north side of DeKalb County. About 15 miles south of there — dear God, it’s Mogadishu down around Flat Shoals Road:

Woman killed in DeKalb shooting spree was a federal employee, DHS says
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security employee was one of two women killed during this week’s DeKalb County shooting spree that injured a third person, the federal agency confirmed Wednesday.
Lauren Bullis, 40, was walking her dog in a residential area off Flat Shoals Road just north of I-285 when she was fatally shot and stabbed Monday, DeKalb police said. DHS confirmed Bullis worked in multiple roles at the Office of Inspector General, including as an auditor in the Office of Audits and as a team leader in the Office of Innovation.
“Beyond her professional accomplishments, Lauren was a bright spot for so many of the DHS community. She brought warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of care to her colleagues each day,” said a DHS statement provided to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “She was the kind of person who made others feel valued and supported, and her presence will be deeply missed.”
Olaolukitan Adon Abel, 26, was arrested in connection with Bullis’ death as well as the earlier fatal shooting of another woman and the injury of a man, law enforcement said. He faces two counts of murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
He remains in the DeKalb jail. Court records do not yet list his attorney, and Abel waived his first appearance hearing Tuesday.
He was born in the United Kingdom and became a naturalized citizen in 2022, according to DHS.
DeKalb police have said they are trying to determine if Abel knew the victims. Brookhaven police confirmed the man, wounded while sleeping in front of a grocery store, was randomly attacked.
Bullis was an avid runner who participated in the 2026 Publix Atlanta Marathon, the Atlanta Track Club said. Spokesperson Natalie Cabanas said the track club was saddened to hear about her death, though she added the staff did not know her personally.
Supporters launched a GoFundMe campaign for Bullis’ husband that had raised nearly $10,000 by noon Wednesday.
According to an arrest warrant, Bullis was walking her dog just before 7 a.m. when Abel passed her in a silver Volkswagen Jetta and shortly after attacked her.
Officials said she was the last of three to be shot during the alleged spree, which began around 12:50 a.m. when a woman was shot 14 times outside a Checkers restaurant on Wesley Chapel Road. She was identified by the county’s medical examiner’s office as 31-year-old Prianna Weathers.
Soon after, around 2 a.m., Brookhaven police officers received a call about a man shot in front of a Kroger at the Cherokee Plaza along Peachtree Road.
Abel was arrested Monday afternoon in Troup County.
DHS, in its statement, touted President Donald Trump’s immigration efforts since the Joe Biden administration “to ensure individuals with criminal histories and who otherwise lack good moral character do not attain citizenship.” The agency cited increased efforts to vet immigration applications.
Abel has prior convictions in Savannah and California, but they came after he became a citizen, court documents show.
In June, he pleaded guilty in a Chatham County courtroom to four counts of sexual battery. He was subsequently sentenced to probation, banned from entering Savannah for four years and ordered to obtain a psychosexual social evaluation, documents show.
The charges stemmed from four instances where Abel “intentionally” touched “the intimate parts” of four women without their consent on April 20, 2025, according to court documents.
In total, five sexual assault calls came in within nearly an hour involving a suspect matching the same description, and four victims wanted to press charges, an incident report from the Savannah Police Department says. During his arrest in Savannah, officers found a knife in Abel’s sweatshirt pocket, police said.
In October 2024, Abel was convicted in California. According to court records out of San Diego County, he pleaded guilty to felony assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm on a police officer or firefighter and felony vandalism. He was sentenced to probation.

The southern end of DeKalb County is a no-go zone for white people, and most Georgians wouldn’t even drive through the area on I-285 if they could avoid it. There is a lot of outrage from right-wingers over the fact that the Biden administration let Olaolukitan Adon Abel into the country, but what puzzles me is why Lauren Bullis felt safe living in that neighborhood, much less walking her dog on the street.
