    Apparently the woman who rented the home told the company that it was for a family reuinion.

    But actually it was a house party with over 100 people.

    Since the article goes to great pains to skip around it-im guessing there was some vibrant cultural enrichment involved.

    Perhaps the type with "teens" or "youths".

    We have a mansion in Atlanta that was rented out for parties. Big stink.. The neighbors complained, there was several police reports.. and some violence if I recall. The judge shut it down completely.

    From link : "He said he called the police on Thursday “after looking on his home security camera and seeing well over a dozen people at the home”.

    Another episode of authorities dropping the ball.

    But.....I have been told many times here, that it is not the job of Police to defend life or property. That is the obligation of individuals, I am told.

    Obviously. Your idea that police protect us is wrong

    See the Post of SiNNik. All I am doing is repeating what I have been told here many times. SiNNik has now sourced it. Cheers.

    Saw the names of the shot individuals

    Omar, Oshiana, Tiyon, Ramon, Javin.

    Looks like a victimless crime.

    Yet you think we should not have guns and the police should take them away. If the homeowner called them, they should have responed, the day BEFORE the shootings. What do YOU think is the job of police?

    They do seem to share a certain, commonality. Though I wont say "victimless" obviously the dead are victims of homicide.

    Don't be silly FatBack. I want the guns gone and the Cops to do their job..."Protect and preserve."

    "Preserve" what? Before they removed it from their cars it said "To protect and serve"
    Q. Why carry a gun?
    A.Because a cop does not fit in you pocket.

    You are quite right. I got that wrong. 'To protect and serve.' Protect who, serve who?

    That's a damn good question. They tend to show up to sweep up the mess.

    You got me good and square, US Conservative. Give yourself a brownie. My error is a hanging offence. So, perhaps you can assist us all......just who is it that the Cops pledge to protect and serve?

    Yes, through Airbnb you can rent someone's home to stay in when you're vacationing or traveling for other reasons. I think bnb stands for bed and breakfast.

    A huge party doesn't fit that criteria, does it?
