From the LA of the South, Atlanta, who hasn't had a republican run the city since the wheel was the new cool thing..........

Former professional boxer Vernon “The Viper” Forrest was killed Saturday night when a robbery turned into a gunfire exchange, according to Atlanta Police.

Atlanta Police Detective Lt. Keith Meadows said Forrest was shot seven to eight times in the back after chasing one of the thieves.
