This Week in Chamblee, Star Light on The Mad Italian

First I see on facebook that a man was found dead in front of the Mad Italian Then I find out that a Food Truck named "Champion Cheesesteaks" is using a picture of the Mad Italian’s cheese steak as one of their own! 

First, WTF dead bodies in front of the Mad I? This is scary shit since I live down the road. AND the Mad I happens to be one of my favorite restaurants and a place I practically grew up at.  As if we don't worry enough, my whole family is asking me questions about this "situation". My bestie that works there says to me, “Tara you act like this has never happened before” and when I think about it, he’s right. A shooting next door at the bowling alley, a shooting across the street at the Texaco, a little kid shot dead in my neighborhood, rapes and armed robberies…Honestly my city is turning to shit. MY CITY! It’s sickening. And my parents thought if I’d moved down town I’d be unsafe.

Second, how stupid do you have to be to post a picture of a cheese steak on your website as your own and leave the MAD ITALIAN paper on it? They tried to blur it out it seems, but this did not work. My friend’s 8-year-old son caught it, he said, “Hey that’s the Mad Italian’s cheese steak”. Right you are 8 year old. 

CO Shooting Part II

What is all this “alleged” killer stuff I keep reading about the CO shooting? He did it! I read yesterday that CO will most likely drag this whole thing out for a long time. Can we just call him what he is? I know the whole innocent before proven guilty thing, but there is NO alleged about it. He was caught RED HANDED! His home was even booby trapped as a Plan B. The “alleged” thing is offensive to the victim’s families and survivors in my opinion. 

The Dark Knight Rises Shooting in CO

Shooting in CO Theater at Premier of The Dark Knight Rises

This is absolutely disgusting news! A gunman walks into a movie theater and opens fire killing 12 people at The Dark Knight Rises premier in CO. Injuring 50 one being a 6-year-old girl. Just another example of how we suck as a society.

No doubt those 12 people walked into the movie theater just as excited as I was with my family. My brother was like a little kid on Christmas morning. Just to be shot and/or killed dead…WHY? 

My sister kept saying they had that theater “locked down” when we went. They were checking to make sure we didn’t have our cell phones, because you know we might try to record the movie with our cell phones. As if a cell phone has the capability to record a 3-hour movie, let alone be of any good quality.  I’m seriously saddened and disgusted.
