Firearms, knives, police and fellons

[steelish]

I am, of course, not discounting editorial bias or inaccurate reporting. It may also have been referring to a particular locality in Atlanta and not the entirity of Georgia.

I bet it is something found only in a specific locale. You can be sure that if the whole of Georgia celebrated the 4th in such a way, most of America would have heard about it long ago. Something like that makes headlines everywhere.
