On to Atlanta for Exciting Vols Bowl (Georgia Tech students robbed at gunpoint)

Georgia Tech students robbed at gunpoint | ajc.com

Two Georgia Tech students were robbed at gunpoint Saturday evening, according to campus police.
The students were walking on North Avenue near Spring Street when they were approached by a large, tan sedan, according to Tech police. A man exited the vehicle and pulled out a black revolver.
The man got both of the victims' wallets before leaving the scene on foot, police said.
One of the robbery victims sustained a minor injury in the incident.

If the students would have been carrying pellet guns, this would have never happened.

Stay home if you're scared. We don't need hillbillies who are afraid of the big bad city wandering around here anyway.

People act like Atlanta is Detroit . . . and it's just not.

I've lived there, gone to school there, ridden MARTA and been to tons of games at Turner Field, the GA Dome, Phillips Arena/Omni and I've never felt slightly threatened.

Hey, I've walked back from Turner Field to Georgia Tech completely hammered before and didn't get mugged. Everybody will be fine. BTW, it's like 3 miles. If you ever think the Marta lines are too long and walking is quicker, think again.

Have you been on North Ave near Spring St? It goes straight from nice GT campus to homeless guys crowding the street.

why would a robber drive up in a van and leave on foot?
