Burning Atlanta

Olivar Angelo Roblero of 397 Iotla Valley Park Road was charged with two felonious counts — attempted kidnapping and attempted abduction — and one misdemeanor assault on a child under 12. The arrest came after deputies initially responded to a 9-1-1 call at 2:32 a.m. reporting an altercation between five men involving two-by-fours.

“I need an officer out here ... now, please. I have Mexicans trying to get my nine-year-old little girl in the bed with them and I’ve got my15-year-old brother that is basically going ballistic on them,” said the caller. “I’ve got five of them trying to jump on my brother.”

The caller reported the Hispanic men were using “busted up two-by-fours” to attack her brother.

Sheriff Robert Holland said the family had come home late that evening after attending a family function. “The girl had a new puppy that needed to go outside and so she took it out inside her fenced-in yard,” he said. While she was alone outside, a man grabbed her from behind and attempted to take her over the fence.

“Her 15-year-old uncle chased the man to his house and the fight broke out,” Holland said. That's a gutsy 15 year-old. WHY weren't the people that were swinging 2x4s arrested or screened as to their immigration status?
