The past several days in Atlanta Georgia have seen the following hate crimes. Not a lot of attention by the national media though
1.) By Dan Lyman Wednesday, June 09, 2021A pregnant woman was stabbed by a stranger while walking with her toddler on Saturday in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, according to reports.
Brookhaven Police are seeking a black male between the ages of 20 and 30 years old in connection with the attack, which left the woman seriously injured, police say.
The victim underwent multiple surgeries, including an emergency C-section to save the life of her baby, who was born approximately four months prematurely.
“Mama and her son (age 3) were excited to go on a walk on their first day of summer break at the Peachtree Creek Greenway. Mama is a teacher, 5 months pregnant, and was looking forward to a fun summer preparing for the new baby. This all changed on Saturday June 5th, 2021 around 5:30 PM,” a friend of the victim explained on a GoFundMe page established for the family.
“They were approached by a young, male stranger and tried to go around him minding their own business. It was at this moment the man pulled a knife out and stabbed mama in the back many times in front of her son. From there she was rushed to the ER at the hospital and had to have an emergency c section AND an invasive surgery on her organs to repair their functioning.”
A woman appearing to be the victim’s mother has provided multiple statements via social media since the attack.
“I finally have an update. My daughter had her liver and colon repaired. She’s on morphine and resting. 2 hours 40 minutes away, on the road still to Atlanta. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF MY HEART,” Twitter user Resa Speaks wrote on June 6.

The suspect, who police identified as 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom, was detained at the scene of the car accident, police said. They said they believe the suspect may have been "suffering from a mental health crisis."
Police reported the victim, a man, was "conscious and breathing with a gunshot wound" when they arrived on scene. The victim was described as in his 40s and police said later he was in stable condition.
"Preliminary investigation indicates the gunshot victim along with two others were shot at while jogging in the area with only the one male being struck by gunfire," a police statement said.
