A man and a woman were driving along University Avenue near Atlanta so they could get on the interstate when protesters stopped them and informed them they were on a Black only road and since they were white they would have to turn back. When the man rolled down his window to talk, he was punched in the face three times. The protesters threw rocks at the car, breaking out the windows and denting the body of the car.
Ty Spiceland, 35, and a woman who didn’t want to be identified were confronted by a group of men, some with guns and told to turn their car around and leave. Atlanta like most other cities with Democratic mayors have surrendered to protesters and allow them to do pretty much whatever they please. The confrontation occurred near the Wendy’s that was burned down after police killed a Black man in the parking lot after he fought with then and fired the taser he took from one of the cops.
Spiceland said:
“Overall I absolutely agree with their side. All I wanted to do is just roll down the window and try and reason with the guy and say, ‘Hey, we’re not going to Wendy’s, we’re just passing through, we’ll be gone in one second.’ And he just didn’t want to hear that or anything about that, he straight-up said, ‘No white people are allowed on this road.'”
“It’s scary to have someone come after you like that. We take their side. We weren’t being disrespectful in any kind of way. We were just trying to get on the interstate.”
The unidentified woman added:
“They said, ‘You can’t go this way. You’re not African American. Only African Americans are allowed on this road. You’re white, you’re a cracker, whatever word they used. You’re not allowed on this road. Turn around.”
She says windows were shattered, she had minor injuries, and police told her and her friend to avoid the area. She says she was on her way to the interstate. A police report has been filed. pic.twitter.com/leNpXZBZBS
