  • More than 200 Atlantans, including Mayor-elect Kasim Reed, gathered on Monday night outside the Moreland Package liquor store where Kavader McKibben was killed to remember his life -- and urge each other to unite as a community to help end violent crime.<br />
<br />
Alvin "A.J." Jones remembers Kavader McKibben as a star basketball player, skilled at every position on the court, and one of the warmest and most giving persons he's ever known. <br />
<br />
The 21-year-old liquor store clerk was shot and killed during an armed robbery at the Moreland Package Store. <br />
<br />
On Friday night, police say, Kavader McKibben was gunned down by 19-year-old suspect Terrone Anthony after he demanded cash from the liquor store's register.<br />
<br />
"He was goofy, he was playful," Wilkerson says. "It's just sad.".

  • Last Saturday, Georgia's inaugural "running of the bulls" festival took place in the Grand Prix Stadium at Conyers' Georgia International Horse Park. The U.S. version, dubbed "The Great Bull Run," is scheduled to visit nine more cities throughout the country over the course of the next year. Conyers was its second stop after Virginia.<br />
<br />
In Conyers, 18 bulls that weighed as much as 1700 pounds were released and ran around a quarter-mile track into crowds of as many as 600 people. Participants paid up to $75 for the experience.<br />
<br />
What seemed on paper to be madness was actually much quicker and more orderly than expected. Once the bulls start rushing into the crowd, people had a choice: either stay and jump in front of the bull or get the hell out of the way. Virtually everybody chose the latter.<br />
<br />
During some of the runs, the bulls simply ran past the crowd in a stampede, passing screaming Americans armed with GoPro cameras and cell phones who were taking pictures of the animals and themselves. Some people fell during the runs, though it seemed their falls had more to do with packs of rushing people rather than actual contact with the bulls.<br />
<br />
No participants were sent to the hospital, according to Bull Run Chief Operating Officer Rob Dickens. And while many people were satisfied with the brief adrenalin rush, some were hoping for a little more.<br />
<br />
"I was a little disappointed," said Greg, a Marietta man who paid $68 for the experience. "It was about five seconds long. I was hoping for 10 or 15 seconds."<br />
<br />
"We increased the number of bulls in each run from 12 to 18 to address runners' complaints that our first event in Virginia wasn't dangerous enough," Dickens said in an email. "We still heard the same complaint in Atlanta, so [at future events] we're going to increase the number of bulls to 24 per run."<br />
<br />

  • There's a fine line between genius and insanity. Last night, commuters at the Lindbergh Center MARTA station were confused as to which they were witnessing when, for about an hour, the station became a stage for the dance group gloATL. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, dancers suddenly started performing in the plaza outside the station. Their performance then moved inside the MARTA station, where they surprised and delighted evening commuters. The odd juxtapositions that revealed themselves were as entertaining to watch as the dancers themselves. Some passers-by reacted with shock, disbelief and joy, while others ignored the dancers and walked quickly past. People's reactions to the dancers became part of the show itself. The piece ended with the group running down the street into the night.<br />
<br />
The Lindbergh Center MARTA station will never be the same.

  • Time and Place: 'Untitled' by Anish Kapoor <br />
<br />
Shot  April 6, 2012<br />
<br />
This week's Time and Place photo was taken at 2:32 p.m., April 6, 2012, at the High Museum, 1280 Peachtree St. I have been mesmerized by this art piece at the High ever since I first experienced it some months ago. My newborn child and I would return every week to stand in front of it and freak out. She was already hypnotized by mirrors and this took her fascination to a whole new level (maybe too intense?). Perhaps the most interesting element of the piece is the audible quality, if you stand in just the right spot and whisper or talk your voice is amplified to a much much higher level adding to the mind-blowing effect of feeling like you are on another planet when standing in front of this art.<br />
<br />
The art is the creation of Anish Kapoor, an artist born in Bombay, India, in 1954. He has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s. His most famous piece in the United States is "Cloud Gate" in Chicago, affectionately known by Chicagoans as "the Bean," an epic 110-ton elliptical sculpture at the heart of Chicago's Millennium park.<br />
<br />
The roughly 10-foot-tall High piece, with the captivating name "Untitled" was installed using a forklift in 2010. For this photograph I was trying to capture the piece in an unusual and unexpected way, I wanted to make a viewer feel as disoriented as one feels when they stand in front of it, so I waited until someone looked behind the piece while another individual looked at it from the front.<br />
<br />
A few more pictures of "Untitled" are after the break.<br />
<br />
(The next free day at the High Museum is Saturday, May 5. You must be a Fulton County resident. Acceptable I.D. includes valid driver's license, utility bill, or student I.D. from a Fulton County school.)

Toughest Cowboy competition at Gwinnett Center<br />
Published 01.28.09<br />
By Joeff Davis<br />
<br />
Thousands of people crowded into the Gwinnett Center Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009, for an evening of energized violence and brutality. The Toughest Cowboy competition had arrived at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth.<br />
<br />
The contest involved 12 cowboys competing in the triathlon of cowboy chaos, bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. The Gwinnett stop is part of a multi-city tour with the Toughest Cowboy being awarded a Rocky Mountain ranch near Laramie, Wyoming at the end of the three-month contest.

<br />
“It happened on St. Valentines Day,” says Teri Stewart, an organizer who’s working to preserve the green space at DeKalb and Gordon avenues where hearts suddenly appeared over X’s on trees. “I don’t know who did it, but I think it was done to protest the clear cutting for new condos. And to show that there are a lot of treehuggers who object to cutting trees in a healthy green space.”<br />
<br />
The lot — which is actually two separate, privately owned pieces of land — is one of the last green spaces on DeKalb Avenue. The lot has been somewhat controversial. After finding out that the space was up for sale to develop as condos, area residents tried to raise funds to purchase the property and preserve the space as a park. They were unable to raise the cash and are now in litigation with the city of Atlanta, says Stewart, who’s representing the DeKalb residents in the lawsuit. The lawsuit argues that the city didn’t uphold its tree protection ordinance and is knowingly non-compliant with state and federal laws concerning the protection of a wildlife habitat. Stewart and others have now been fighting for six years to preserve the lot as open green space.<br />
<br />
“We love our trees, we love our oxygen and we love our wildlife,” Stewart says. “We have documented that it is an established wildlife space and there is no demand for new condo developments on DeKalb Avenue. As a matter of fact, the development one half block away is currently in foreclosure.”<br />

  • NAHUNTA, Georgia, February 20, 2010: About 50 members of the Georgia Knight Riders and Knights of the Ku Klux Klan rallied for a crowd of more than 500 on in the town of Nahunta, Ga., about 275 miles southeast of Atlanta. Klan members stood in ornate robes and pointed hoods with faces exposed in front of a crowd of mostly enthusiastic onlookers for a two-hour rally. The few hecklers in the crowd were harshly scolded by supporters, while several dozen protesters, including the NAACP rallied nearby.<br />
<br />
Several Klan members spoke on topics ranging from gun control, sexual offenders, the value of prayer in public schools and the need to vote. However, most of the group's hateful speech was focused on eliminating "the problems" of illegal immigration and "immigration in general." Standing next to a large sign that read, "Stop the Latino Invasion Now!" Imperial Wizard Jeff Jones referred to "people coming over from Mexico and Guatemala" as "third-world mud people." Faulting the current administration's immigration policy, Wolf said, "They are going to commit genocide on this Anglo-American race." Jones also blamed illegal immigrants for the lack of jobs, low wages, drugs, gangs and the spread of diseases in the United States.<br />
<br />
"We want them to take their sorry selves back to Mexico and stay out of our country," said Jones. "We have got so many Latinos walking over the border everyday. They are taking over the whole work force because honestly, very few -- I don't think even one-tenth of one percent -- has any job like a lawyer or a doctor."<br />
<br />
The rally ended with repeated chants of "White Power" as the Klan members raised their left arms in a brash Hitler salute.

  • This photo was shot at the Rialto Center during auditions for the Apollo Theater's Amateur Night. Anybody who wanted to try out had the opportunity as long as they were one of the first 300 in line at the Rialto Saturday morning. After they auditioned they were either informed that they were "going to New York" or offered a polite thank you.<br />
<br />
Dwayne Terry, 26,  Lawrenceville, Georgia was the eleventh person in line at the audition. He arrived outside the Rialto at 7:45 p.m., Friday night and slept on the sidewalk in front of the theater. "When.you really want something you have to go get it," he said "the biggest thing was I was so excited about the opportunity that sleeping on the sidewalk really did not matter." When this photo was taken in the audition room, Terry was minutes from his life long dream of trying out to perform at the Apollo. "I was meditating, I was thinking about ministering to the people in the room through my art." Dwayne, who goes by the performance name "Inspirit" describes his talent as "Inspirational Mime," during his performance he combines lip synching to Christian music sung by Yolanda Adams with miming. "What I try to do is lip sing every part of the song every word, every beat and then I try to portray it in mime, I don't think anyone else in the world has done this so completely." <br />
<br />
After Terry's performance he was not one of the 47 contestants Saturday who were invited to go to New York and perform at the Apollo, "I was really disappointed, of course, but I think god had a bigger vision for me, he has a bigger plan it was probably just to touch the people in that room. Next time the Apollo has another try out I will be there again because the inspirational mime is not just for the church but for the world, the world has got to see it."

A fired-up Ray McBerry of Georgia First stood under a red, white, and blue banner and denounced President Obama. "We don't intend to allow a foreign-born Marxist in the White House, or his Marxist attorney general, to destroy 200 years of American liberty," McBerry said. He added that "We don't plan on allowing them to use staged crisis events to have pretext for destroying American liberties." He was answered with applause and cheers.<br />
<br />
When asked after his speech if he was referring to the recent mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., as "staged crisis events," McBerry said he would "let people take it how they want to." <br />
<br />
Many people in the crowd came toting semi-automatic weapons, including Dwayne Locklear (pictured). The Rome, Ga., resident stood with his AR-15 across his chest and placed his hand over his heart during the morning's Pledge of Allegiance. "I am practicing my Second Amendment rights," he said. "You gotta keep the government in check and protect my home, family, and property."

  • This photo was taken at 5840 Bankhead Highway, Douglasville at Stoddard's Range and Guns.<br />
<br />
I've shot at gun ranges before and I always find some of the target options a little creepy. At the last range I visited you could bring pictures in of whomever you wanted and they would make a target from it for you to shoot.<br />
<br />
Ken Baye, one of Stoddard's owners, said in an email that he and his friend decided to open a gun store and range after his buddy Michael had a bad experience purchasing a gun, which he bought "for self-protection when he walks his Great Dane in Piedmont Park."<br />
<br />
I asked Ken if he thought gun-control laws made society safer. He replied that studies found that countries with stronger gun-control laws have more violence. Citing an article published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, he wrote: "Luxembourg, where handguns are totally banned and ownership of any kind of gun is minimal, had a murder rate nine times higher than Germany where are (sic) handguns are commonly owned." <br />
<br />
While this might be true, according to Gunpolicy.org, Luxembourg has seven times less gun homicides than the United States, the country with the the most privately owned guns in the world. So I guess it all depends on how you look at the statistics.
