The Media Gets It Wrong, Again!



 HQ For DeKalb's Police, Fire Rescue, Emergency Management, Public Safety, 911 and more!  This is Tucker!
But a report coming from this location does NOT mean the crime was committed in T ucker.
The news media falsely reported that a crime was committed in Tucker, simply because they were getting information from the police HQ, which is located in Tucker. This is not the first time this has happened.

Save Tucker! posted the correct locations based on the addresses given by police from the beginning.  (see above.)  We asked for a retraction.  We have also asked local media to  please be more careful in their rush to get a story on the air.  Many Tucker residents were on edge as they were being told the carjacking happened in their community.

Because this subject did come up again, it gives us another opportunity to point out to the residents of the proposed Lavista Hills that they should seriously be worried about the plan to form a department separate from the county to take care of their  police needs.  Check out this map that shows how close they already are to quality police response:



Save Tucker! would also like to thank Decaturish for getting the location right and reporting the follow up to the story so resident knew the suspects had been caught:

Welcome to Smoke Rise, Soon to be Tucker, GA

This could be the change that residents will see if Tucker 2015 is successful in getting its referendum nto a ballot and voters approve it.  The driving force behind the city of Tucker has been the leadership within the community known as "Smoke Rise, GA."  Smoke Rise residents currently have addresses that say "Stone Mountain, GA" and many of them worked hard in order to create a separate identity for themselves, petitioning the U.S. Post Office to change their official name to "Smoke Rise."  While the Post Office did not agree to change the official name, they did agree to allow "Smoke Rise" as a recognized alternative to "Stone Mountain" that could be used interchangeably as long as it accompanied their 30087 zip code. It is important to note that these residents did not ask the Post Office to recognize their use of "Tucker" as an acceptable alternative.  They asked to be called "Smoke Rise." It appears t...

Do These Families Feel "Welcomed" at DeKalb County's Schools?

Georgia counties where 50 or more unaccompanied minors were released from Jan. 1 through July, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services Administration for Children & Families. Cherokee County 65 Cobb County 138 DeKalb County 347 Fulton County 64 Gwinnett County 266 Hall County 85 WHO knows the truth about what is happening in our schools and how quickly are they acting to protect their own neighborhoods, drawing their own borders and leaving everyone else holding the education tab for the immigrant population THEY helped bring here?    Do the new city proponents claim to know anything about a city - school connection?  Or do they do the typical  political  double speak and merely deny, deny, deny?  WHAT do they know that they are not telling the rest of us?  WHO do they know and HOW will they benefit?  If you do not know the answers then you are probably on the losing end of...

Briarcliff or Lakeside? Two Proposals Cut From the Same Cloth

On our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/SaveTuckerFromLakesideCity , we were recently challenged to prove that there was a connection between the city proposals of Briarcliff and Lakeside. While a simple Google Search of the two terms together can help anyone who wants to research this issue for themselves, here are a few of the clues that tipped us off about this unholy union: 1.    This article by Briarcliff spokesperson Herman Lorenz  in the North Druid Hills / Briarcliff Patch: The Briarcliff and Lakeside organizations. By  Herman Lorenz (Open Post) Updated October 31, 2013 at 5:37 am     42   Why are there two organizations in the area talking about a new city?  The City of Briarcliff Initiative appreciates all of the work being done by the Lakeside City Alliance  educating  the community about the values and opportunities that come from being a city. We are in agreement with most aspects of Lakeside’s educa...
