Regional Roundup: Gun Range Approved to Serve Alcohol, Man Reportedly Stabbed Over Pirated DVDs and Alleged Sexual Misconduct at White Water

A look at top Patch stories from around Georgia.

Powder Springs Gun Range OK'd to Serve Alcohol – West Cobb Patch

One of the two alcohol licenses approved by the Powder Springs City Council Monday came with little discussion and no debate.

It was for wine and beers sales for the recently opened Loma Pizzeria on Sailors Parkway. The license passed 4-1, with Councilwoman Nancy Hudson dissenting, as she typically does on alcohol issues.

But the other license, awarded to the $3.5 million Governor’s Gun Club being built at the corner of C.H. James Parkway and Sterlingbrooke Drive, was full of points and rebuttals.

Man Allegedly Stabbed Over Argument About Pirated DVDs – Norcross Patch

A 24-year-old man from the Norcross area told Gwinnett police he was stabbed in the back by someone selling pirated DVDs after he accused the person having "poor quality" products.

On Sept. 4, the man spotted another man who he knew sold pirated DVDs, so he walked over to buy some.

During their discussion, the two started arguing about the quality of the DVDs, mainly because the consumer accused him of selling poor-quality DVDs in the past. At the end of the conversation, the seller went back to his car for what the consumer thought was more DVDs.

When the seller returned, though, he allegedly attacked the consumer and stabbed him in the back.

Imagine that! A mockery of a representative calling an issue a mockery! How much of his outrageousRead More salary and benefit package is he willing to give up? And what he calls fact is seriously distorted information. Good leaders don't run and hide from an issue and then blame others for their shortcomings... I realize good leaders are hard to find.... but, why do we continue to tolerate mediocrity? A vacant seat would be just as effective as this congressman... actually, as I think about it, probably more effective.
