YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz addressed the media Wednesday about what the city is doing to keep its community safe following the brutal killing of 22-year-old Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus last week. When discussing immigration issues, including the fact that Athens defined itself as a "sanctuary city" — during the conference, attendees began shouting at Girtz, calling him a “liar” and telling him to resign. The attendees continued to accuse him of having “blood on his hands” for Riley’s death.
