DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- Two students are under arrest for firebombing a car at a DeKalb County High School. Police said the students threw a bomb into another student’s car because of comments on a MySpace page.

The car outside Cross Keys High School was destroyed.

“I was actually pretty scared my car was right next to it and everybody was like, ‘It’s going to blow up, it’s going to blow up,’ and I was like, that’s my car,” said Rebecca Ramage.

Ramage, a senior at Cross Keys High School showed Channel 2’s JaQuitta Williams the black spots that are still on her 1986 white Mercedes. Ramage said she parked next to a light blue Lincoln Continental in the school parking lot. Police said teenagers tossed a homemade bomb inside the Lincoln.

“It was orange and black flames coming up from the car,” said Ramage.

DeKalb County school police said they quickly caught the students responsible. They arrested a 16-year-old and 18-year-old Hafez Abdulkadir.

Police said the incident began because a rival gang said something bad about another gang on a MySpace page.

"A lot of that goes on anyway, so we're concerned but most people don't pay it any mind. Stuff like that always goes on," said student Arianne Lovet.

Authorities said the suspects came to the parking spot twice, the first time was to knock out the windows of the car and the second time was to throw the homemade bomb inside.

No one was hurt in the incident. Police continue to investigate.

Gotta love Georgia.....I'm driving out of my development 2 weeks ago, and a cow just casually strolls right past my vehicle. I did not know whether 2 laugh or cry.

Graycap23 said:

I think you guys are next on the list of "evil southern cites that God says needs to be cleansed." First a drought and water shortages...tornadoes in downtown ATL...3rd graders plottin' murder...myspace gangs blowin' up cars...cows strollin'...

What about the zebra, though? Where does he fit in? Explain the hog situation.

noimageatall said:

The zebra fell off of a truck. The hogs got out of a fence not far from the freeway.

Oh.....and I forgot 2 mention a dead body this past Monday on the freeway.

Graycap23 said:

Oh, Lawd.

Yes, the apocalypse will commence in the ATL.

SCNDLS said:

Great.....when I was in Cali all of the crazy stuff was going on. Now it's followed me here.

Graycap23 said:

Okay, it must be you.

Correction: The apocalypse will commence at Graycap's house.

SCNDLS said:

Oh damn.....I need 2 hire some Blackwater cats.

Graycap23 said:

First off...I would really like to know wth a zebra was doing ON a truck?

Graycap23 said:

k..I like you and all, but could you like..um....not come visit me in Chicago?

noimageatall said:

Lol.....

Graycap23 said:

Nothin' personal...just scared of you is all.

noimageatall said:

I'm as gentle as a LION.

Graycap23 said:

yes, but God is after you.


What was this thread about again?



So, I'm understanding that gangs are now in the military, on myspace, in all the prisons, the music industry...what's next? PBS?

noimageatall said:

I'm doing the WORK.

Gangs are what makes this world "tick".

SCNDLS said:

Oh but don't forget about the people that got shot a hip-hop concert in Midtown Atlanta. Midtown Atlanta is trendy vintage stores & Latte-Land, it's the neighborhood of young artists, doctors, and impeccably dressed queens .How the hell are folks driving through Midtown shooting stuff up?? Something must be in Georgia's water because they are acting like they lost their damn minds

Ottensen said:

Funny, that you should say that cuz I'm watching a show on A&E about how Atlanta is the distribution hub for meth and they have more people addicted to "ice" than anywhere else. Maybe, that's what's in the water.

Stupidity flows like the river

The Feds
FBI
CIA
NSA
COPS
Drug Cartels
Homeland Security (or lack there of)
Congress.....I could go on.

SCNDLS said:

METH?

Meth labs are known to be easy to build, so if they're a hub I can only imagine how many bad asses have all kind of stuff boiling up in the basement.

I still will never understand how mofos will do something like that that will JACK your life up so QUICK. . Shooooot, all I ever had to do was look in the crater face of a meth head just one GOOD time and that was all the Public Service Anoouncement I needed to convince me that perhaps that might be some shit I do not need to try .

Damn, our children are running around on meth and making firebombs.... FIYAH-BOMBS!? yet we can't put together a decent science curriculum in our public schools that will enable them to compete in the global marketplace

That's messed up.

Ottensen said:

Sounds like done figured out quite of bit of science to be cooking meth and other checmicals. I'd be even more scared if they learned MORE science.
