An Atlanta security guard was brutally murdered outside a restaurant on the city’s southwest side earlier this week.
Investigators say the shooting happened around 7 p.m. Monday at American Wings & Seafood. The victim, identified as 51-year-old Anthony Frazier, was shot in the back of the head.
Surveillance video released to the public shows exactly how the deadly encounter played out.
Mr. Frazier is walking up the sidewalk when the young perp sneaks up from behind him and fatally shoots the older man.
Local patron Kam Kae told WSB-TV that the victim was a standup guy.
“So attentive, he always watched the door. Why would somebody do that to him?” she asked.
“For the most part, they’re very wholesome people, the owners themselves. Usually, they’re always on point, very attentive with orders. I know that they hire security just for their safety as well as the consumers safety. He was a good guy,” she added.
Along with the suspect who was wearing a black Nike ball cap and carrying a camouflage backpack, police want to speak with several witnesses, one of which saw the incident but declined to intervene or administer aid to the victim.
Several others showed up after the shooting and appear to rifle through Mr. Frazier’s clothes. Police put out a photo of all of those involved:
Police are looking for these five individuals.
Very hard thing to watch happen, not only the cold-blooded murder of a responsible citizen but the complete indifference to it by those witnesses in the neighborhood. Hopefully, this is not a sign of the times. (THEY ARE!!! Grumpy)
These guns have been legal and unregulated since the time of the Pilgrims. But long before the president’s announcement, Pennsylvania Democrats were already pushing six “ghost gun” bills that would make privately made firearms illegal.
So why isn’t the Biden Administration trying to regulate those objects?
The answer is that this president is not as interested in protecting public safety, as much as he wants to implement a radical gun control regime. The new ATF rule could incarcerate gun owners for committing non-violent, highly technical violations of complex and unconstitutional laws, while doing nothing about the rising number of crimes committed by real criminals.
Predictably, the murder rate, which had been on a downward trend for over 20 years, spiked. In fact, 12 Democrat-controlled cities from Philadelphia to Portland broke homicide records last year. These are 12 cities where leaders have coddled criminals, yet inexplicably, did everything possible to discourage law-abiding individuals who merely wish to exercise their Second Amendment-protected rights. Philadelphia was no exception.
The spike in crime across our country is the result of the failed leadership and the social policies of left-wing radicals. It has nothing to do with firearms enthusiasts building guns in their garages and home workshops.
The anti-gun left may try to demonize these firearms by referring to them as “ghost guns.” But the fact remains that hundreds of thousands of honest gun owners today are making their own legal guns — and virtually none of these guns will be used in any crime.
The White House claims that serializing firearms is necessary to stop criminals, but in reality, there is no evidence that registering firearms — or stamping them with serial numbers — prevents crime. Virtually every gun used in a crime already has a serial number.
So why has Joe Biden declared war on legal gun owners? In a word: control.
Serialization is not designed to stop criminals. It’s intended to register the law-abiding, which history shows is the first step toward confiscation. And if you don’t think confiscation could ever occur in this country, just recall Beto O’Rourke yelling: “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47!”
The double-standards by the anti-gun left are breathtaking. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro was at the Rose Garden ceremony, applauding the president’s restrictions on homemade firearms. Never mind that Shapiro’s office has been accused of illegally transferring a homemade gun to a television journalist preparing a story on the issue without conducting a background check; that would violate both state and federal law. The transfer was made to facilitate an NBC News report on a local supplier of P80 kits.
With the anti-gun left, we constantly see “rules for thee, but not for me.” The Biden administration openly admitted that he ordered this “ghost gun” regulation because he “was having trouble getting [gun control] passed in the Congress.” That is lawless and anti-constitutional behavior. The president is not a king who can issue decrees on a whim.
In our system of government, Congress makes the laws. Gun Owners of America will be working with pro-gun congressmen and senators to overrule this unconstitutional decree.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida’s lone statewide elected Democrat, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, plans to sue the Biden administration Wednesday to try to block a federal rule that prohibits medical marijuana users from buying guns or maintaining concealed-carry permits.
The lawsuit targets a federal form that asks whether the gun buyer is an unlawful user of drugs and specifies that marijuana is illegal under federal law. A person allowed by the state to use marijuana must then check “yes,” which results in denial of the purchase. Lying by checking “no” runs the risk of a five-year prison sentence for making a false statement.
Fried, whose office oversees concealed weapons permits and regulates some aspects of medical marijuana, argues in her lawsuit that the form violates the Second Amendment rights of lawful medical marijuana patients and runs afoul of a congressional budget prohibition on federal agents’ interfering with state-sanctioned cannabis laws.
