‘Her death would not be in vain’: Petition could create new sex offender ID policy for ATL nightlife | News – Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia 2021-10-01 07:30:00 –
Atlanta (CBS46) — New petitions can make it difficult for sex offenders to enter metro Atlanta bars and nightclubs.
The petition already has nearly 10,000 signatures and was initiated by a friend of a local bartender who was kidnapped and raped.
Chris Anthony said it seems less than two months after his friend Mariam, 27. Abdulab Taken from him, “Honestly, when you don’t have an answer, what you know is still fresh.”
Police believe DeMarcus Brinkley kidnapped Abdullah from his boyfriend’s front yard and shot her shortly thereafter.
Her murder caused anger all over the city, “We need a community leader to start talking about this, “a community member said in a city protest.
Now, a new petition launched by a friend of Mariam aims to limit access to women like Mariam by sex offenders like Brinkley.
“”This is great for simply checking someone’s ID and raising their head, “said her friend Chris Anthony.
More than 7,000 people have already signed a petition for a new law requiring sex offenders to put some marker on their Georgia ID.
“I think it’s a perfect idea,” said Chris Anthony.
Markers allow bars and clubs to closely monitor known predators.
And this isn’t the first time this has happened in Georgia.
In 2019, the most risky sex offenders in Georgia had to wear a GPS ankle monitor.
But last year, the law was considered unconstitutional by the Georgia Supreme Court.
Sex offender Tom Church said the petition might have a chance to fight.
“”The Georgian Parliament has just lost the requirement for ankle bracelets and may consider this a good compromise. So now they could think of this as something they could use instead, “said the Church of Lawyers.
Mariam’s friends, like Chris Anthony, now want state leaders to take a closer look at this.
“As her friends, we are really grateful that this happened. You know that she wasn’t just dead, but her death wasn’t a waste, but rather a call to awaken. I know.”
