Additional story earlier this week:
New photos released to find woman accused of starting Wendy's fire during protests
ATLANTA -- Atlanta Fire Department released new images from its investigation into a Wendy's fire during protests Saturday night.
The fire destroyed the fast-food restaurant off University Avenue, where 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed by an Atlanta officer. The investigation into his death is ongoing.
Atlanta police previously released photos of two women connected to the fire. Today, fire officials released clearer photos of one of the women.
Chief Fire Investigator James Oliver said the fire was started in multiple locations using everything from homemade blow torches to fireworks.
There are multiple suspects but quality photos are only available of two of them, according to Oliver.

(11,488 posts)According to fire department investigators there were multiple fires started simultaneously with items ranging from torches to fireworks. I have to wonder if Ms. White and the others involved were hoping to make the peaceful protesters look bad, whether they felt arson was a viable means of protesting, or if they were simply thugs looking to have some 'fun'.

(36,147 posts)"Randy Travis, of Fox 5, wrote on Facebook, Atlanta Fire Rescue investigators believe theyve identified the woman in this photo who was seen helping set fire to the Wendys in the wake of the Rayshard Brooks shooting. They say shes 29-year-old Natalie White of Gwinnett County. Interestingly, thats also the name of the girl friend Brooks repeatedly told APD officers had just dropped him off that night at the Wendys. Weve been unable to confirm its the same person. We talked to Whites mother Friday and asked whether her daughter knew Brooks. She refused to comment and ended the conversation. AFRD is asking if anyone knows Whites whereabouts to call 404-577-TIPS or the arson tip line 1-800-292-5804."

But Atlanta Police have declined to answer questions about that presumed relationship.
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)But I can at least sympathize if she was the GF. Anyone else there is really no excuse for arson.
Still though she should probably be charged. Someone could have got hurt.
George II
(67,782 posts)...the Atlanta Police Department has never confirmed any connection between this woman and Mr. Brooks. But none of the news outlets have said anything further since Saturday, probably thinking they may have jumped the gun. Except of course for Fox News.
Apparently "Natalie White" is a somewhat common name in Atlanta.
It's just a bizarre twist on a truly tragic incident, and that connection has been left dormant since Saturday.
*Just reread my post - I didn't mean "correct" regarding the report on Saturday but your post was correct. Could be confusing.

(101,154 posts)Joined Twitter in 2014, I can find tweets from 2019 (featuring cops and cute animals), but nothing that indicates it's anything more than a Twitter account.
And "snitches" implies that it's OK to burn down the Wendy's. I'm not convinced.

(7,681 posts)That this woman was his girlfriend?
Then watch the video. He says her name several times.
eta: removed video. didn't want to link the twitter account it was on. Video is genuine but you'll have to find it yourself.

In case you were wondering:
Natalie White in Atlanta, GA
We found 46 records for Natalie White in Atlanta, GA. Select the best result to find their address, phone number, relatives, and public records.

By the way, this thread has been pretty much dormant until you decided to resurrect it (and you hadn't posted in it until this afternoon). Wonder why?

ps. And not for nothing but you know perfectly well if I'd started a new thread you'd have complained about that.

Rather presumptuous.

(7,681 posts)Perhaps you should read the quoted tweet and think about what it says. You might find it introduces a point of view not previously expressed. One I found interesting and relevant. Which is why I posted it.
Or maybe you won't. Either way it still not a "response to you"
And with that I am done here. Toodle-oo!

(101,154 posts)when the police are the problem, not the crime scene. I don't think saying that someone is a "snitch" for giving information about an alleged arsonist is a good idea, or that the account saying it has the best interests of "Midwest People" at heart.

(67,782 posts)...or contact information, or anything other than their twitter account. They have a barebones profile but they do say "DM for contributions".
They're certainly not Reuters or CNN or Associated Press!
And still nothing further from the Atlanta authorities since her name was mentioned on Saturday.

(95,237 posts)As for the content, there does not seem to be enough information available for any solid conclusion to be drawn. It might be helpful to know the location of the store where the surveillance footage was taken.
George II
(67,782 posts)...for someone named Natalie White, and it was speculated that she might be somehow related to Rayshard Brooks. Nothing new, and days later that still hasn't been confirmed - both points mentioned here on Saturday. But apparently some want to run with speculation that has yet to be proven.
BTW, there are 46 documented residents of Atlanta with the name Natalie White!
