what a dummy for blowing a good paying job and being sent to prison.
This is just the beginning all of them are going to get caught
Great job, high salary....ya may not be filthy rich but ya damn sure ain't poor.
Sad part, he's probably gonna receive a pension and health care. Provided by taxpayers.
@@justing6594 Upon conviction, he lost his pension and health benefits.....However, if he is pardoned, it whips the slate clean, making him eligible..
GREED!!
Sounds about right for Atlanta.
😂 You mean America!
Atl must be stopped.
Happens everywhere
@@CTheMuse don't be fool by what he meant
The mayor of Dalton, IL. is next.
Federal prison is a cakewalk regarding embezzlement! Only three years prison! What a joke!
The reporter toooooook me OUTTTTT in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “why did you do that when you were making such a high salary from the city”
Great question.
He isn't wrong
@@appiahallan not at all!!
1:21 😂😂😂 that sketch 😂😂😂
Same thing that crossed my mind lol
The defense attorney committed a classic BS answer claiming Mr. Beard committed several "mistakes". It was never a "mistake Mr. Grubman. Your client made several bad decisions. Stop sugar coating being a thief Mr. Grubman.
Dang $250k a year can live a good life 🧬. 🤔
Especially in GA
Who hired a 8 year old as a sketch artist?
Best laugh today 😂😂
LMAO
Exactly!
I was thinking the same thing like damn that sketch is a severe punishment 😂
@@Period-mw8fw The person who "drew"that should be locked up.
The guy got four years for being stupid when he was making $270k a year smh. They should also punish people robbing homes and stealing cars the same way
Why they sketched him like that😂
Atlanta a dumpster fire... as always
Kaseem Reed's stink will never leave city hall
Amazing he only got 3 yeàrs, going to Federal prison.
With good time he’ll be out in a year and a few months.
I hope the IRS charges him for the taxes owed on the income he failed to claim on his returns?
Is it me, or is everybody stealing everywhere everyday?
Well the majority of them are Democrats. And of those they are mostly the usuals.
It does feel like that
2 terms: One in office and one in jail!
👏👏👏👏 What happened to hard labor instead of taxpayer feedings???
He deserves jail
So does Trump
@@DemocratsUnite😂😂😂😂😂 what 💩🤡 name..
@@DemocratsUniteyour communist death KKKult is finished 😂
Prison. Jail is one year or less.
@@DemocratsUnite No he doesnt. Only you low life lying corrupt Dems do.
Greedy ......he should have been grateful the job he had.
“It’s racism!!!!!!” - Jim Beard
It's Cocaine!!!!!!!
It is!
They discriminate against cone heads!
The sketch artist was clearly high
🎉BEST COMMENT 😂🤣😂😁😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His race claims they're downtrodden but this is what they do when in a position of power and good money. SMH
Most of the time. No doubt about it.
Tell me your racist without telling me. Never mind the guy that stole 15 million from the firefighters, this is chump change.
Kaseem gave yaw the Nino Brown switch up...👀🙈
Wheres fani?lol!
Embarrassing!
1:34 Mr. Beard hired an attorney with a beard. He should've known he was going to jail.
😂❤
Is the courtroom artist working from home?
Just one of the reasons why I would never live in atlanta
Way too many lawless, evil criminal usuals.
YOU GOING TO JAIL
Oh oh my that is worth it. Now off to a no wall prison
Damn! When greed gets you by the ankle. I am sure wifey is packing as we speak
Nego you should of knew better dealing with money they were adding you up
When,are y'all going to check; DC Mayor Bowser! Help us😢
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
Wrong! Trump is above the law.😂
He was paid $260k a year salary for his CFO position in Atlanta. Greed has no limit.
When a lawyer with a beard finally gets a client called “Mr Beard”. Yes Mr Beard made some mistakes
That art drawing is horrible lol
He lucky to only get 3yrs
This is why the roads in ATL are bumpy
Shocking ! He can’t really be guilty can he ?
0:43 & 1:23 got love those illustration they really do him justice 1:50 the last one is a real masterpiece 😂
Is this Dalton, Ilinois or Dolton, Ga.
Kaseem Reed must have a mighty good damn lawyer.😮
Now that crook will pay with time.
This man should run for President and, to avoid going to jail, scream ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!!!!😂
EXCELLENT; NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
The sketch at 1:21 is straight out of "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai". Is this John Bigboote?
He paid to much for the shangrala, lol😂
Dang i remember reading about him purchasing the weapons and claiming it was for police; but, it took that long to convict.
He got off on that charge since the police confiscated them. Now they will use them against unarmed citizens.
What is it about that Role? Every year the CEO of that county is always doing something illegal
They should not serve in any government role.
Another one needs to go to jail too. You know who he is, please go get him.
why do people who have these type of jobs keep doing this.
The Tiffany saga brought me here.
Did you say the most powerful who.
Its those people. Day after day after day. Corruption and lawlessness is their thing.
Atlanta has become corrupt to the core.
💯
What the he.. are you talking about? Those ppl?
@@user-vf7kt9fy4i If you were not ignorant you would know.
Trump is a convicted felon
This is why I don't vote for anyone I'm not wasting my time
Loved the sketches
MISTAKES ??? Is that what you call crime now ? Just like “ misspoke “= Lying………. Pulllleeezzzzzee
If he was in law enforcement he would’ve been ok.
Stealing is not a mistake
Leaving above his needs.
Have you noticed the pattern from these people ?
No one is above the law...
Not unless they run for president again...
@@anthonyvoss9150ohh stop your baby whinny crying...they ALL are evil...💩🤡
TAKE FANI WILLIS WITH YOU!!!!! 👿👿👿👿
Money over morals he deserves to be in jail
POOOR Fulton Co Georgia………. It’s a dumpster fire !!!!
Take jail time and shut up Mr DEI hire
Scott grubman got a beard himself.😂
1:42 - Mr Beard's attorney looking like the name would fit him better...
Been going on for Decades.
Imagine that 😳
36 Months for living above your Means Not to bad!!! MAN WHY NOT STEAL MORE LIKE 1 BILLION FOR 240 MONTHS THATS MORE WORTH IT!!! LETS TALK ABOUT IT😂😂😂….
youre almost as dumb as he is
Well, most of my Accounting and Auditing professors advised us, students (1) Don't Embezzle money. But, if you do, (2) Go Big, leave America, and go to a country with no extradition agreement with the United States government.
(3) People who emblezze usually take small amounts, try to cover their tracks, and stay on the job until caught.
@@LoneWolf42389 SMART TAKE EVERYTHING.
City so broke they hired a sketch artist off fiverr
So,is he keeping all he stole after he has a short stay in prison?
Unless he's a stud in bed, his wife will be filling divorce papers and taking whatever is left after the government gets their money back.
Politicians sometimes develop sticky fingers when it comes to taxpayer money ... Everyone wants to have a BMW, Gucci shoes and Boss Suites,, flying first class and walk with swagger. They need to lock up his whole family as accomplices.
3 years not enough
Typical for Atlanta 🙄
Let me guess...............a DEMOCRAT ?
The sketch artist should get time
7th? How corrupt is Atlanta, or any other city?
Usual suspects
Nobody else would have gotten off on the machine gun charges. Only a politician.
There’s a lot of that going on in our political offices, it’s just a matter of time until they’re caught.!! While taxpayers continue paying their fees/fines.!!
Everybody in Atlanta is crooked?
Ten years would have been about right, it's the broken culture.
Why don’t he just appeal or threaten the judge like Trump! Hopefully sentencing will be months away like they did for Trump.
From the Eiffel Tower🗼 to the Big House .
Ah the Atlanta dems….. what a mess this town is! Enjoy your vacation in the joint, it’s all inclusive!
Fani is next
Ok, MAGAt.😂
Good Riddance!
Damn. You can’t do what they do and think you’re going to get away with it. But you should have taken your funds and built your own business. 💔got danggit got danggit
Another Blackman caught ripping off his people, unfortunately in most major cities this is the norm not the exception. Poor morals and character is the root cause!
When Tiffany Henyard getting arrested????
13 %?
Another democrat bites the dust
No surprise
Blacklanta culture is out of control.
Greed!
