Piedmont Park at 8:20pm
Just when you thought you heard it all, the internet prevails with more craziness. “Pick-up artist”, Daryush Valizadeh aka Roosh V owner of blog, “Return of the Kings” (for heterosexual, masculine men) has planned a global meet-up on February 6th to protest the legalization of rape on private property. Georgia has two set locations to carry-out these protest; Piedmont Park in Atlanta and The Arch in Athens.
Valizadeh has been noted for being extremely controversial for blog postings declaring that rape should be legal if it occurs in private, and that a woman’s value lies only in her beauty and fertility.
People of the world should be ashamed for trying to stop a legal and private happy hour for men. Now more men will wake up because of it.

Return of the Kings has arranged 165 meet-ups taking place in 43 different countries all scheduled around 8:00pm, these meet-ups have been described as, “tribal gatherings”. Readers of the blog have been directed to ask strangers, “Do you know where I can find a pet shop?” to detect other members of the meet-up.
Roosh wrote that he’s not concerned “feminist agent[s]” might infiltrate the group, but also told his followers who plan on attending that the event does not require “high trust,” and members should be careful about giving out personal information.
People have been blasting Valizadeh all over social media, including Toronto Mayor Norm Kelly:

Roosh V also claims to be the leader of the ‘Fat-Shaming Movement’, and says that fat people are “a threat to the planet”. He even had an appearance on Dr. Oz last year where he was rightfully ridiculed on national television.
