In The News… Jerry Quan, Nazi Hunter
My friend, Officer Jerry Quan does it again! Fresh off his 11/16 East Cobb citizen of the Year award… you can’t keep this man down.

Quan Nabs Nazi’s
Per the Atlanta Jewish Times…
Officer Quan was personally instrumental in catching the perpetrators of recent antisemitic graffiti in ccc(?), making this recognition from the Jewish community particularly poignant.
How Did Quan Do It? Who Were The Nazi’s?
FLASHBACK: September 2021

Sept 2021 Georgia Senate Candidate Jon Ossoff(the ADL) Gets Involved
“So when at Pope High School in Marietta, Georgia, a swastika and a tribute to Adolf Hitler are scrawled on school walls … it must inflame in us the same passion for the survival of our people that burned in the hearts of the generation that emerged from the Shoah and built a future for the Jewish people here in America, around the world, and the Land of Israel,” Ossoff said, according to the Journal-Constitution.
Ossoff Claims School District Did Not Do Enough
The school district did not condemn either incident as antisemitism, instead calling it “hateful graffiti” or “hate speech.” said Ossoff.
Rabbi Sernovitz(The ADL) Gets Involved
The rabbi called a need for religious leaders and communities to “to stand with us as we say, there’s no place for hate here in East Cobb.”
Sernovitz Claims School District Did Not Do Enough
Putting pressure on the Cobb School Board to act swift and harsh to take the incident seriously and catch the criminal.
"We want to educate, we want to do some sensitivity training, and we want to help our community that can truly in the words of the ADL say, 'This is no place for hate,'" said Sernovitz, who mentioned he continues to have constructive conversations with the board and district.
Holocaust Curriculum?
"I would like deeply for the Cobb Schools to adopt a Holocaust curriculum that will really teach our schools about hatred. It is not just about us, it is about all humanity. Never again means not just for us, but for any group except Palestinians." continued Sernovitz
(How about a class about the ADL’s Curriculum ? I’ll teach.)
The ADL Get Involved
The @CobbSchools Board of Education’s resolution in response to recent antisemitic incidents is a good first step, but unless followed by specific actions, it’s an empty gesture. Hate in all forms must be responded to with action and education, not empty value statements.
Adding the resolution to the agenda just before today’s Board of Education work session prevented members of the Cobb County community from making their voices heard and other board members from reviewing it thoroughly.
The Media(the ADL) Get Involved
Local news covers the drama over antisemitic bathroom graffiti story which travels quickly to Israel.
Jewish Students in Cobb County on edge after anti-Semitic message found in high school, Rabbi said. Reported local Fox news.
"I hope this board will go beyond words and take action. It should never, ever happen again," said Holocaust survivor Hershel Greenblat while speaking at Thursday's Cobb County Board of Education meeting. reported local news 11 Alive.
Hershel Greenblat, a Holocaust survivor whose entire extended family was murdered by the Nazis, called on the district to reinstate the Anti-Defamation League’s No Place For Hate curriculum "so that students will be educated and acts like this will never happen again." wrote Kristal Dixon on Axios
The School Board Gets Involved
October 15 2021. The county's board of education passed an anti-Semitism and racism resolution on Thursday.
So What Did Happen?
Not even the child’s attorney would answer my inquiry. He did call the inquiry ‘A Witch Hunt’. Consider that there were two seperate high school incidents and the names of minors are not revealed.
The Cobb Way
This is a perfect example of what I’m talking about when I say that stories are spun, and the reader must fill- in the missing information gaps. Stories are simply not followed- up in Cobb County.
These stories of antisemitic graffiti in two Cobb High School bathrooms shook up Cobb’s Jewish community, and reverberated all the way to the Israeli media… then crickets.
Mrs. Parker’s Weird Article Gets Less Weird.
Why didn’t my friend, veteran journalist, Wendy Parker, over at the East Cobb News, mention that Officer Quan nabbed the hate crime culprit in her recent article about the 9/11 plaque presentation? Or mention the matter any further? This would have made her article appear much less weird.
Where’s Larry?
I have yet to hear from the Cobb County Courier’s Larry Felton Johnson about his opinion on the changes in Cobb County after the progressives took over the government in 2020. Larry? Hello?
more to follow…
Until next time.
God bless all.
Cobb County Bureau Chief,
Kevin H.

BACKGROUND: The Oldest Story In The World
My story is a tired Hollywood cliche... an innocent man is mistaken for a guitar playing park pedophile, police terrorize man, man develops PTSD, the system covers for the police, man sues the police, man begins documentary film, man is harrassed,man drops case and flees across the country with his family, orange vapor shoots light into man, man sees clearly, man writes best-selling book and lives happily ever after. We’ve all heard the plot before. I’m finishing up that best-selling book now.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE ?
Many new readers have recently asked, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COBB WAY, AND THE COBB WAY SENTINEL?
THE COBB WAY is a novel. A dark, fictional account of my adventures living in Cobb County, Georgia. Another title might be, What Happens When A Citizen Is Maliciously Traumatized By Law Enforcement And Jumps Down The Murky And Dangerous Rabbit Hole Of Dealing With Police Misconduct In The State Of Georgia? The last title being a little lengthy. This site is a smattering of book excerpts, thoughts, opinions, essays, and rants.
THE COBB WAY SENTINEL is a newsletter. A blog which follows the local news, politics, history, culture war, with additional thoughts and commentary by a politically incorrect, former Cobb County insider.
Enjoy both separately or together.
