big star wars nerd here, I have to explain how much that is a HORRIBLE idea, aside from the horseshit racist reasoning behind destroying an ENTIRE CITY AND ITS’ SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES THAT WOULD KILL FIVE MILLION PLUS PEOPLE, though this prick doesn’t give a shit… he/she would love to see all the ‘unamericans’ killed for ‘stealing’ Atlanta from the ‘traditional’ (*cough* white *cough*) southerners.
Like with what Skide said, a single reactor ignition blast still devested Jedha, not utterly destroys it but now… well… it doesn’t look pretty… https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/4/48/Jedha_SW38.png/revision/latest?cb=20171115221112
And Tarkin used a single reactor ignition on Scarif, which appears to be Earth sized and it was like an ASTEROID IMPACT… not to mention that laser BOILED THE OCEANS WHEN IT HIT. So, by that reasoning, it’s safe to say that if a Death Star Laser would hit Atlanta, not only would Atlanta be destroyed abut a good chunk of Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama would go with it, then it would engulf the rest of North America in a massive fire storm that will put so much ash into the atmosphere that it would block out the sun entirely, damning the planet to a slow death. Basically, the entire planet would be fucked royally if these assholes ever get their hands on something like the death star, and carry out this insane plan.
To these bastards, is ‘irredeemable’ why? because the city isn’t as white as they like it be… I swear these fuckers are going to be the end of our species…
