I woke up to an alert on a police scanner app I have last night. Apparently mass riots broke out all over Charlett, NC. I have yet to check on any reports about all that went on over the course of the night but I bet it must have been rough.
I dont have tv , so I get the news after the fact . These people are not protesting , it's just a reason for them to act completely stupid . How can you expect anything good to come out of these actions . The police recovered a gun from the dead guy . Somebody said he had a book , there was no book found . The guys daughter gets on tv screaming and yelling and cussing , " he didnt have no gun , he had a book " all she was doing was repeating what someone said , she wasnt there , she doesnt know what he was doing . So before the truth can come out , lets go rioting , looting , destructing other peoples property , burning . Yea , all that is going to make everything better . The cops have partial video , and their saying so far it supports what the cops are claiming happened . Stupid people .
Stupid? Having fun busting stuff, tossing rocks at cops with no repercussions and coming home with a free TV to boot.... and all under the guise of a protest, that sounds like a down right grand evening to those people. While my morality would prevent me ever enjoying that, sadly their motivation is not beyond comprehension. The real stupidity is the politically correct left failing to grasp their complicity in all this carnage. But that of course is of no surprise. Would be a treat if the Dallas cop lawsuit against Obama, BLM and friends for their complicity in the shootings there opens just a few sets of eyes on that.
ABTFRYH - Always believe the first rumor you hear, that way you have an excuse to demonstrate or protest, whatever the latest euphemism for looting and rioting is currently fashionable.

I don't think it matters to the "protestors" as long as they can loot stores, destroy whatever they feel like (cop cars for example) and beat up white people (since they are "protesting" racism seems like the thing to do). Meanwhile, older folks in NYNY have been told not to go out after dark, and two teenage white girls in Sacramento were chased down and beaten by a BLM mob after they left a restaurant.
Um....BLM, WLM, YLM, BrLM, GrLM.......DO NOT!!! Chase me down when I'm leaving a restaurant! You will catch me! You will be sad!
Look at some of the pictures of people looting and rioting and the use of these tactics is explained. I think they are mostly just containing the violence until it dies down. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near there.

Reminds me of some of the long hot summers of my childhood in Cleveland (that's my Dad, still on duty after being shot at all night, July 1968) the three cops who were murdered that summer evening in 1968...my godfather "Uncle" Will Wolff is in the center.
I wish you could see better! It appears to my eye that there is a handgun beside the corpse! When the perp put his hands inside the vehicle my finger would seek trigger! Interesting times (from the old Irish curse)! Here in PDX we had race rioting in 1968, also. Two significant buildings were burned to the ground, including a large department store! I remember the Lloyd Center (the USA's first true mall) having police officers standing almost sholder to sholder on the building roofs. They had riot guns, what I think were deer rifles and Thompson sub guns with drum magazines! The Center wasn't attacked, and IIRC, no one was killed. Great photos, chimo! I'm sorry your God father was killed.
"F" those F"N thugs in Charlotte............they aren't protesting, they are looking for a reason to riot and loot.........Hope the Nation Guard goes in and crushes their collective souls............
Last night was about protests and didn't get out of hand. Yes, the rioters and looters were out in force on Tuesday and Wednesday night but not on Thursday. There were peaceful protests on Wednesday as well, and the protesters went home when it started to turn into a riot. I agree that the rioters need to be charged and taken off the streetop but many people at falling into the trap of not distinguishing between the protest and the riot and they are in fact Teo different things and two completely separate events. This is what they want. If you can't or won't see the difference and you lump them all together, you have fallen into the racial divide trap and are playing right into their hands and plan and I don't mean BLM, I mean their handlers.
What did the Charlotte cops say...like 70% of the troublemakers they ID'd were from out of town. Seems Soros has his own little QRF.
