    If you're passing thru Charlotte NC, better check the news. I staged in Salisbury for my Pageland Walmart delivery. Overhead signs said only "road closed 6 miles." Figuring construction, which I didn't care about since I was exiting to I-485.

    No, it was demonstrators blocking I-85, making their point by destroying the private property of people and business who had nothing to do with the matter.

    It serves you well to have a source of news online that works during off peak hours. Breakingnews.com is one source. RT is another (For international situations especially affecting America on weekends when no one else will report...) and Zero Hedge generally provides information in near real time as they are doing now during the riots there in Charlotte. The problem is ZH is a little bit too fringy for most.

    As far as the riots... they can burn it. I don't care. Even if they rioted in Arkansas, they can burn that too. I still don't care. Society has fracture points and People do not understand how to properly work within the political structure regarding Police Actions and Laws.

    Charlotte is not a nice city. If I remember correct it's a banker's town that closes up at 5 sharp city wide and is very bad towards homeless and black. No wonder they have problems. Been brewing since the 60's

    Those rioters will make good future grocery warehouse workers. They can transition right into that with no culture shock.

    I know it's bad NC and Tulsa,but if cops wasn't so freely with their guns shooting like target practice these protesters wouldn't be out.They've had enough.

    I heard about it first on channel 19.

    I'm sure you'd feel the same if that was your small business being destroyed by someone making a point. Or a family member injured or dead by someone protesting by tossing a brick off an overpass thru their windshield.

    No, what's brewing is widespread media coverage without any established facts, and a bunch of criminals using that as an excuse to go do bad things and get away with it because racism.

    It won't be long before the law abiding people being victimized by these riots have had enough.
