Charlotte NC riots

It's where I use drive out of I live south of it just in SC.

 

1 dead tonight -- a civilian shot a rioter


Reporter getting knocked down by rioter:

 

Saw a bumper sticker a few weeks ago.

Guns don't kill people. Police do

 

Actually it looks like the person who was shot survived, but is now on life support & in critical condition.

 

We actually need a major devastating long disaster that would kill 50ish million Americans to bring this country together again and make it great

 

In the past 2 nights people have trashed businesses, looted and burned loads off trucks, injured one another and the police. Those who participated in the uglier side did nothing but reinforce negative stereotypes, and given the rest of America a reason to sit back and do nothing. Peaceful protests are always welcome, but the negative protestors overshadow the peaceful.

 

At home tonight outside Charlotte. Watched the news and it didn't seem to be a riot but rather a bunch of people milling around. Lots of guys with faces covered but that's about it. Cops in a line walking down the street in riot gear herding the people away from the area. Damage us being done true. Most of them are probably just there to see what's gonna happen.

Comfy at home.... We will see what's reported in the morning.

 

North Carolina governor Pat McCrory has now declared a state of emergency in Charlotte, and has initiated efforts to deploy the National Guard.

 

No, it really isn't.
