And we’re off!!!

Charlotte officials say they are preparing for more protests today following a night of violence over an officer-involved fatal shooting of an African-American man Tuesday in the University City area. The dead man was identified as Keith Lamont Scott, 43.

Sixteen police officers were injured Tuesday night in a series of clashes, and there were reports early Wednesday of motorists on Interstate 85 being hurt and their vehicles damaged when protesters threw rocks, bottles and traffic cones off interstate overpasses onto traffic below.

The officers hurt suffered mostly minor injuries, though one was hit in the face with a rock, officials sad.

At a Wednesday news conference, city leaders appealed for calm and promised a thorough investigation.

    So, when are blacks going to stop resisting arrest, and do what they’re told, in order that the cops can stop killing them?….seems simple enough….”Please put down the gun”…..”No”…..”Blam”….”Do not reach in that car”….”Sir, do not reach into that car”…..”Blam”….like I said, seems simple enough….

    The shape of things to come.

    If (when?) Trump wins – stand by for major league chimp-outs in a multitude of “inner city” areas.

    Some may try to make it to the ‘burbs”, but, well, most of us have rifles that say “no, turn around”.

    Think back to the Koreans on the roof of their store during the LA (Rodney) riots.

    Even a hood rat with an IQ hovering around 85 can figure that out.

      Yes, but some will use wave tactics to storm houses… though most will look for easier pray.

        Plus they’re gonna find out the hard way that when white people riot, they don’t burn down their own neighborhood, they’re gonna go to *your* neighborhood and burn it down.

    “Three or more tractor trailer trucks were stopped and looted on Interstate 85, and at least two fires were started on the interstate, as the protesters burned items removed from the trucks.”

    what a great idea. Let’s bite the hand that feeds us.

    Halt all deliveries to urban shitholes that have no impulse control.

    One story claimed that “Troubles have come to Charlotte”.
    I disagree.
    Now “Targets of Opportunity have come to Charlotte” sounds more accurate.

    Unfortunately the wife and I are very close to there. I can’t wait to find that nice place out in the country.

    Too bad one of those cars/trucks did not have an AR-15 in the front seat with a 30 round clip. They could have stopped and started to spray the bridge and then see how fast/bad they wanted to continue.. Fuckin’ yard apes……….
