Latest Excuse for Mayhem...Right Here in My Town

So, it finally happened near my home here in Charlotte. Black guy is shot by the police who say he brandished a gun upon exiting a car and did not drop it when ordered to do so. The daughter live streams the aftermath on Facebook for over an hour. Within hours, the thugs and hooligans show up to create whatever sort of chaos can be created to facilitate looting and stealing. Many of these people are so out of touch they are still using the 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot!' meme. Most businesses downtown are sending employees home early before a planned demonstration tonight.

Fortunately, there are body and dash cams, although they are not yet released.

Stay tuned.

If you are a Canuck that engages in gratuitous bashing of the US, you are probably on my Iggy List. So, save your self a bunch of typing a response unless you also feel the need to gratuitously bash me. If so, have fun.

Here I thought you were talking about your mayor and city council not being flexible with our governor on the bathroom bill.

Last night we had the opposite happen. A cop car's automated license plate reader caught a BMW with expired registration. When they tried to pull the woman over she ran. When they finally got her stopped in front of a house on a major local street she locked the doors and refused to get out of the car. Before it was all over they had broken the passenger's window and dragger out of the car by her ankles while she screamed and cussed at them. All of that was filmed by the home owner that she stopped in front of.

Home owner is black
Driver is black
Cop 1 is white
Cop 2 is white
Several backup cops were of different races

No one on Long Island is losing their shit over this one. In fact the video is up on Facebook and most people are wondering why the cops didn't bounce the woman around a little more just for good measure.

So maybe there is some hope.

Here's the NY times article talking about it.

http://www.nytimes.com/...police-shooting.html

Interesting that they don't mention the race of the cop that shot the guy. Hmmm.... why is that?

Hah! Yeah, quite a turn of events on that, hey? The governor and others come up with a way to make everybody happy until some democrat calls around to all of the democratic council members telling them not to do the compromise because they want to continue using the issue as a campaign point to get McCrory out of office. So, he gets villified for being a guy that can 'reach across the aisle'.

It amazes me that this wouldn't have been an issue if the mayor and city council of Chapel Hill had passed an ordinance like this. We all (and the state reps) would have seen this for what it is/was - "Ah, that's Chapel Hill for you" would have been the response. Instead, the in-coming Charlotte mayor, who made it the key issue in her platform, is able to get it passed (against state law). Why did Charlotte voters not ask her about more pressing issues like Charlotte-Mecklenburg school funding or race relations?

It's ok for blacks to loot and riot.

We all know they aren't capable of civilized behavior.

Right, Barry?

Why would they lose their shit? She wasn't shot, she wasn't beaten, she was forcibly dragged from the car.

Hillary, I guess knowing she has no LEO support basically sided with the BLM. The Tulsa incident clearly looks like murder at this point. Charlotte doesn't. She seems a lot smarter at watching what she says compared to Obama. Because she referred to the Tulsa victim as unarmed, but not the charlotte one. However, did Bonnie and Clyde's family deserve condolences and prayers?

Weird.

I read it and they did mention the race of the cop, so it's not very interesting at all. What's interesting/unfathomable is the point that you are trying to make.

For some reason, I don't think a video of the perp having a gun in his hand will make one bit a difference to some.

Of course, every one does.

Yup, Christianity is pretty weird.

Prayers are not just for Christians. Maybe he was referring to Islamic prayers?

If you think she is a good Christian you are more brainwashed than I imagined. Democrats certainly don't value that trait. So why would she even bother unless she was pandering to blacks not likely to get Out and vote for her.

Even Obama is worried about something I called before this whole thing started.

You didn't ask about Clinton, you asked about the rationale for intercessory prayer. (Remember Bonnie and Clde's family?) As for the rest of your post:

You are simply wrong, and offensively so. Please step out of your little bubble, and come to my church. You'll find folks of all political persuasions are welcome. In the meantime, I would suggest that denigrating the faith of 10's of millions of people is pretty low, even by the extremely low standards of the LR.

Mrs. Duffy and I (and the little one) went a Unitarian service (long story about our brief search for "something more") and they were most definitely left leaning democrats… and freaks of God.

If you consider hearing a half hour of union worker propaganda during a sermon to be molestation, then yes, she (the minister) touched me in my dirty places.

This bullshit happened close to my house yesterday that had the streets tied up all day. The dumbass burgular hit a hydrant, was ejected from the car and died. His stupid family and friends cried the police did not need to shoot at him and a few of them were trying to duke it out with some of the officers. One or two were arrested.

If these cops were wrong prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Where is the outrage for the approximately 44 other people that were murdered yesterday?

CNN is showing the stand down now. A number of people are so upset that they had to loot a store because of the injustice...

I also saw a great girl for Dave Luscan. A white girl is standing in front of the police with her hands in the air, not sure what that means. Not sure if she is wearing a button but looks like a match made in heaven.
