I live near Charlotte, and the initial violence that happened on Tuesday night was only 15-20 minutes down the street from me - that is NOT COOL.
Steve - I agree with you - the daughter got on the TV and stated that her dad had a "book" and was reading the book in the car . . . What ? She is part of the cause of all this violence - her family should be taken to court for inciting a riot ! ! In addition to that comment, the news media down here is posting additional "information" ( or should I call it mis-information ) that he was a "pillar of the community" . . .
Another thing that most of you might not know, 70% of the people that are being arrested are from out of state ! ! The people are driving from who knows where, to North Carolina, not to protest the shooting, but to take part in the rioting, the madness, the looting, and destruction for the fact that they can try and get away with it.
The National Guard has been called in and "my city" is being patrolled by M-16 wielding National Guards to try and maintain the peace and prevent the damage. I'm very thankful that they're here, doing their jobs ! ! Thank you National Guard !
Plenty of buildings have already been damaged, looted, as well as trucks stopped on the interstate, the contents pulled out and burned in the median. All along, there were rocks being thrown off bridges at the innocent by passers vehicles as they were attempting to go home.
I go to bed at night now with my Kimber 45 ( and 2 additional loaded clips ) sitting next to the bed.
This is hard to believe it's really happening. But it is.
