It is not the teacher before you that manifests what you perceive as an awakening, but the awakening within you that manifests what you perceive as a teacher.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1345609 United States 05/30/2011 11:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe some of y'all don't understand how patriotic celebrations go down in the South. We drink. More than our usual. And all it takes is someone saying the wrong thing and ten of his friends/cousins/whoevers getting involved for things to spiral out of control. The police were probably just caught off-guard because it wasn't the 4th, since everyone knows part of the fun is making your own fireworks with whatever firearms you own. And most of us own them. I don't think there's a lot to this. And hell, maybe I'm wrong, but this wouldn't be the first time that a good time has gone wrong around here. |

And 30,000 people is a bit many for just a drunken brawl,even in Charlotte. It is not the teacher before you that manifests what you perceive as an awakening, but the awakening within you that manifests what you perceive as a teacher.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1308416 United States 05/30/2011 11:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From what I'm reading on blogs here's what REALLY happened... This was Speed week, some kind of NASCAR event... You know the type that's into NASCAR. We apparentally, anytime there's a large event or concert in Charlotte, hundreds of spooks mass around the transit terminal downtown to mug and molest the crowds after the show. Most of the time the crowds just hand over their wallets but the NASCAR crowd don't play that and started fighting back... more spooks came out of the ghetto, more of the speed week fans kept coming too and before long it had turned into a riot of 30,000. |

"Police are trying to put up metal barricades to keep people back [and] they're pushing them over. People yelling at cops 'Forget the police, y'all aren't gonna do anything! Y'all don't run this, we run this' type thing. Gang signs being thrown up and it's something out of a movie," witness Alex Fernelius said. Officers estimate there were between 25,000 to 30,000 people in the four block area of uptown Charlotte, with additional groups gathered around the Transit Center. more here...

Just a bunch of angry persons of a darker race having nothing else to do but be violent. Again. They don't have enough brains to create anything but more of themselves. Kind of like a virus. |
