Charlotte NC Tonight!!

[dben002]

Anybody watching the news ?

Can the political correctness.

Even if it takes LEO's from 4 surrounding states these people need to be arrested charged and have their day in court.

Let the police do their job and stop hindering them.

This is out of hand... I support the LEO's

I live in Charlotte and work in uptown. I will second what you have just stated. Between riots last night... Not protests as some media sources have stated. And what is occurring tonight, somebody better bring in the national guard cause things can go south quickly. Last night people stopping tractor trailers on the highway, stealing their load and lighting the remaining goods on fire in the middle of the highway while throwing rocks and bottles at cars is out of control. If I had been on that road with my family I don't know how I would have responded. All I know is, I am doubling down on the firearms I keep with me each day when I go to work and pick up my kids. I'm at the point of carrying a rifle or shotgun in the car. Maybe I'm over reacting but the people who are responding with this kind of violence have me concerned for the well being of my family.

If possible avoid the situation and get outta dodge for a few days.

What's worse is I have to leave town for a few days for work, leaving my wife and kids home. According to the news this morning. All the businesses in uptown have been destroyed. All glass windows and doors destroyed. Stores looted. This is awful

The big three; Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Duke Energy declared a state of emergency. All employees should stay home. Absolutely crazy

I'll be glad when this is over.

My fear is that it's just starting.

 

[dmthomp32]

I'm hoping with the national guard moving in that things will calm down. But there is the chance that things can escalate. I guess we will see how "passionate" these protestors are shortly.

For this to stop there has to be real consequences for rioting. Only then will these idiots stop.

Anybody else think it's time to take the gloves off?

Absolutely.....no question about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, it is well past time to take the gloves off. Everyone has the right to protest, but no one has the right to damage, loot, and attack others. One protester murdered last night.

This **** has got to be stopped, before it really gets out of hand and becomes widespread.

I work in charlotte as a leo. this week the mossberg 500 8 shot is in my trunk and my model 64 with golden sabers is by my seat and my duty gun is with me also. and that is my carry options for folks who want to try to stop me from getting home. I agree they need to take the police tactics back to the 1960s and bust heads and drag them in jail. but now with the crappy leaderless country we live in we cant stop crooks. Instead we make cops the enemy.

to put it mildly this world is becoming a really terrible place

If I hear one more talking head use the term "protests" to describe what's going on Charlotte, I think I'll scream.

"Protesters" don't loot...or burn...or throw rocks at the police...or murder other protesters. People who engage in such behavior are not protesting, they are breaking the law, rioting if you will...and they need to be stopped.

Watching the news last night, I was reminded yet again why I don't have the patience or tolerance to be a LEO...God bless those guys, and may they stay safe.

Thank you for your service and I can't express the frustration I feel for anyone in Law Enforcement. I agree that tactics need to be escalated and it's time to put people in their place.

100% agree. The fact that the news media is still referring to this as violent protests is ridiculous. Maybe I'm missing something but every image I see doesn't show anyone with a sign or a slogan like what you see in New York and other cities right now. Instead all I see is looting, unnecessary violence and selfish acts that are going to further put Americans in compromised positions. It's a sad day to see this happening in Charlotte.
