Second Night Of “Protests” In Charlotte Turn Violent

I watched the protests riots on TV off and on for a couple hours last night, and it was rather surreal. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Charlotte, and I had no idea that it was so brightly lit. You could pretty much see everything, including the large number of white people present and […]

Black Officer Shoots Black Man Reportedly With Gun, Charlotte Erupts
