‘Kneel-In’ protest planned outside stadium before Panthers-Eagles game
Martinsville Bulletin ^ | October 12, 2017 | BY JOE MARUSAK

Nearly 100 pastors and community leaders plan to hold a “Kneel-In” protest outside Bank of America Stadium before the start of the Carolina Panthers-Philadelphia Eagles NFL football game on Thursday night.

The protest intends to highlight ongoing police brutality and social and racial injustice, just as former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick did while the national anthem was played before a 2016 NFL game, Bishop Kevin Long of Temple Church International-Charlotte told the Observer.

“These things have yet to be properly addressed in our judicial system and the like,” Long said.

When I knew them, all the kneeling in the world wouldn’t help the Eagles win ...

Good. Let them pay the $25 to $75 to get into the stadium parking lot.

Thank God they aren’t talking about repairing the Black Family and living wholesome lives.

Don’t they need a permit to occupy a public space for this demonstration, or is blatant ignoring of the law another way to ‘virtuesignal’? I.e, White Man’s law is not to be observed here. Round em up, move em out!
Stage your tantrums elsewhere.

I hope a bunch of counter protesters show up and dress in a way that will make hilarious photos with all the people kneeling in front of them. Maybe as The Pope? A Band Conductor, etc? What else?

I want all these aholes inside the stadium just to help fasten the demise of this putrid sport.

As usual, the blacks are blaming everyone else for their failings. Yes, there are some bad cops and yes there is some police violence, but it isn’t the extent that these blacks want people to believe. Maybe if they focused on helping black youth and took responsibility for their own actions police incidents would be greatly decreased. But that doesn’t fit into the black victim paradigm.

Just some more to add to the mix of those riding the coattails of idiocy to be noticed. They probably did a trial run in their churches last Sunday.

Just about everyday in Charlotte, NC some black man kills another black man. They have “community meetings” in Charlotte to “discuss” the rising murder rate and all agree it’s because of Trump and White Supremacy.

**** these protesters and the whining, complaining horse they rode in on. **** ‘em all.
