Juneteenth celebrations in Oakland, California; Aurora, Colorado; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Clover, South Carolina; and Flint, Michigan, were marred by shootings and death.

ABC News reports that Oakland’s Juneteenth celebration at Lake Merritt was interrupted by gunfire at 6:22 p.m. When the shots ended, seven shooting victims were discovered, included a 22-year-old man who was killed in the incident. The Aurora Juneteenth celebration was brought to a violent end when multiple shooters unleashed 114 rounds on attendees, wounding four and killing one.

KKTV notes the “Public Safety Dispatch Center received at least 50 calls for service” regarding the Aurora attack.

Two people were killed in a shooting that erupted after a concert in Baton Rouge.

ABC News pointed out that the shooting occurred in a parking lot, following a fight, and multiple guns were involved.

WSOC-TV reports two separate shootings at Juneteenth Celebration in Clover, South Carolina. One of the shootings resulting in three people being wounded, including a 17-year-old boy. The other shooting involved a car pulling up beside a vehicle in which a family was traveling and opening fire.

Also on Juneteenth, a 19-year-old woman was shot and killed after allegedly shooting at a police officer in Flint, Michigan.

Breitbart News reported that the woman was taken to the hospital after the incident, but succumbed to her wounds.

A City of Flint Police Department press release says, “Preliminary investigation indicates the officer, who was working a traffic point for the Juneteenth Celebration, was fired upon by the lone occupant of a vehicle who drove up to him at the traffic point. Upon taking fire, the officer returned fire, striking the suspect.”

Anything involving large groups of urban blacks getting together and partying, is an event that white people should avoid.

Marred?

I thought the violence is a designed-in feature. Headline should really be:

Why all of a sudden Juneteenth is now a federal holiday. If it was such a big deal why didn’t they celebrate it over the last 100 years? Cause it’s all political and one more paid holiday Blacks have a cultural problem and NO ONE wants to admit it!!

They needed a warm weather holiday to celebrate in a manner which suits their impulses. Now they have one.

Yet another statue dedicated to George Floyd, in Brooklyn on June 19, 2021 during their Juneteenth Weekend.

These people will never understand their foolishness, but they sure enjoy pulling it off in full view of the audience! I'll never believe they don't know they're pulling the wool over everybodys eyes.

OTOH in cities where Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated (Boston,New York and maybe others) you'll have a few arrests for “drunk in public” and that's it. Don't know about Cinco De Mayo or other “ethnic” holidays.

“Public Safety Dispatch Center received at least 50 calls for service” regarding the Aurora attack. <<<

How many unarmed mental healthcare workers were “dispatched” to provide their services??.......Did the cops have to be called and accused of interfering with normal and mostly peaceful Juneteenth Celebrations??.....any cops that showed up should be demoted and made to attend "Understanding Black Culture" classes...... /s

Welcome to the United States of Zimabwe, where demographic warfare and white guilt have given birth to a new era of rcism and violence.

Whats hjappening is that the ATF and the FEDs are making guns readily available in Chicago, so these New US Zimbabweans can simply solve the scial problem by shooting each other so none are left. Its the Alinsky way.

Lets use the 2nd amendment AGAINST the people.

And then we take their toys away.”

Welcome to the new Demographic warfare of the United States of Zimbabwe.

The lifestyle of the black culture.

Yup! The problems that befall the black community have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with culture. Why aren't black kids graduating high school? Why are they shooting each other in significantly higher rates than any other race is shooting each other? Why is 13% of the population responsible for 50% of the murder? Why are black kids going to prison and not for innocent reasons? Why has the single motherhood rate gone from 20% to 70% in the same time that the civil rights movement made such tremendous gains? Is America more racist now than it was in the 1960's and if it is, explain to me why?

It’s all about the perception of sticking a finger in someone’s eye.
As long as it gets a rise out of folks, then they think that they have “won”.
They know no one in “their community” actually gives a damn about that guy, but it gives them a pyrrhic victory.
And besides, it will give the pigeons a new place to crap.

Frankly they don’t care much for one another either. I’ve often thought that without living for and feeding their race issues what would they become?
