Why Charlotte Exploded and Tulsa Prayed
KFOR ^ | SEPTEMBER 22, 2016

Posted on 09/22/2016 1:22:03 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Two black men were shot and killed by police officers in two different American cities this week.

The deaths of Terence Crutcher and Keith Lamont Scott cut deep into the hearts of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Charlotte, North Carolina.

But scenes from the two communities on the night of September 21 show they expressed the pain in two drastically different ways.

North Carolina is going for Trump this time, especially with Charlotte smoldering from all the Charlatans.

Bosh. Nobody gave a hoot about these career criminals until they were conveniently shot by police. If they'd inconveniently been shot by other black career criminals, they'd be down the memory hole, like the dozens who are shot in Chicago each weekend.

Because Soros and Obama and ValJar sent their troops down there well armed with $$$ and it is the south, after all...he hates them.

Cotton's a great fabric and all, but dear God how I wish it had been botanically incompatible with any American soils.

So...that is the nature of these type events. History is full of events like this. That is the point of propaganda. Crispus Attucks and crew weren't saints back in the day as well.

John Adams called them "a motley rabble of saucy boys, negros and molattoes, Irish teagues and outlandish Jack Tarrs."

The main reason there was not rioting in OK stems from a much more religious and conservative community that obeys rule of law. In Charlotte there is a Dem mayor running the show in a liberal town.

Also, Charlotte is in the east and has a certain level of coolness due to holding the Dem convention and pioneering the men-in-the-ladies’-room theme. Big time Commie organizers are coming here to run this show.

Tulsa, on the other hand ... when we moved there in 1999, my cousin from the better-than-you side of the family said, “Huh? Is that in the United States?”

I am old enough to remember the 1968 riots along with the Nixon landslide that followed. Other than the rioters, most people don't particularly like riots.

Adams was a lawyer, in this case a defense attorney. They always tell the truth, don’t they?

Bats*** crazy Glenn Beck contrasted the two cities by bringing up the Tulsa race riot of 1921 & flogging it for most of an hour. What a maroon and does he still hate Donald Trump!

Didn’t even credit the Tulsa of today for responding peacefully. Beck has gone totally nutso.

If Cruz endorses Trump, Beck might go full Marshall Applewhite.

I think these things are just an excuse for LOOTING
(aka STEALING) and burning down their neighborhoods.

The craziest thing is that NC was a justified shooting with a black cop shooting an armed black perp, while the OK situation isn’t so cut & dry.

I’m sick of this whole narrative. Blacks appear to be UNDER represented in both police shootings and sentence lengths.

I will never judge an individual by the group. But after a 90% plus vote to re-elect Obama - I’m fed up with the group.

I hope we can stop all this before we go off a cliff.
