Clinton to visit Charlotte Sunday
The Hill ^ | 9/23/2016 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 09/23/2016 2:53:49 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Hillary Clinton is taking a break from debate prep to visit the site of a fatal police shooting.

Clinton on Sunday will visit Charlotte, N.C., where police killed a black man earlier this week, NBC News reported.

Protests erupted on the streets of the city in the wake of his death.

The trip is Clinton's only scheduled campaign travel before the first 2016 presidential debate Monday night at Hofstra University in New York.

On Tuesday, officer Brentley Vinson fatally shot Keith Lamont Scott, 43, during a confrontation at an apartment complex as the police were searching for another man.

Cellphone video taken by Scott’s wife emerged earlier Friday, showing police shouting at Scott to drop a weapon as the woman pleads with them not to shoot and saying that he is unarmed and has a traumatic brain injury.

Clinton earlier Friday called for police video of Scott’s death to be made public.

Charlotte’s police chief said Thursday his department would not publicly release the video.

“We release it when we believe it’s a compelling reason, but I’m not going to jeopardize the investigation,” Kerr Putney said in a news conference.

Multiple incidents like Scott’s shooting this year have stirred national debate over the relationship between law enforcement and minority communities.

The contrast in this election couldn't be clearer.

Donald Trump is a godsend. If Bush or anyone else would have been the GOP nominee, Clinton and the media would have railed against him for not going to Charlotte as well. Then they would have went and gotten drowned out by the rioters, and then the media would have played clips of the heckling, as well as "analysis" from the liberal elites saying Bush didn't go far enough or something.

Trump is clearly on the side of law enforcement and the rule of law. Hillary is on the side of anarchy, destruction, and the failed status-quo.

Future Republican candidates will look back on 2016 and learn from Trump's campaign.

Or maybe she will say the magic words, the riots will cease, everyone black and white will join hands and sing "Kumbaya" and "We Shall Overcome," and the nation will lament the fact that it's too late for her to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2016.

More likely she is asking herself, "What would Saul Alinsky do?"

Brilliant, hope she gives a speech.

She has enough low energy to spread around that the riots will just fade away.

She couldn’t get her ass down to Baton Rouge, after their terrible flooding. But she can get her ass to the site of a police shooting, for which we still don’t know all the facts. All to make her hair assed political statement.

Would she be there if this happened in Idaho, instead of the battleground state of North Carolina???

Is she going to dodge bullets? or Is she going to use her black accent? or Is she going to collapse or cough herself to death? “I don’t feel {cough cough} no ways tired {cough cough} I come to {cough cough} far {cough cough cough} from where I {cough cough cough cough} started {cough cough} from. Nobody {drinks water} told me {cough cough} the road would be easy” {faints and falls on the floor}.

Maybe this will be the needed photo op to sprain her ankle in public so she can sit during the debate?

Someone needs to be on the lookout for a person chiseling a hole in the asphalt in the next day or so.

She’s doing this so that Monday night she can say “yesterday, I visited Charlotte, NC where an unarmed black man blah blah blah”.

This is perfect.

She'll be compelled to go full BLM.

Everyone around her, everyone she knows will encourage it. She'll be caught up in the moment and go full BLM.

Her internal polls must be atrocious. All her campaigning lately has ONLY been to pander to her base. Fundraisers at Hollyweird. At Temple Univ to try to win back Millenials. Screaming at labor leaders because she isn’t beating Trump by 50pts. At Orlando trying to rally Hispanics. 0zer0 and Moochel trying to rally black votes, and now Hitlery herself trying to rally the black vote. These actions do not show her base is secure, let alone show her trying to expand her base. She is in deep trouble.

A 1% cracker popping up above the parapet. Will she be out in the middle of the protesters at night without her SS? No, of course not. Anything short of that isn’t sincere.

Hellary is going to church Sunday in Charlotte. Church of the unholy lies and deceptions.

She wants to make up for not having gone to Louisiana and Mexico. This visit, she hopes, will make her look presidential.

Big deal. She can study the debate questions and staff prepared answers on the plane and only has to take 10 minutes off to get out and have her picture taken with a bunch of local BLM employees, then back to the plane and her "debate prep".
