I used to go to Hamlet several times a year on business.
The taxpayers there must be delighted with the way their elected officials are performing.

The nice people of Hamlet are welcome to come to Lake Park. We’re having a parade of kids on bicycles, pets in wagons, etc., and the swim team will be selling hamburgers and hot dogs.

Indeed. They should use the Prince of Denmark's own philosophy to govern their actions and celebrate the 4th:
If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all...

Nothing celebrates FREEDOM quite like being told by your town leaders to hide in your houses on Independence day.

Honestly! When I read this I could only think of what our forebears would do in such times. My guess is that a whole lot of “deputies” would be lining the streets.
One day we are going to read about such goings on in a town and how the town “took matters into their own hands” (and in a big way), seeing that the “law” could not/would not protect them.

Some of my sons will be carrying the U.S. and North Carolina flags (borrowed from the Town Council chamber) at the head of the line.

That's a little close to home. I have friends just outside of Hamlet and go thru there a lot on my way to the hunt club over near Ellerbe. The area seems like it may have taken it in the face from NAFTA.
It's fairly annoying to hear that the actions of the ferals are now dictating what the city and citizens can do. Safety above all else? Hide in your house? How about open carry for the law-tolerant citizenry at these events? I know, I know. But what about our children?!? Can't say that I'm sure "cowering in place" till the problem metastasizes and Negan Locklear comes to said house for the children is the best plan of inaction, tho'.
But that's just me. d;^)

This has ZERO to do with gang threats and everything to do with lefties staging another “we hate Trump” display. They cannot help themselves. It’s what they do. Of course, they’d never just tell the truth cuz they’d be run out of town on a rail so they blame the gangs and “keeping our citizens safe”. Win win for them, right?
All politics is local folks. This is where it starts.
