Full Title: Report: Charlotte Police canceling all vacations in fear of major violence during GOP convention next August
Respected journalist Paul Sperry took to Twitter with a report that I see nowhere else, about the sort of violence that police in Charlotte, NC expect when the GOP holds its convention there exactly one year from now (CMPD stands for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department that serves the entire county of which Charlotte is the country seat):...
I am so old – far older than most of those planning to disrupt the convention – that I remember vividly the riots that took place at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The antiwar fanatics, including Yippies who later were dubbed the “Chicago 7” when put on trial, did not want Vice President Hubert Humphrey to receive the nomination and continue the Vietnam War policies of his boss, President Lyndon Baines Johnson.
They conducted riots outside the convention and on the streets of downtown Chicago -- much of it televised by the TV networks – attempting to disrupt the convention. The Naitonal Guard was called up, and were taunted by demonstrators, resulting on many confrontations like this...

We are actually concerned about this. Knowing how the dems behave, our little town may be targeted. Hoping that tourists had already booked the hotels close by. We have discussed going away that week.
> The crime has worsened since he moved there...
Gee, they’ll probably be glad to see him leave. /grin
what an awful time and place for a convention ... charlotte is hell on earth in august: it’s the main reason i moved to colorado
That’s what the cops did in the last Charlotte riot.
Build a wall.
Did Democrats Put Up a Four-Mile Fence Around the DNC in 2016? Yes!

The Secret Service agent knew I was referring to the protesters. Some of which were planning to set off incendiary devices meant to maim or kill during the mayhem of destroying property. These people who wanted to “exercise such political expression” were known as the RNC8, and had the support of a lot of DFL politicos, including Minnecraponus mayor RT Rybak. Widespread support for the RNC8 resulted in the end of a lot of friendships and business relationships, to the point of refusing to do business with Minnesota once I left that state.
oh hell no!
It doesn’t matter where in charlotte you are it’s a Land-O-GangThug Zone.
I’m going to start Praying they stay there and don’t come up here to Iredell County/Mooresville and start trouble. If they do, well then I guess we will have to go Medieval on the scumbags.
i thought they were against election tampering... cut them off at the knees
HA!!! The demonratcommiescumbagthugs left here after the 2016 convention without paying their bills.
I’ll bet the plan is to triple prices on the Republican’s to make up for it.
The GOP decided it was a good idea to hold their convention in a city with a Democrat mayor, where the city council has a 9-2 Democrat majority, and where the state's governor is a Dem.
Pure brilliance.
They still have the Klan-era laws on the books.
North Carolina statutes, Article 4A. : Prohibited Secret Societies and Activities
And in Chapter 14
"§ 14-12.8. Wearing of masks, hoods, etc., on public property.And if the police are given orders to not enforce the laws, the DOJ has legal cause to go after the people issuing those orders. (That assumes that the DOJ is cleaned up yet, which I doubt, though)No person or persons shall in this State, while wearing any mask, hood or device whereby the person, face or voice is disguised so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter, or appear upon or within the public property of any municipality or county of the State, or of the State of North Carolina. (1953, c. 1193, s. 7.)
Where I live down in Pineville/Ballantyne its pretty orderly and there isn’t that much crime. There are areas that are bad but its not so much down here.
Bump! Thanks for posting. I plan on being there.
OK, I will believe that because I’m hearing it from You here on FR. I still won’t be going South of the Iredell/Meck line unarmed. Just too much going on for Me and CMPD is a cleanup call.
