RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - Three people were arrested as Tuesday’s ReOpen NC protest came to an end.

The arrests happened outside of the North Carolina Executive Mansion in Raleigh.

This was the third Tuesday people have gathered to protest the stay-at-home order in North Carolina.

These have been heated protests with lots of emotions. Some of those in attendance were business owners impacted by the stay-at-home order and others who have come to the protests were health professionals on the front lines of the pandemic who wanted to make it known that protesters need to stay home.

The article does not mention what charges justified the arrests. “Journalism.”

What’s new ...

We spend half our time trying to figure out what actually happened in any “news” situation.

Wow. Ready for this: “Four protesters, including ReOpenNC leader Ashley Smith, were arrested when they stepped onto the sidewalk outside the governor’s mansion on Blount Street, violating police instructions.”

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat”

It sounds like the charge was “violating police instructions,” then, since the sidewalk is a public space.

“...others who have come to the protests were health professionals on the front lines of the pandemic who wanted to make it known that protesters need to stay home.”

Why would these “front line health professionals” violate their own beliefs and attend the very same protests.

We know the answer. They are political activists first and foremost.

Maybe they’ve been furloughed and had nothing else to do but uphold the party line.

These protests are going on against democrat governors all across the country. Yet, no front page pictures of Americans being led away in cuffs.

Can you imagine the enemedia having a fit if it were liberals or their friends Antifa getting arrested?

The left’s hypocrisy is stunning were it not simply numbing at this point.

“Could be health professionals”.

Let’s go get in the faces of people who want to go to work...
No. They are not health professionals.
