'Situation becoming unsafe'; Reporters forced to flee Charlotte as rioters attack media
Bizpac Review ^ | September 22, 2016 | Frieda Powers

As violence escalated in Charlotte, N.C. Wednesday night, reporters became part of the story as protesters turned on the media.

CNN anchor Don Lemon stopped the broadcast feed as a CNN camera crew was confronted by rioters who attempted to block the camera yelling “F**king liars!”

“As happens in these particular situations, the crowd gets out of control and then they try to assault or at least intimidate our camera people and our news people,” Lemon said.

Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan got into a verbal confrontation with a woman he was interviewing when she accused him of wanting video to “make a f**king fabricated story” about what was going on.

Guess the street rats do read those stories after all. The truth has a way of surfacing from time to time.

It’s only acknowledged as “unsafe” when so-called journalists are threatened.

This rioting crap has been ALLOWED to take place.

The mayor of Charlotte - Jennifer Roberts - is a liberal moron. She is the one who pushed for men to go into women's bathrooms and showers. Her buddy in the effort is a registered sex offender who targets children. The local newspaper and tv station knew he was a pervert but refused to report it.

Of course the mayor allowed the destruction to happen. They could have arrested hundreds of people but they refused. Instead the mayor was consoling the family of the thug who was shot!!

The real damage to business is going to happen over the next few years. Charlotte is no longer a tourist destination. The Epicenter, where the white guy was beaten to a pulp by 20 thugs - nobody will be going there except the thugs.

“This is anarchy, and liberals wonder why Americans want to buy guns for personal protection.”....

Martial Law is on the horizon should the riots, ‘er.... “protest” continue. Odumbo’s plan is still working.

Recently odumbo wrote another “EO” that allows our military to shoot American citizens if need be, perhaps he forgot about the black population being included as “citizens”.

As watching pro football is no longer a go to activity.

I was thinking CR gas would be VERY effective. 10% fatality rate and a hell of a lot worse than CS. ...either that or a minigun with frangible ammo ;) Plus it can be hidden in a truck bed under a tarp pretty easy.

“I am getting fed up with ALL WHITES being categorized as racist.....gross generalizations abound when a white person is being targeted by the BLM thugs.”...

Don’t the blacks have any idea they are actually increasing the number of those who previously were NOT racist but are rapidly converting? Idiots!

When you go to the polls in November, remember this. These are the people who will be voting for Clintoon and the “democrats”. Remember in November.

More like stack the cordwood all day and act shocked when it gets burned at night.

I’d have much rather seen one of them stripped and beaten in a parking structure, frankly. Actually, I’d have enjoyed it.

“Surely, CNN can sacrifice a few on-scene crew members for The Cause?”......

Stop reporting or covering the riots and the interest in rioting (other than stealing) will decrease.

“The sheer incompetence of the Charlotte city administration and the “law enforcement” agencies is now evident.”

I’m not so sure about the incompetence.

Giving the rioters “space to destroy” comes to mind.

“Is the Guard there yet?”

You mean have they been turned away yet?

This is “space to destroy” time.

That would be great, wouldn’t it? Kenneth and Katie both getting pummeled out on the street by their bro-hams.

Years after the popular Mayor Harvey Gantt, I never knew that Charlotte had such lingering hostilities. Is this also the case in Raleigh, where they had Mayor Clarence Lightner?
