RALEIGH, N.C. The driver who was stopped and unable to get out of her car during a protest Thursday evening on the way home from a grocery run said she is certain those who threatened her do not represent the Black Lives Matter movement.
These were violent, young, mean kids, Deb Newton said of her ordeal, which played out on Blount Street. I was terrified about them being on top of my car like that and as aggressive as they were.
Newton said she got out of her car to get protesters to move, and that police officers who watched the exchange offered little help.
The criminal justice system is here, and officers are here to make sure that people do not take the law into their own hands," Newton said. "I was forced coming from the grocery store to defend myself. It was insane.
...
These people were not peaceful," Newton said. "In my experience, they were physically violent. And I dont know what they were about. They were not the Black Lives Matter people, because I support them.
"I am one of the lawyers who took a knee at the courthouse in solidarity after the killing of George Floyd ... but let me tell you something: When you start acting violent, there is no excuse, and I dont agree with law enforcement officers not protecting citizens when that happens. There is a line and that crosses the line.

Because she supported BLM, those protestors couldnt possibly be from them. Of course not, that would mean she was wrong.

Police chief says lock your vehicle doors and call 9-1-1.
2) Roll and insert foam ear plugs, because firing a .45 ACP from inside the car through the window is going to cause permanent ear damage.

Do you notice anything odd about them? They're all fags? Nobody's happy? They have that blank stare that shows they're stupid? What?

Just like the Wild West Stagecoach days of the 50's westerns.

Burning, looting, and mostly-white mobs.
If I was an average middle-class black person, I would be embarrassed beyond belief by all this crap, particularly the pandering to me like I’m a stupid child unable to care for myself.

Anyone who expects protection from the police is in a fools paradise. Which is why I can't seem to find CCI small rifle primers. Hoarders are stocking up. Again.

Let's see ... In Karen's mind, nothing she supports can ever be bad and, most of all, Karen can never be wrong.
There are a bazillion Karens like this, and they are just as much a danger to the Republic as BLM and Antifa.

Do you notice anything odd about them?
They are all male ?
They are all related ?
They are all wearing clothes ?
None are wearing shoes ?
They all identify as black ?

That guy’s amazing! Thanks for the link. EVERYONE should see that.

Have any Black Lives Matter proponents been asked to disavow people like the ones who jumped on her car? If I recall correctly anytime a Republican anywhere, even in state government, does something ridiculous every Republican gets asked ....... do you disavow....

Do you notice anything odd about them? They've all been release on their own recognizance (no bail)?
