The “celebration” was unpermitted! And it’s Virginia’s fault, of course.

Turns out this was not a mere celebration but a pop-up go-go concert.
Apparently all they do at j-school is learn far-left talking points and not, you know, actual writing.
Yeah and she killed Nick River’s manager.
But she could also fly an Su-27.
She was hot. Famke got a bunch of plastic surgery and you can’t even tell it’s her anymore...
Juneteenth...more crap from the left. Sucked it was on Father’s Day. My daughter calls and say’s Happy Juneteenth and just waited for my response. We had a good laugh.
Negro de Mayo.
Hahaha. Good one.
That is either classic understatement or outright ignorance. Hope she is ousted tomorrow, primary day.
Yeah....
St Floyd’s Day
““offwtop.comicer” == “officer” with “wtop.com” inserted. “officer” was the intended headline word. “wtop.com” is the website.
Wow! Certainly it is correct and I’d have never guessed it.
“injured at ‘unpermitted’ Juneteenth celebration”
You have to have a permit to celebrate a federal holiday?
We’ll soon need a permit to celebrate Christmas.
It celebrates the end of slavery
Juneteenth — also known as Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day and Emancipation Day — commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.
A blend of the words June and nineteenth, it marks June 19, 1865: the day that Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, proclaiming that the enslaved African Americans there were free.
“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free,” the order read. “This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.”
Freedom for the enslaved people of Galveston, Texas, came two-and-a-half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which couldn’t be enforced in areas under Confederate control. It also came about two months after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union Army at Appomattox Court House, Virginia — an event generally considered to be the end of the Civil War.
What began as an informal celebration of freedom by locals in Galveston eventually grew into a wider commemoration of the end of slavery as African Americans in Texas moved to other parts of the country. Today, many African Americans mark Juneteenth with parties, parades and gatherings with family and friends.
Texas became the first state to make Juneteenth a state holiday in 1980. In addition to it being a federal holiday, all 50 states and Washington, DC, recognize Juneteenth in some form.

So a party to celebrate freedom from democrat masters must be approved by ...democrat masters?
I knew there would be violence at juneteenff “celebrations.”
