“Police did not release a description of the suspect”

They all look alike?

[aquila48]

It’s just a cultural tradition.

Those damn white supremacists are always causing trouble.

The History of Juneteenth
Juneteenth is now a National Holiday and is the oldest known celebration commemorating the emancipation of slavery in the state of Texas. Historically, the celebration falls on June 19th and commemorates the day in 1865 that Texans were told by Union troops that the Civil War had ended and that all slaves were now freed. Though the Emancipation Proclamation became official on January 1, 1863, there was little impact on the lives of Texans until 1865.

Ain’t this the traditional way of celebrating Juneteenth?
It ain’t Juneteenth unless blood is spilled!

The shooting began when two groups began fighting with each other near the vendor area

We really need to start regulating and bannign vendor areas.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

What’s a celebration of blackness without a little shooting?

[UnwashedPeasant]

It is a Juneteenth tradition.

So Juneteenth is celebrated on June 15; okay. And it sounds like Juneteenth is not an actual date, but more of a frame of mind. Or a cultural thang.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Umpteemf celebrants got carried away and started acting like Confederates.

Juneteenth is the celebration of thug culture. If no one got shot it would have to be moved to a worse neighborhood next year.

In the 1800’s the negroes were ignorant that Lincoln signed an amendment to m, even whites are so stupid, that they solemnly commemorate this date for 2 weeks? an entire month?

This is too much like Pride month for me, a made up event to give stupid people a long time to be “proud” of being sodomites.

In the world I grew up in, we had one Independence day, and people shut their traps, about their perverse sexuality. They celebrate no longer being ashamed, when that was their tether to repentance and eternal life.

Without shame, humans are irredeemable.

Without a set date to celebrate National Unity and Indepence, we are not a nation.

[coalminersson]

slavery was abolished on Dec 6 1865 when the 13th amendment was ratified not on Juneteeth whatever date that is..

RE: Police did not release a description of the suspect.

Probably looks so much like Rev. Franklin Graham it would cause confusion./S
