“Watch Trump numbers bloom in NC. Probably spread to VA as well.”
The media inadvertently helped Trump
;)
Couldn’t our Black president show some leadership and urge calm and call on Blacks to denounce violence? Wait our President is an Alinsky trained street organizer who bases his leadership on using racial divides to achieve goals...never mind.
What gets me is the wild speculation about Trump fomenting Islamic terrorism, and yet there is no media recognition of the cause of what we are seeing in our inner cities.
The irony of the attempt to pummel Trump about calling the bombing a bombing, and then they do this.
Just one tiny step away from the DNC’s dream of martial law and postponed elections - keeping Insane in office a while longer to finish the job.
agree 100%. When the hell will Western civilization say “ enough is enough “ and open fire.
I wonder if they search Guardsmen before deployment, to make sure they are not carrying a concealed personal gun? Any NG's here with riot experience?
A few good German Shepherds can effectively change the inbred behavior of most African criminals. It works well but won’t be used because the corrupt press will call it racist. Perhaps the Africans are figuring out the old media is their enemy too.
In all fairness, show of hands, who HASN'T thought about this one?
Has anyone seen this on the news yet? And what are the gun carry laws in NC? White guy gets attacked... This is bad.

Obama and Clinton have invited a race war as a desperate attempt to motivate Obama’s “sons” to go to the polls. They don’t care if police are killed, innocent people are killed, or of the thugs burn the black neighbourhoods they claim to represent. Obama and Clinton are treasonous and cynical beyond words.

Sounds like something muslims would do.
Yeah, but some of us have found that the rifle barrel, properly employed, will distract almost anyone!
A public records search shows that Scott was convicted in April 2004 of a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge in Mecklenburg County. Other charges stemming from that date were dismissed: felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and misdemeanors assault on a child under 12, assault on a female and communicating threats.
In April 2015 in Gaston County Court, Scott was found guilty of driving while intoxicated.
In 1992, Scott was charged in Charleston County, S.C., with several different crimes on different dates, including carrying a concealed weapon (not a gun), simple assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
Scott also was charged with aggravated assault in 1992 and assault with intent to kill in 1995. Both charges were reduced, but the disposition of the cases is unclear.
According to Bexar County, Texas, records, Scott was sentenced in March 2005 to 15 months in a state jail for evading arrest. In July of that year, records show, he was sentenced to seven years in prison on a conviction of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman said Scott completed his sentence and was released from prison in 2011.
Assault with a deadly weapon. Carrying a concealed weapon. Aggravated assault with intent to kill. Seven years in prison for another aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
You found a lot more than I did, I searched for a criminal record last night for a half hour or more, not a word anywhere. Nothing in any of the news articles, couldn’t find a thing. But i Don’t have access to any of the pay sites to search for background checks and so forth, nothing turned up in searches trying different search terms.
