Police at the scene of a shooting that left at least five injured during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration in Miami. Three people were transported by emergency personnel to a hospital, and others brought themselves in for treatment after a shooting during a Miami Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, reports CBS Miami.

A law enforcement source told the station that at least five people were shot during the incident, which occurred at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park. The source said two of the wounded were in critical condition.

The station reports that one person is in custody, and a gun believed to be used in the shooting has been recovered. Celebrants had gathered at the park following the city’s annual parade to honor the civil rights icon. Police have not said if a motive in the incident is known.

“Caribbean Island Blacks and Pan-African Blacks do NOT mix well. Caribbeans are generally very peaceful and loving spirits, not angry or hostile or racist.”

It’s like a Jimmy Buffet concert I attended years ago at the Concord Pavilion. I could not understand why there were so many LEOs. My host told me that the “Parrotheads” and the “$hit Kickers” both liked Buffet’s music, but hated each other.

Btw, you’re another in a long line of people who run for the tall grass really fast when confronted with their own bull sh*t comments.

See ya around Navin.

If you ever find yourself on a MLK Street, run for your life.

Muzzies celebrate ramadmamdingdong and come out killing. America’s first victim group gets its own victimhood day and they shoot each other.

“I know Nigerians who moved here and they cannot stand American blacks.”

One of our local industries has brought Africans of some sort over to do some training. They are extremely friendly pleasant people.

It would be the same as Christians or Jews shooting their own group during Christ’s birthday.

I suspect there are tribal differences within the mix. Like Catholics vs. Protestants.

Caribbean Island Blacks and Pan-African Blacks do NOT usually mix well. Caribbeans are generally very peaceful and loving spirits, not angry or hostile or racist towards anyone.

“The Pan-African & Caribbean Family Festival was happening at the park Monday to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.”

Why is this shooting event reported as news?

What is unique, special, or uncommon about neer do wells and obammy supporters engaging in this ordinary activity?

OK we are judging them on content of character—or lack thereof.

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls won’t be shooting at each other...

Black violence during MLK celebration. Like hot dogs at a baseball game. It’s not unexpected.

If it had been a Stop the Violence rally the body count would probably been a little higher.

Thanksgiving and now Martin Luther King Day, what holiday will be next?

Of course, this one takes the cake. It’s time for blacks to take responsibility and blame themselves individually for their problems. There’s ample opportunity for financial independence and raising a family if they just wake up and look around.

There’s no one holding them down despite what the race-baiting black millionaires are telling them.
