Can’t risk the chance LEO’s might discharge a weapon at a protected class.

Bad optics.

Terrible for re-election campaigns.

Hamlet was badly damaged by rioting way back when. I recall that because it’s on the old shortcut to the beach from this part of NC, we drove through it at least once a summer for the duration of my childhood. I still recall seeing smoldering debris lying by the side of the street, even houses with contents strewn about the front lawn. And, while I hate to pin this on a certain set of people, the name Locklear means Lumbee, in NC at least it does.

They can now change the name of that berg to “Gangland” now that the gangs have won. Who would even want to live in such a place? Had I been mayor of that “Hamlet”, I would have invited every motorcycle group from miles around to come and help us “celebrate” the 4th instead of shutting it down. One stipulation would be that they would MAINTAIN “peace” at all costs. There would be a reward for bringing in (what was left) of anyone causing civil unrest.

I’d probably never get elected though.

>>I think this is actually being cancelled because lefties do not want a 4th celebration.

Following the lead of their taqiyya Poodle In Chief are they?

The former US president said some countries had adopted “an aggressive kind of nationalism” and “increased resentment of minority groups”, in a speech in Indonesia on Saturday that could be seen as a commentary on the US as well as Indonesia.

It’s adorable the town thinks that cancelling Independence Day will actually stop the retaliation. Idiots.

Deputize anyone that can legally own a firearm for police duties.

Just down the road a piece from “THE ROCK” . . the greatest one-mile racetrack formally on the NASCAR circuit. .which is one of the many reasons NASCAR today has so many “formally” fans (count the empty seats at last Sat. Coke Zero 400?)

Hamlet is the place where there was a chicken fryer explosion that killed a couple of dozen people in a processing plant back in the early 90’s.

4th of July celebrations would drive them crazy with Trump in charge.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— Preamble to the Declaration of Independence

North Carolina signed onto this declaration - you are responsible for providing this for the citizens - Do IT!!!!

A 93-year-old veteran of World War II led prayers before everyone ate hot dogs while hanging around being very hot. The BI-LO donated watermelons. There was a car show of about 20 cars, plus a Great Dane as big as a car.

Nice time all around. I don’t know if anyone from Hamlet was there ...
