Juneteenth celebrations in Oakland, California; Aurora, Colorado; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Clover, South Carolina; and Flint, Michigan, were marred by shootings and death.

ABC News reports that Oakland’s Juneteenth celebration at Lake Merritt was interrupted by gunfire at 6:22 p.m. When the shots ended, seven shooting victims were discovered, included a 22-year-old man who was killed in the incident. The Aurora Juneteenth celebration was brought to a violent end when multiple shooters unleashed 114 rounds on attendees, wounding four and killing one.

KKTV notes the “Public Safety Dispatch Center received at least 50 calls for service” regarding the Aurora attack.

Two people were killed in a shooting that erupted after a concert in Baton Rouge.

ABC News pointed out that the shooting occurred in a parking lot, following a fight, and multiple guns were involved.

WSOC-TV reports two separate shootings at Juneteenth Celebration in Clover, South Carolina. One of the shootings resulting in three people being wounded, including a 17-year-old boy. The other shooting involved a car pulling up beside a vehicle in which a family was traveling and opening fire.

Also on Juneteenth, a 19-year-old woman was shot and killed after allegedly shooting at a police officer in Flint, Michigan.

Breitbart News reported that the woman was taken to the hospital after the incident, but succumbed to her wounds.

A City of Flint Police Department press release says, “Preliminary investigation indicates the officer, who was working a traffic point for the Juneteenth Celebration, was fired upon by the lone occupant of a vehicle who drove up to him at the traffic point. Upon taking fire, the officer returned fire, striking the suspect.”

I’m laughing! As soon as they announced that they were going to make it a national holiday, I remembered that every year there were shootings, fights, and other assorted savage violence during and around the celebrations. My memory cannot be cancelled.

I did a google search:
juneteenth violence
and found out that google didn’t waste any time in scrubbing the results so they didn’t show the truth. google has a whole division dedicated to the “correcting” of history, much as what we read in 1984.

I also did a DuckDuckGo search, and found some of the results that google had deliberately and intentionally hidden.

So now we have a national holiday dedicated to the violent outbursts of a segment of the population that can’t restrict its reptilian brain from breaking out in a violent reaction to any slight, insult or dissing.

To assist in the democrats’ efforts to destroy this country, they are pushing to defund the police, so the June 19 partygoers will not have to fear arrest as they shoot up old ladies and babies in strollers.

“Juneteenth Celebrations Around the Nation Marred by Shootings, Death”

I fear more of this when the full text of the white General's June 19 order is published. His full insinuations are not going to please everyone that is woke; many will wonder if imposing a holiday to honor his dog whistle is appropriate.

“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. 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.

“The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.”

The George Floyd statue looks like a White guy to me. Couldn’t they have at least gotten his skin color correct?

Why is 13% of the population responsible for 50% of the murder?

When you consider the murders are committed by black males 12 to 30 years old, it is more accurate to say approximately 3% of our population is responsible for 50% of the murder.

I’ve noticed the scrubbing on several web pages that I have bookmarked in the past. Got a good web page for months, then suddenlY get “ERROR 404 PAGE NOT FOUND”.

Tear that statue down. It’s apparently ok to do that sort of thing nowadays. Just claim you find it offensive.

why would ANYONE with any sense whatsoever be surprised that violence occurs where there are large numbers of blacks, it happens every day. Every MLK Day is riddled with shootings, stabbings, beatings, etc.

If it was such a big deal why didn’t they celebrate it over the last 100 years?

It has been. It has been a State Holiday in Texas for 40 years.
