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.”

This is a case of the feds politicizing a state holiday that no one ever had any problem with in Texas where it meant something.

Oh, and if you think things went badly, wait till next year. They only had one day to prepare for it this year.

Paraphrasing Marcus Aurtelius as quoted by Hannibal Lecter to Clarisse Starling: “Of each thing ask: What is it in itself; what is its nature”?

Dogs bark, jackasses bray, snakes bite, Democrats lie, and Urban Ferals gotta feral...Because it is in their nature to do so...Not hard to understand...

How did this bullsh!t day ever become a national holiday?

Hardly anybody ever heard of it and hardly anybody ever cared about it. The entire celebration is a nothingburger. At the most it might be celebrated in a small corner of Texas but not our entire country.

Unfortunate. Perhaps it should have been anticipated when an event celebrating black emancipation attracts large groups of blacks gathering. Inevitably young males who are not properly socialized will get into disagreements which may end in violence. Short tempers with no concept of self discipline rules the day.

Ben Shapiro

Neocon of neocon nevertrumper

No fooling....so I hear

Within a few miles of me ....imagine Jersey boy

He has to drive by Carnton House, Chip the CSA memorial at the square, and all the other civil war CSA stuff

You have to wonder why he chose to flee California for here....surrounded by stuff he like you jamac...derides daily

According to uhaul....we are the largest repository of Kali refugees...I know plenty...they seem honestly genuine and I tell them please don’t apologize and welcome here

But Shapiro ...nope

The nevertrumper screed he can’t resist ...his tepid support when he found himself boxed in notwithstanding .

Shapiro should have gone to Kansas...he could have hanged with your old homey non sequitur

Well he’s here now....I’ll be polite lol

k.y.w: Yup! The problems that befall the black community have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with culture... Why has the single motherhood rate gone from 20% to 70%...?

Exactly. A more accurate name for the new holiday might be Juneteenth National Black Fathers' Independence From Raising Their Own Children Day...

Can anyone direct me please to the Declaration of Independence of Negro slaves, on June 19th and does anyone know who signed this document and what became of those who signed. ? Frederick Douglass said that ultimately it was the negro slaves who would need to raise up against their slave holders..not not wait for some other culture to come and set them free.

HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
