Charlotte Riots Report:   one rioter shot dead in the head by another rioter, One rioter shot in the ass by cops with a rubber bullet which was too damn funny and tear gas galore.

National guard moved in and slowed things down.

Uptown Charlotte (been there and a very nice area) looks like a war zone this morning with many businesses closed and workers staying home.
Funny thing is the Austin Cops have shot two dead this month and hardly a word about it.  Where are our riots so I can stay at home?
You want something done, you gotta start it yourself. But stop by and check out the coffee rack, first.
Plan to go check the coffee rack as soon as daylight hits.

Riot Update:

Last night the Charlotte Police Chief (seems to be a pretty good guy) said the one shot in the head was dead but this morning the Charlotte PIO says he was "only" critically injured.

I think it's in the hoodlum rioter  peaceful protester bylaws....protests must last for a minimum of 2 1/2 days, at least one major store must be looted, one major fictitious alternate reality story be developed.

There were actually several very nice offers on the Jam yesterday and they were even further enhanced by the extra 20% off!

They looted the NASCAR Hall of Fame Store, a CVS and at least one other store.

So much easier policing those that just pay the fine and move on.

The fine is $500 + court costs so many do not just pay-the-fine and move on.  Conviction rate is very low.

One little quirk that gets them is the officer who signs the ticket must also have observed an illegal activity prior to stopping the car so a cop on a bus radioing to a cop on a motorcycle will not hold water if they go to court.  Also, going to court will tie up at least two cops for a good while along with their in-car computer so most are quietly settled with the prosecutors office at a significant cut rate.

This is one crack down I can support.  Douchebags on their phones while behind the wheel are a menace.

WalMart was on the first night but they did loot a Flemings Steak Restaurant and broke windows in the Omni and Ritz Carlton Hotels.  Uptown is a very high-tone area with a lot of nice restaurants and bars. Yuppieville!  Sad reminder for me,  Warden and I lived in SC then and were celebrating our anniversary in Uptown Charlotte the night my father died.

Cops on a city bus coordinating motorcycles chasing people down on I-35 is a very dangerous menace too.

And that law has not reduced distracted driving one tiny bit either.  Fuk'n Lakeway has the same law and has not done doodly crap their either other than generate revenue for the Kangaroo Court.

Painting work was slow going yesterday, not so sure they will finish today as planned but hope they do so we can have our house back!

Doing a really nice job though.
