CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Protests turned violent for a second night in Charlotte after Tuesday’s fatal police shooting of a black man. Late Wednesday, Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for the city and deployed the National Guard and State Highway Patrol troopers to assist local police.
One person was shot at the protest and was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, Medic said. The city initially reported that he died, but later retracted that, saying he was on life-support.
Medic said on Twitter that it was treating the patient for a gunshot wound en route to Carolinas Medical Center at about 8:45 p.m.
The person was shot in the area of North College and East Trade streets. ...
Thanks largely to 'affirmative action,' the U.S. now has a pretty large Black middle class, everything from postal workers to professors (our Black President would be upper class), and yet we rarely hear any condemnation of mob violence from these people, particularly any organized counter-movement.
