  1. When will this red voting knuggle dragging Trump county going to change the laws the way San Fransico and Seattle Washington did and make these petty crimes not a crime unless it is over $1000.00 or $1500.00? This was probably some of our NEW COMERS AKA ILLEGAL IMIGRANT just trying to make ends meet after relocating to North Carolina or they could have been MOSTLY PEACEFUL/PARTLY VIOLENT PROTESTERS? Lets get our laws updated like California and this wouldn’t had even been a crime! Look at the numbers, BIDENNOMICS has lowered the crime in the USA and given us the greatest economy with more money left in your pockets! Lets save our democracy by locking up these January 6 Trump republicans and remember – VOTE BLUE UNTIL WE ARE THROUGH!!!

    • How do you know that ” NEW COMERS AKA ILLEGAL IMIGRANT” are the ones that just did this? What makes you assume this? I don’t think you realize how stupid this comment makes you look!! I can easily describe you base of your comment. Do you want me to say what I think base of it? I think you are possibly someone with no job, someone who is living of the government & is getting full benefits for anything you can!!!!! Have you gone to pay your taxes already? Or you don’t do that either?

  2. Obviously a troll that has a unique tongue in cheek approach. it this person fully supports this then he is a foolish person.
