During the riots in Charlotte last night, that followed the shooting of an armed black man by a black cop, protesters stormed the local Walmart (purportedly to make the point that they will not stand for cop-killings anymore), but were met with an unlikely opposition. Walmart staff blocked the entrance to the store with pallets and defended the warehouse until police arrived.
It was quite a night iun Charlotte last night, as we detailed…

But it was the actions at Walmart that made us hope there is a chance for America…
Protesters headed to the Walmart on N. Tryon in the University area after shutting down Interstate-85 at WT Harris Blvd. early Wednesday morning following the shooting death of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott…

But Walmart staff had blocked the entrance by stacking wooden pallets…
Officers in riot gear blocked the entry to Walmart after it was broken into…
Employees could be seen sweeping up shattered glass at the front entrance.
So while protesters set fire to public property and attempt to steal to make the point that armed black men should not be shot by police, some people sought to protect their place of employment and responsibly protect it… is that hope? Perhaps.
However, not everyone was so responsible, as Paul Joseph Watson reports, at least 12 officers were injured, with one of them being hit in the face with a rock.
After the rioters began throwing bottles at police officers, SWAT teams were deployed and tear gas was used to clear the agitators.
Members of the media also had bottles thrown at them by the “protesters”. Vehicles were also smashed.
“We out like the Taliban!” one rioter was heard yelling on a live Facebook stream.
“This ain’t no one-day action!” another shouted. “This is the first time people standing up!”
“We ain’t playin’ no motherfuckin’ games, nigga!” asserted another individual.
We look forward to hearing president Obama's view on this rioting and looting… and it's not over…
