Trump Labels Violent 'Riots' In Charlotte 'An Attack On The Poor' (VIDEO)

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Donald Trump addressed ongoing violent protests over the fatal police shooting of a black man in Charlotte, North Carolina, arguing that African American and poor residents would suffer most from the “riots.”

Speaking at the Shale Insight conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Trump argued that "law-abiding African American citizens" will suffer the most from the unrest. "We honor and recognize the right of all Americans to peacefully assemble, protest and demonstrate," he said. "But there is no right to engage in violent disruption or to threaten the public safety and peace of others."

Trump went on to condemn "rampant" crime in "these communities," proposing an increase in law enforcement and community engagement to stem "a national crisis."

"There is no compassion in tolerating lawless conduct. Crime and violence is an attack on the poor and will never be accepted in a Trump administration," Trump added, saying that the "riots" in Charlotte "must be brought to a very rapid end."

1. It takes a real poverty of spirit to talk like that.

Sad.

2. From NeighborhoodScout.com...

However, compared to other communities of similar population size, Charlotte has a crime rate that is noticeably lower than the average. This means that for comparably sized cities all across America, Charlotte is actually safer than most according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis of FBI crime data.

Also try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate_(2014)
I set my computer's display to show 40 cities on this list. Then I sorted by each category. Only in Aggravated Assault, Larceny-Theft and Arson does the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area even crack the Top 40 - and it's way down in each category.

Tell me something, folks: How come every time I hear Donald Trump speak I hear Groucho's inaugural address in Duck Soup?

No one's allowed to smoke
Or tell a dirty joke
And whistling is forbidden

(We're not allowed to tell a dirty joke. Hail, hail Freedonia!)

If chewing gum is chewed
The chewer is pursued
And in the hoosegow hidden

(If we choose to chew we'll be pursued!)

If any form of pleasure is exhibited
Report to me and it will be prohibited
I'll put my foot down, so shall it be
This is the land of the free

The last man nearly ruined this place
He didn't know what to do with it
If you think this country's bad off now,
Just wait 'til I get through with it

The country's taxes must be fixed
And I know what to do with it
If you think you're paying too much now
Just wait till I get through with it

*Whistle*

I will not stand for anything that's crooked or unfair
I'm strictly on the up-and-up, so everyone beware
If any man's caught taking graft, and I don't get my share
We stand him up against the wall and pop! Goes the weasel

(So everyone beware, you're stricken or unfair -- unless he gets his share)

If any man should come between a husband and his bride
We'll find out which one she prefers by letting her decide
If she prefers the other man, the husband steps outside
We stand him up against the wall and pop! Goes the weasel

(The husband steps outside, relinquishes his bride
They stand him up against the wall and take him for a ride.)

3. Hey herr fascist you really are an opportunists aren't you

you have a right to work state that supports laws that racists in nature.
you have a legislature that attacks human beings when it comes to voting
you have a legislature, that is poisoning the water
you have a legislature that attacks people who love another person of the same sex
you have legislature that outsourced jobs to mexico and around the world

And the best part is when you were sitting on your golden throne toilet in New York for years you didn't say one thing about these above items at all for years, in fact while you were scamming human beings of all sorts of color and economic back ground, you were taking money from the same jerks like the Popes of North Carolina, you know who they are don't you, take a look at Jane Mayers book called "Dark Money" and see what you and that particular family has been doing to the economics of the people when it comes to wages, health care and such, you and them are perfect fascist which in today's terminology is called right wing republicans


Here you go herr Dumpster ever rub elbows with this hypocrite all you have to do there dumpster is see the link of hypocrisy coming out of your right wing bigoted mouth and this man and North Carolina concentration and connections in government he has a hand in, did you get this kind of memo from your breibart handlers, and you said you went to the best schools, ha:
