Standing his ground against a statue of Robert E. “The Stone Guest” Lee???
So often when I think it’s some conservative loon it turns out to be somebody on the “other side,” so I’m going to withhold any guesses. I just hope nobody is hurt.
Yeah, me too, but the snark just comes out.
And my wife was worried about our daughter doing a study abroad in Spain!
Witnesses told the newspaper that a man came from the kitchen with a loaded revolver in his left hand and said “There’s a new boss in town.”
He was described as a black man in his 50s who looked like “an ordinary grandpa, but he had a crazy look. It was very crazy.”
Sorry, link was to page I visited, but directs to Kansas city shooting – sorry
If he makes it out of this situation alive I’ll be surprised.
I wonder if Trump is tweeting that it’s all Antifa’s fault.
From what I can tell it’s all happening in Virginia’s on King, a restaurant. If the guy came from the kitchen saying “there’s a new boss in town” I wonder if the manager has come to grief. Hope not.
I’m sure he has a permit.
My prediction: White - standoff followed by arrest, black - killed without standoff
Well, the incident started at Virginia’s Restaurant, so it’s a stretch…
Such pessimism. There has to be a way the cops can kill a black man in the course of apprehending a white perp. Hell, they can just pick one out of the crowd watching from behind the barricades. They won’t be convicted, even if charged.
This kind of thing wouldn’t happen in South Carolina if they only had more gun deregulation.

Peter Siegert, 73, and his son Peter Siegert IV, 45, both of Maryland, were eating at Virginia’s when two waitresses and three kitchen staff members marched through the restaurant and out the front door without saying anything.
Then an older black man wearing an apron, dressed like a kitchen staff member and holding a small caliber revolver walks to the front door and locks it and says “I am the new king of Charleston.”
He told everyone in the restaurant to get down and move to the back of the building. There wer about 30 people dining at the time.
Someone got fired?

I suppose the best outcome here is Guy Fieri is on site shooting a show of some sort and throws himself in front of the gunman.Restaurant work is very stressful.
Getting fired is very stressful.
Or a customer complained about the Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and Spam.
I’m sure a Republican elected official is able to muster up some hopes and prayers – I’m sure that will solve the problem.
How long until Trump tweets something monumentally stupid about this?
