Fayetteville Market House Burned

Protests in Fayetteville turn violent.

Looks like it was peaceful, till is wasn't.

Fayetteville protestors take urban unrest to a whole new level.

Some drive out to the Mall to loot JC Penny. JC Penny???????

Although the complete Sears building is gone there is still Belk and Macy's. Plus all the little glass front stores outside along the "L" formed by Macy's and Belk.

JC Penny???????

Reading the time line in the FayOb it appears the Mayor must have told the police to let the mob have the Market House area.

Here in Los Angeles:

News chopper showing a group of thugs trashing and looting a small business.

At the same time:

A reporter on the ground is interviewing a BLM member complaining the police are very threatening, treating them like criminals.

Luckily, face masks are required in LA at all times, even when looting. Its about saving lives.
