| North Carolina Social Justice Activist: Boycott July 4, Crash Other People's Cookouts |
| 2018-07-04 |
| [DAILYWIRE] In Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, social justice activists are telling their followers to boycott the Fourth of July this year, not to buy hot dogs or fireworks, and even to crash other people’s cookouts. They say they refuse to celebrate until America addresses what they see as endemic racism; one referred to the current climate as “Trump terror.” Durham minister and activist Paul Scott, who has reiterated his call to boycott the Fourth for weeks, said, "I hope it's going to start a chain reaction.” On Instagram, he wrote, "People are asking, 'what can I do as an individual to make things better?' Well, one thing everybody can do is boycott July Fourth.” Scott continued, "We are experiencing a rise in racial hatred, we have children of immigrants being torn away from their parents. In this era of 'Trump terror,' I don't think many Americans have too much to celebrate this year." He added on Instagram, "Don't buy fireworks, don't buy franks. Don't buy none of that. That will send a message to this country that we will no longer tolerate injustice." |

| #12 a rack of skewers just waiting The thought occurs that skewers with handles function much like a poignard, just as a well-designed fireplace poker can be used somewhat like a gladius. This might explain the English fondness for the latter in these troubled times... |

| #10 To be forewarned is to be forearmed. North Carolina is full of good, God fearing, 2nd Amendment supporting patriots and I except that if any of his followers try this, there will be some business at the nearest emergency room. Not unlike those Antifa guys that tried to bust up an anti-illegal immigrant rally in Portland...there were casualties as most of the good guys were veterans and you KNOW what kinds of bullies and cowards are in Antifa... |

| #7 Unlikely, newc. Quick peek at pix suggests that the man doesn't own more than one collared shirt, let alone a clerical collar. |

| #2 Dear Durham minister and activist Paul Scott, Bite me. Your pal, SteveS To all the normal people, Happy Birthday, America! P.S. Party crashers bringing beer and dogs are welcome. |

| #1 Crashing folks cookouts when they have hot coals, booze and fireworks doesn't sound like a survival strategy at all. Maybe a test your Obamacare plan coverage game.. |
