STALL'S VOTING STALLED
Wake County just held their primary elections for North Carolina Republican Party candidates. Fortunately for Wake County Board of Education candidate Chad Stall, North Carolina provides numerous methods if the citizen cannot vote in person.
Why is that important for Chad Stall? He currently faces a trespass order for his own voting location - Douglas Elementary School. He's legally not allowed on the property - to vote or even campaign at his own precinct.
How did Chad Stall vote? He voted during the early voting period.

ON WAKE SCHOOL PROTESTS AND THE LEFT'S HYPOCRISY
Let's review content expressed by Jim Goodmon's Capitol Broadcasting Company's editorial:
"Berating, belittling, cursing and threatening. Seeing and hearing it from audiences has become all-too-common at local government meetings – particularly at local school boards.
It is the kind of behavior we’re sure -- if any of those speakers saw it on a visit to a public school among students or teachers – would ignite justifiable shock and concern for decorum and safety."
"... many who speak at public meetings are belligerent and threatening toward the elected to local board and commission members as well as to the professional administrators and even classroom teachers."
We'll take the bait and accept Goodmon/WRAL's standard for proper decorum at public meetings.
We'll also go down memory lane to 2010 ...
"In an interview Tuesday, Prickett said that at the closed-session discussion Sept. 24 on firing Tata, Sutton had told the GOP members that he and the Democratic members were “going to kick your asses.” The next day, Prickett said, Sutton got out of his seat, leaned over toward Goldman, clenched his fists and loudly said to her, “Shut the (expletive) up!” (emphasis added)
“He asked whether he was singled out as the only African-American male on the board.”
News & Observer - October 24, 2012
"At Tuesday's meeting, Sutton wore a #BlackLivesMatter shirt as he mentioned his near arrest at a July 2010 board meeting in which Raleigh Police arrested 16 people inside the board meeting room. Sutton had waded into the crowd, which was protesting the school board's efforts to end busing for diversity, in what he said was an attempt to defuse the situation."

And Raleigh spent millions to open up Fayetteville Street for vehicular traffic when it had pedestrian use for decades ...
