ON ROCKET LAUNCHERS

Remember this photo


It made the Wake County progressive community hysterical

Wake County Board of Commissioners Chairman Greg Ford referred to it as a "rocket launcher."


So what happened here? Pretty simple. The gentleman followed the law while carrying a weapon. He went into the Subway shop on Fayetteville Street in Raleigh. As the picture presents, he pulled out cash. He presumably bought a sandwich. He gave the Subway shop business. He gave them money. They gave him a product. Everyone is happy. 

Okay, so it looks a little odd. A lot of stuff around Raleigh looks odd the last month. But nothing illegal or dangerous. 

But what didn't make the progressive community hysterical? 

Countless buildings and businesses vandalized and destroyed. Among those? 

That same Subway shop. The one the gentleman with the "rocket launcher" patronized. 

He gave them business. The Black Lives Matter allies of the Wake County progressive cause gave the same Subway shop $80,000 in damages. They also put people who desperately need a job at this time out of work.




We would be willing to bet if Mr. Rocket Launcher and his friends had patronized the Subway that night the owner would still have his business open ... and would have had some paying customers as well.
