@thecharlotteobserver: The terrifying drive-by shooting that killed a 4-year-old boy as he slept was an act of teen retaliation, and at least seven people were recorded firing shots into homes, according to arrest affidavits. ⠀ Four teens have been charged with murder in the death of Caleb Flax, and court documents indicate he was not an intended target. ⠀ “We’re here today because of a tragedy that didn’t just pierce the walls of a home, Patterson said before extending “the deepest condolences” of police to the family of the 4-year-old, Caleb Flax. ⠀ “It pierced the heart of an entire community. ⠀ “I know words cannot bring him back, but when I met with his family, I told them we would move swiftly and be diligent to try and bring justice for Caleb,” Patterson said. ⠀ ✍️: Mark Price and Joe Marusak 📸: Melissa Melvin-Rodriguez

30 days in jail and a fine seems appropriate. That’s the going rate now for murder in Charlotte.

I do not know chief Patterson of CMPD. But with all the crime and mismanagement, fraud and convictions among city council, CMS board, and county commission, plus almost every senior management position, I have one question: are there no white people living in Charlotte anymore?
These clowns cannot lead anything, much less a city and school system.
Hey voters, YOU did this.
