I'd rather walk than take the Charlotte Light Rail: "President Trump Responds After Previously Deported Illegal Alien Stabs Man on Charlotte Light Rail".
This is the same public transportation system on which a racist maniac murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska back in August. Since Ms. Zarutska's murder, security supposedly has been beefed up in Charlotte's various public transportation systems, including Light Rail, but it looks like there might still be a few holes in coverage (as well as in innocent passengers).
I always disliked Charlotte, having lived there once for a few months when I was about five years old, and decades later when I worked there for First Union National Bank (but commuted from my rural hometown two counties over). It has always been a relatively dangerous place, and it has gotten to be many times more so as the woke left has entrenched itself in government. I was appalled at the number of proto-wokesters back in the 1990s who worked for First Union, and I saw the way things were going. I left to go to graduate school in Arizona, and that turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
Charlotte wants to be Atlanta, but another ten years of Democrat governance will probably turn it into Memphis.
We spent four years at Fort Bragg during the height of the Vietnam War, when political correctness was just a worm beginning to slither its way in. I wasn’t fond of Fayetteville, but I mostly liked NC. It’s sad what’s happening to so many states now.
