RALEIGH -- The Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina branch of the NAACP, and six others arrested during Tuesday's session of the N.C. House decided to spend the night in the Wake County jail.
As he was being taken into custody, Barber said they were protesting the "extreme, draconian" budgets proposed by legislative Republicans. Both the proposed House and Senate spending plans would make deep cuts to nearly every area of state government, especially education and social programs.
Each of those arrested with Rev Barber was charge with two misdemeanors, one for disorderly conduct and trespassing, which I will never understand this charge since he was on public property which was and is open to the public by law..
Total bond for all those arrested was $12,500, which average out to $1785 person.
Rev Barber and group will hold a meeting tentatively scheduled this morning about 9:30 am at the Martin Street Baptist Church in Downtown Raleigh..
The NC Republicans got control of the NCGA thru lies which are not unusual at all. They Claim they were for jobs creation, yet no jobs have been created, but many have, and will be lost by their actions.
One could say to be a Republican is like being a KKK member the only different is they don’t wear the white sheets..
