Charlotte’s time in the barrel. NC has been fortunate to be under the radar to this point in the immigration enforcement crosshairs. That may be ending.
 
I live in Uptown Charlotte, and walk my dog at all hours (he’s diabetic and has to pee a lot.) I have no issues and see the same homeless folks regularly. Some know my dog’s name and always stop to say hello and pet him. Most of the crime that gets sensationalized in the media happens well after midnight when the “clubs” are hopping and drunk people have beefs. I lived here in 1984-85 when Fourth Ward was just becoming a thing and the street crime was significantly worse back then. My wife thinks nothing of walking home alone from a concert at Spectrum Center and we frequently are roaming around after a game or after dinner out Uptown. We occasionally get panhandled on Tryon St but rarely anywhere else.

If troops come to Charlotte they will have a show of force Uptown, and maybe go into neighborhoods like Plaza Midwood or NoDa where they think they can provoke liberals. They won’t go out Beatties Ford Rd or to Hidden Valley where more innocent bystanders are more likely to be crime victims of gun wielding teenagers shooting at each other. They will go out to east Charlotte where most of the Hispanic immigrants live and make a show of raiding apartments and job sites.

It will be political theater and accomplish very little. Pat Harrigan ought to call me. I know a lot more about the situation on the ground than he (or Josh Stein for that matter) does.

Imagine they will hit Central Ave from Plaza Rd to when Central ends at Albemarle Rd. Large Latino area. Heart goes out to that community.
