Councilman Braxton Resists the Insensitivity of Protocol and Speaks for the People

In the wake of the death of my very own friend, Reginald Lawrence, murder #102, Councilman Braxton Winston put people over protocol as he gave a heart felt speech about the beloved Scott Brooks, co-owner of Brooks' Sandwich House and murder victim #105. The story Winston shared in Chambers was rudely interrupted by Councilman Ed Driggs. 

Now as a resident of Charlotte, this is an example of how lightly some are taking this surge of murders. Zoning laws and land issues are great to discuss but mean nothing if the fine people in our city our being slaughter. And there is no more of an appropriate place than Chambers to address this epidemic. 

As I watched Winston tell the story of Mr. Brooks, I found myself proud of the vote I just recently made. Winston is meeting  the expectancy of his constituents. Salute Sir for making Charlotte face the demon of violence. And the struggle continues.
