re: AP teacher at Cary High was arrested yesterday

Yesterday afternoon my wife and I were out and decided to have a beer at a brewpub in downtown Cary. We went our normal route and turned a corner and ended up in the middle of a peaceful protest.

There were hundreds of people on one side of the street holding signs, with police holding them at bay. As we continued on our way the police gave the “slow” sign and 10 or so peaceful protestors ran out in the road and blocked our way. We turned around and the crowd erupted in cheers. Then, more people blocked our way, and a cop came up and told us to honk the horn. As we were stopped I saw cell phones held up recording everything. When we honked the horn, the peaceful protestors got up out of the road as other peaceful protestors cheered and we went on our way

This really shook up my wife. The mob could have rushed the car and tipped it over, but it is Cary after all. I was pissed because it all seemed staged for social media.
