Charlotte's Successful Fourth? »
Last year, Charlotte put on a Fourth of July spectacular, attracting some 80 thousand revelers and creating a melee of about 2,000 afterwards. Not a good site, apparently. I was actually out of town, so I missed out. Out of this crowd, some 20 were arrested, and one person was shot in the hand. So one-fortieth of the crowd fought, and one out of a thousand involved in the melee were arrested.
