C’mon!

“winded” is not a word in the English language. Wound down, maybe...not winded down.

Journalists, what DON’T they know...

The Texas victim’s name was Morales. I don’t know what kind of a crowd these Juneteenth celebrations draw, but I bet that they are all Democrats.

So, maybe we could make a headline, “Democrats attack man at Juneteenth celebration.

a large group of festival goers leaving the area attacked at least two cars, one of which drivers was pulled from his vehicle and beaten

So a journalism major in college no longer has to pass grammar classes?

"Unfortunately at closing time everything came unhinged and there were some problems," Schwartz said.

A minority-oriented concert or festival turns into a riot at closing time? I'm shocked, shocked...

Why is Wisconsin celebrating a Texas event? An event commemorating the fact that the slaves in Texas heard about the Emancipation Proclamation 2.5 years late?

The article you site is a Mexican thing--and as far as I know, has nothing to do with a Juneteenth celebration. Since I live here, I have heard a lot or radio news stories about the incident, but I've never heard a reporter connect it with a Juneteenth celebration. In fact, I have heard of no Juneteenth celebrations going on in Austin yesterday.

I can remember when June 19th was a really big day for Blacks to celebrate---and they put on some very colorful celebrations around east Texas, where I grew up. Years later, Blacks could take the day as an official holiday from work.

Buffalo’s Juneteenth was so peaceful this year that the local media saw fit to comment on it.

Correction—I stated that wrong—What I have not heard of is any celebration that was a purely Black celebration, as it used to be. IOW, I don’t think calling this a “Juneteenth Celebration” makes it a Juneteenth celebration. Looks like it has turned into just another excuse for bad behavior for people of other races.

"After the festival winded down..."

Incorrect. That should be, "After the festival be winded down..."
