So this is Juneteenth.Multiple women were seen twerking on the top of an ambulance in Lake Merritt in Oakland, California on Saturday night, as paramedics attempted to make their way through to the scene of a shooting in which one person was killed and at least seven others were wounded.
The ambulance was stopped in its tracks by the crowd which was said to be around 1,000-strong as people gathered to celebrate Juneteenth after it was declared a federal holiday.
When the ambulance could go no further, at least five women began twerking at the side while another pair jumped on the hood of the emergency vehicle.
At least one person was also spotted on top of the roof at one point.
You can read the article and watch the video footage.Daily Mail.
Do you have a real source?

There’s a full video in the article. Is there any context that makes a gang shooting and a mob stopping an ambulance to twerk on it ok?I don't trust British tabloids to put anything in context or just not make shit up.
Daily Mail.

Lol. I’m just curious as to why you would jump to that conclusion. But in keeping the topic of this thread the commenter in the video above your post asks a great question. “How are reparations gonna fix this?”Cool so we are going for it's ok to broad brush here but if I say you are an Insurrection lover and supporter you lose your minds..
Oh well.
From 'Red Pill"I saw it on both local and national news.
Here's an interesting take on twerking on ambulances. You probably won't like it though....
So this is Juneteenth.
I saw it on the news too. It was video that simply made one stop and ponder - what on earth has happened to this country and some of its people.I saw it on both local and national news.

In such cases, emergency vehicles should be allowed to run the criminals over. The lives of the innocent should be preferred to those of criminals.So this is Juneteenth.

I think it’s certainly representative of what has been normalized and glorified in the media and the prevailing mindset among progressives. Think about it. It’s Juneteenth. The day the last slaves found out they were free and the first time it’s been recognized as a national holiday.No. No, it's not. My community has celebrated Juneteenth for decades, and events include a parade, mini-blues and gospel fests, and free admission to a new exhibit on loan from the Smithsonian at the African-American museum.
The twerking is disgusting--fools will be fools--but this is not representative at all. And this is why it made the news.
Did this happen all over the country?I think it’s certainly representative of what has been normalized and glorified in the media and the prevailing mindset among progressives. Think about it. It’s Juneteenth. The day the last slaves found out they were free and the first time it’s been recognized as a national holiday.
And what did those people do with it? Black gang members shot a black man dead in the middle of the street and two others were down and bleeding in the road. And nobody was even phased by it. Instead, 1,000 revelers were dancing in the street and obstructing the ambulance while twerking practically over their bodies. That was Juneteenth. And if it had been a white police officer involved shooting - there’d be no city left.
Did this happen all over the country?
At least eight people were fatally shot and dozens were injured during parties or gatherings on or related to the Juneteenth holiday injured in seven parts of the country, according to officials and local reports.
Shootings on Saturday – a newly declared federal holiday honoring Juneteenth – were reported during events in Colorado, California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana and South Carolina, among others, with at least 33 wounded, according to authorities and multiple reports.
Speaking to reporters following multiple shootings in her city on Saturday, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw noted that many began the day celebrating the designation of Juneteenth as a new federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery but "we again found ourselves lamenting as an otherwise beautiful afternoon had been sullied with gun violence."
Why is that a great question? Why would one expect reparations for slavery to fix something like this?Lol. I’m just curious as to why you would jump to that conclusion. But in keeping the topic of this thread the commenter in the video above your post asks a great question. “How are reparations gonna fix this?”
Yep. Here’s another example:Did this happen all over the country?
What "prevailing mindset among progressives" are you talking about?I think it’s certainly representative of what has been normalized and glorified in the media and the prevailing mindset among progressives.

Watch the video in post#6 for more on that.What "prevailing mindset among progressives" are you talking about?
There are those on the right who think that reinstating slavery will fix it.Why is that a great question? Why would one expect reparations for slavery to fix something like this?
So in seven cities. My question is how long each of these cities has been celebrating Juneteenth? Baton Rouge has for a long time, but I'm wondering about the other cities because Juneteenth is a Texas thing. Or was anyway.Juneteenth violence: At least 8 killed, dozens injured during Saturday shootings
