♦ With all this threat of city-wide violence in Salisbury, N.C. and elsewhere across the United States because of Ferguson, it might be a good idea to defuse that anger in constructive ways like the Olympics or that giant graffiti easel on 329 S. Main. “The Knockout Game Saturday” would be a natural where young and old could come to Downtown Salisbury to see the city’s best one-punch artists scoring the big one. The Salisbury Police could keep order during the festivities. What a great excuse to get people together Downtown and talk about their anger on the sidewalks and constructively vent. Might even help some of the merchants.
Maybe the city could put up a big screen like they do in the park and show choice K.O. Game cell phone videos shot all over Salisbury over the year like you see on Youtube. Like an artificial backfire set to defuel a 100,000 acre out-of-control forest fire, “Knockout Game Saturday” might defuse some of the anger people are feeling about Ferguson. They could construct a small stage on Brick Street or at the Square where people could talk about their feelings and say what’s on really on the mind in a controlled environment.
A neurologist could make a killing on sidewalk concussions in the Bury.
The article appearing in the Rowan Free Press in November 29th, 2013 put Salisbury, N.C. on the map around the world from Hamburg to Malaya to Honduras with closing in on 10,000 Face Book shares and made the Bury into a per capita “simple assaults” capital. It also made Chief Rory Collins for a week the most notable “free speech” adversary in the U.S. with his infamous letter!
Since the Collins letter came out, we can see all the hundreds of simple assaults showing up in the Post’s crime blotter. How many of those simple assaults resulted from a young gangbanger scoring a sucker punch or “sneaking” a wino?
Let the City declare “Knock Out Game Day” in Downtown Salisbury on November the 29th!
