'Blue tsunami,' Womack felony case: What Charlotte Observer readers talked about Nov. 2-8

From a history-making Senate race to a senator’s airport ultimatum, Charlotte Observer readers had plenty to talk about last week. Here are the five stories that drew the most comments on charlotteobserver.com from Nov. 2-8. Cooper flips NC’s Senate seat blue Former Gov. Roy Cooper became North Carolina’s first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate since 2008, defeating Republican Michael Whatley with 58.7% of the vote. “What do you say, North Carolina?” Cooper asked a Raleigh crowd. “Are you ready for change? Are you ready to turn things around for hardworking people?” »» Read the story, see the comments Masten: This is what a ‘mandate’ looks like Deputy Opinion Editor Paige Masten argued that Tuesday’s blue wave — Cooper’s nearly 20-point win, plus Democratic pickups in gerrymandered congressional and legislative districts — amounts to a true voter mandate, unlike the one Republicans claimed after 2024. “Turns out, voters don’t like dysfunction, tyranny and corruption,” she wrote. »» Read the story, see the comments What’s next for Womack’s felony charge?

Charlotte settles class-action suit on police trapping, gassing 2020 protesters

The City of Charlotte and its police officials have settled a class-action lawsuit on controversial tactics used to trap and gas protesters who were marching against police brutality in 2020. More than 60 plaintiffs hinged the 2021 lawsuit on claims that police acted unlawfully when they used a now-banned kettling technique to corral more than 400 protesters down uptown’s Fourth Street, herd them into a police trap and pummel them with tear gas, smoke grenades, pepper balls and other chemicals on June 2, 2020. At the time, protesters had been filling the city’s streets for nearly a week — as they had in cities across the United States — in response to the 2020 Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. Body-worn camera footage captured a sergeant’s words as the protesters marched by that night: “Wave goodbye,” he said to another Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officer. “They’re all about to get gassed.” The lawsuit named the City of Charlotte, two former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department chiefs, Johnny Jennings and Kerr Putney, two majors, a deputy chief, a sergeant and a lieutenant and as defendants. The case was set to go before local jurors on Monday, but the trial was canceled. The Clerk of

Habitat for Humanity moves closer to building homes in Kings Mountain

Habitat for Humanity in Cleveland County is one step closer to building homes in Kings Mountain. The Kings Mountain City Council voted at its October meeting to move forward with plans to convey several parcels of land at the north end of Myers Street to the Kings Mountain Redevelopment Commission, which will then transfer the property to the nonprofit. The developed homes will be the first in Kings Mountain for Habitat for Humanity. The process began in 2024, when the city identified the four parcels as a potential site for Habitat for Humanity homes. Since then, the city has been working to determine how to legally convey the property to the organization. In June, the city attempted to transfer the land through an upset bid process, but those plans were scrapped after Sundown Automotives submitted an unexpected bid of $3,000. More: Kings Mountain seeks new path for Habitat for Humanity land sale Henry Earl, assistant city manager, presented a new proposal to council, saying the process had been a long time coming. "Staff is asking council to convey to the Redevelopment Commission who, acting in their capacity as a housing authority, will then in turn convey it to Habitat Humanity
