I'm seldom shocked when it comes to politics, but this is beyond tactless shameful tasteless and opportunistic. Charlotte City Council Member Braxton Winston using the murder of a very well liked man and his image to solicit contributions to his campaign fund. The man's funeral arrangements are not even finalized.
Maybe you see it differently? If so I'm open minded. Please convince me that this is not the most utterly stunning display of bad taste you have ever seen.

I thought Ed Griggs was pretty rude and out of line on Monday. I guess I'm going to have to re-think that. Nice job playing the race and victim cards there Braxton.
Very similar tactics to the douche bags who play on people's emotions to steal money on Go Fund Me.
Pathetic....
The sort of person who would do this would have no problem putting a gun in your face to steal your car and pulling the trigger because you didn't hand over the keys fast enough. No morals no conscience no ethics and no place being an elected official in Charlotte.
Racist Cedar Mouth just hating on the fact that black folk control the city of Charlotte. Braxton is the best thing that ever happened to this city and we are gonna run the show from now on whitey! So get over it or move out.
827am......what's up Garnes?
Braxton is saying that housing is the root cause to people buying a gun and robbing people outside their businesses. Housing is the cause of murder? I never saw that on Law and Order.
Scott Brooks funeral is Saturday I'm sure Braxton with give the eulogy eloquent speaker that he is. What a fuckin POS just like WaWa Mayfield we need to eliminate his ass pronto!
Braxton doesnt have a job so he go around town begging for votes all week long.
Pretty damn low class jack ass if you ask me. I'm guessing this is what council member Griggs was really upset about, Braxton's load of crap he was unloading on Monday night. Playing the race card is just a load of shit. Then to say because of the lack of affordable housing this is the result is about as damn racist as you can get.
Braxton Winston is a complete scam. Find me one person that says Winston and Brooks were good friends, hell I'd be surprised if they ever even spoke to one and other.
Please tell me this is fake? No one is that low and classless are they?
With moves like this, he may as well line up to take Alma Adams place in Congress once she literally hangs her hat up.
Fuck You Racist Pigs
so having trouble paying the rent makes Black people kill??? I never knew that...
This is a guy that is working with CMPD to make things better.....lololololol
I'd like to sit in on his divorce hearing. Anyone know the dates?
There is NO way MCFADDEN will EVER have access to the airport. CMPD has that place on lockdown and their trust. MCFADDEN will make CLT a nightly news story and doesn’t even have the staff to take it on. If he ever did they wouldn’t know what to do there. MCSO needs to focus on the courts and civil process - you are NOT a enforcement agency as much as you want to be. Keep writing your LITTLE speeding tickets to make you feel big.
Winston playing the race card why is anyone surprised. No one here has come to his defense. Even the CP haters just hate and don't really defend Winston. But local media, other politicos silence.
This logic of his makes no sense. So high housing cost drives crime? Wouldn't the hispanic community be affected at the same level as the AfAm? I would think so. I am going to guess that the large portion of Hispanic crime is driven by the drug gangs, not run of the mill working class folks. They do what logical broke people do...they go to work. They make do, they share housing, whatever it is, but they don't go rob or steal, or kill. They work. There's plenty of jobs out there. Not all pay great, but you have 24 hours in the day. Start with one, then add on from there.
Braxton Winston condoned LaWana Mayfield's attacks, slammed CMPD officers at every turn, openly mocked a request to provide additional funding for police and fire memorial. And continues to support Henry Black who is chair of the citizens review board and is accused of not one but two cases of sexual assault on minors. What a freakin pos.
My understanding is the Putney refused to meet with Braxton Winston. Said nothing good would come of a private meeting but that he'd be happy to answer any questions in council chambers at anytime.
Seems none of you honkies have ever been a black man on a Saturday night. It ain't easy you know there are high expectations if you're a man of color.
Just like the PoPo catch me last Saturday night. I swear I ran as hard as I could and the little bald headed f'er still caught me. Then he's be axing me whatcha running for, well I dunno I say, so he axe me again whatcha running for I say I dunno I guess that's just what I do I always run cuz you always be chasin me.
So then the judge axe why was you resisting and I says I wasn't resisting I was running, and I tell him I was running cause I was being chased. So he let me go.
And eyes tell the judge thank you and that I'd seem him next Saturday night.
You see being black ain't easy. Isn't that right Braxton?
Braxton Winston is a fraud.
