TERRIBLE TRAGEDY …

Two people are dead and many injured following a circus tent collapse at the Lancaster fairgrounds following severe weather that tore through the area with one-inch hail, 60-mph winds and frequent lightning. The terrible incident took place at approximately 5:30 p.m in Lancaster, NH.

Two people were killed when a circus tent collapsed at the Lancaster fairgrounds as severe weather moved through the area Monday evening.

Approximately 15 people were injured and taken to four regional hospitals, the state fire marshal’s office said. There was no word on the extent of their injuries.

About 100 people were inside the tent at the time of the collapse, which occurred after 5:30 p.m.

UPDATE I: Officials said a father and his daughter were killed and at least 22 others were injured.

UPDATE II: Officials probe New Hampshire circus tent collapse that killed father, daughter; 22 injured.

Safety officials in New Hampshire are investigating the collapse of a circus tent during a severe storm that killed a father and daughter and injured about 22 others.

“We all this morning have heavy hearts,” Gov. Maggie Hassan told WMUR-TV early Tuesday. “We lost two lives — a father and a daughter — at an event that was supposed to be fun.”

Authorities were looking at how the tent was put up at the Lancaster Fairgrounds, about 90 miles north of the capital of Concord. They also were talking to survivors and witnesses.

Heidi Medeiros, who was at the circus with her 3-year-old son, said it suddenly went dark and she heard someone screaming, “Get out, get out.”

Black Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong Says “All Lives Matter” After White Officer Sean Bolton Fatally Shot by Black Thug (VIDEO)

WHAT WOULD THE BLACK LIVES MATTER FOLKS SAY ABOUT THIS …

Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said following the murder of white police officer Sean Bolton by black suspect Tremaine Wilbourn, that not just black lives matter, but all lives matter. Did we forget to mention that the Memphis Police director was black? What will the Black Lives Matter crowd and liberal moon-bats say to this? We were witness to the insanity of this movement and the gutless nature liberal, pandering politicians running for the Democrat nomination for president at Netroots when Martin O’Malley actually apologized for making the comment that, “all lives matter”.

“As a community we say so often as a theme — black lives matter,” Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said while speaking with reporters. “And at the end of the day, we have to ask ourselves, do all lives matter? Regardless of race, creed, color, economic status, what profession that person holds.”

Black police chief rejected the politically correct refrain of “black lives matter” to ask if all lives matter.

Staring in the face of the death of one of his officers for the third time in four years, a black police chief rejected the politically correct refrain of “black lives matter” to ask if all lives matter.

Memphis Police Officer Sean Bolton was shot multiple times Saturday night during what appears to be a routine traffic stop, with a passer-by using the officer’s radio to call for help, according to CNN. Bolton, 33, died after being taken to the hospital. The killer remains at large.

“As a community we say so often as a theme — black lives matter,” Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said while speaking with reporters. “And at the end of the day, we have to ask ourselves, do all lives matter? Regardless of race, creed, color, economic status, what profession that person holds.”

“All lives matter,” he added. “And this is just a reminder of how dangerous this job is.”

Does anyone really wonder why police officers act like they do when they approach a vehicle? There is no such thing as a routine stop for the police as they never know if there is some punk-a$$ thug in the vehicle looking to kill them over a couple grams of pot.
