A night of peaceful protests in downtown Asheville went sour when fireworks were fired towards Asheville police officers. Local, Matt Henson live streamed the protest most of the night, and got the moment on camera. It happens at minute 25 in the video below. Local, Joe Rathburn walked the streets of downtown Asheville this morning, and captured the aftermath and destruction left behind in the second video below. Here at Star 104.3 we condemn discrimination, injustice, and prejudice of any kind. However, our heart hurts for the local businesses of downtown Asheville who were already struggling due to COVID-19.
