As the House Judiciary Committee heads to Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday for a field hearing on violent crime, Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., who sits on the panel, told Newsmax that it’s time to course-correct the soft-on-crime policies that have led to horrific crimes like the targeted attack on a North Carolina waterfront bar over the weekend.
Three people were killed and at least eight were wounded Saturday night when someone piloted a small boat close to a waterfront bar in Southport, North Carolina, stopped briefly and opened fire before speeding off. Authorities said the shooting took place around 9:30 p.m.
“This is exactly what our House subcommittee from the Judiciary Committee is coming to Charlotte to do, and that is to have an opportunity to hear, in many cases, from victims of crime, to hear from law enforcement as well, that have been a part of this, and just see what we need to bring to light, because this is not something that the American people are going to tolerate,” Harris said on “Wake Up America.”
