So the Sox will have to play a double header on some off day later in the year and then fly right back out to the next series. Great....thanks rioters. It wont be good if those games turn out to be meaningful.
I would say the reason "blacks" end up on the wrong end of justice is because of people who think like you.
How did you ever come to believe this? Do you think continuing to believe stuff like this is going to fix the problem? I would say that you are a major part of the problem.
There is an old saying that if you want peace, then work for justice. That would seem to apply here.
Both sides are right and wrong.....I would say it's a combination of them not getting the benefit of the doubt, combined with piss poor parenting, lack of instilled values do to our welfare programs and previously mentioned lack of parenting. This leads to a perpetual motion machine of black poverty, leading to black crime, leading to stereotypes being formed, and then it repeats.
Here like... Baltimore? Are you watching the same reports I am? I don't think what is going on could in any way be construed for "working for justice".
Every time I see the local minister or community leader I just cringe. I just know that guy is taking the people he claims to help to the cleaners for money. Also why is it that the black community is always looking for someone to come in and take responsibility for what is happening around them. The total lack of self respect and responsibility is disturbing to me.
The Mayor is an idiot..... She just is. That's it. Watch her press conference at 4:15 pm today.
Affirmative action in government.

Just announced ATF teams are going to Baltimore. Wonder if it has to do with that dudes twitter arsenal.
BTW, Cedar Falls police would have had Baltimore wrapped up in 20 minutes and still had a lot of time left over to write out excessive headlight and seat belt violations.

Where is the pic from because I am almost sure this is Chicago, boystown neighborhood on Halstead. Which might explain a little bit.

I live 3 blocks down the street from there. Walk past there all the time headed to Wrigley, lol. Can't fool me. Funny story, went in to eat there once thinking it was a "diner" diner, but it was all vegan food. Got up and left before the waters got back to the table. Felt like a dick but oh well, what can you do without steak.

Eyewitnesses: The Baltimore Riots Didn't Start the Way You Think
After Baltimore police and a crowd of teens clashed near the Mondawmin Mall in northwest Baltimore on Monday afternoon, news reports described the violence as a riot triggered by kids who had been itching for a fight all day. But in interviews withMother Jones and other media outlets, teachers and parents maintain that police actions inflamed a tense-but-stable situation.
When school let out that afternoon, police were in the area equipped with full riot gear. According to eyewitnesses in the Mondawmin neighborhood, the police were stopping busses and forcing riders, including many students who were trying to get home, to disembark. Cops shut down the local subway stop. They also blockaded roads near the Mondawmin Mall and Frederick Douglass High School, which is across the street from the mall, and essentially corralled young people in the area. That is, they did not allow the after-school crowd to disperse.
Meghann Harris, a teacher at a nearby school, described on Facebook what happened:
Police were forcing busses to stop and unload all their passengers. Then, [Frederick Douglass High School] students, in huge herds, were trying to leave on various busses but couldn't catch any because they were all shut down. No kids were yet around except about 20, who looked like they were waiting for police to do something. The cops, on the other hand, were in full riot gear, marching toward any small social clique of students…It looked as if there were hundreds of cops.
The kids were "standing around in groups of 3-4," Harris said in a Facebook message to Mother Jones. "They weren't doing anything. No rock throwing, nothing…The cops started marching toward groups of kids who were just milling about."
A teacher at Douglass High School, who asked not to be identified, tells a similar story: "When school was winding down, many students were leaving early with their parents or of their own accord." Those who didn't depart early, she says, were stranded. Many of the students still at school at that point, she notes, wanted to get out of the area and avoid any Purge-like violence. Some were were requesting rides home from teachers. But by now, it was difficult to leave the neighborhood. "I rode with another teacher home," this teacher recalls, "and we had to route our travel around the police in riot gear blocking the road… The majority of my students thought what was going to happen was stupid or were frightened at the idea. Very few seemed to want to participate in 'the purge.'"
A parent who picked up his children from a nearby elementary school, says via Twitter, "The kids stood across from the police and looked like they were asking them 'why can't we get on the buses' but the police were just gazing…Majority of those kids aren't from around that neighborhood. They NEED those buses and trains in order to get home." He continued: "If they would've let them children go home, yesterday wouldn't have even turned out like that."
Meg Gibson, another Baltimore teacher, described a similar scene to Gawker: "The riot police were already at the bus stop on the other side of the mall, turning buses that transport the students away, not allowing students to board. They were waiting for the kids.…Those kids were set up, they were treated like criminals before the first brick was thrown." With police unloading busses, and with the nearby metro station shut down, there were few ways for students to clear out.
Several eyewitnesses in the area that afternoon say that police seemed to arrive at Mondawmin anticipating mobs and violence—prior to any looting. At 3:01 p.m., the Baltimore Police Department posted on its Facebook page: "There is a group of juveniles in the area of Mondawmin Mall. Expect traffic delays in the area." But many of the kids, according to eyewitnesses, were stuck there because of police actions.
The Baltimore Police Department did not respond to requests for comment.
Around 3:30, the police reported that juveniles had begun to throw bottles and bricks. Fifteen minutes later, the police department noted that one of its officers had been injured. After that the violence escalated, and rioters started looting the Mondawmin Mall, and Baltimore was in for a long night of trouble and violence. But as the event is reviewed and investigated, an important question warrants attention: what might have happened had the police not prevented students from leaving the area? Did the department's own actions increase the chances of conflict?
As Meghann Harris put it, "if I were a Douglas student that just got trapped in the middle of a minefield BY cops without any way to get home and completely in harm's way, I'd be ready to pop off, too."
On social media, eyewitnesses chronicled the dramatic police presence before the rioting began:

I did the same thing, but ended up getting the spaghetti. Never went back, but my lesbian friends love it. I'm usually across the street at Nookies.

since I was born in the late 60's, I only heard about race riots and riots and such in the history books and on tv. I never would have thought that by the time I was getting close to 50 yes old I would witness 1960's style race riots in the year 2015. they told me we would be out of oil by now and we would either have flying cars like the Jetson's or beam each other up like on star trek. so there's that: they were wrong about predicting the future.
LOL at Ray Lewis preaching that violence is never the answer.
Let's be honest, this won't end until black families include a father and mother who instill hard work and education. You're seeing this shit happen with the breakdown of white families too....Let's not bash single mother's, but let's not promote that shit either. Hispanics and Asians have pretty strong work ethics, great family values....do all you white hating dickheads see the difference?
This is the type of person that the news needs to interview. The only problem I have with the video is some of the language he uses.
Who did Bruce Jenner murder? And if people died so that others could disrespect and trash talk the country, isn't that sort of respectful to exercise that right?Huge FAIL
