- Thread starter Hawk in SEC Country
- Start date
no, but I do recall that prior to bush and the patriot act, we could go to ball games and airports without getting our grandma groped
What's wrong with those people?
What's more why isn't the police or National Guard taking control?
You meet violence with violence, if the police start fighting back the protesters/agitators will go away one way or another.

Remember when Obama was president and he didn't lose 3,000 people on some September morning.....dumb tweet is dumb.
Oh come on!! That operation was going on when Clinton was in office, remember? It's Clinton's fault 9-11 happened, not Bush's.
No sir your uneducated 9/11 was planned during the Clinton Administration and is an actual direct result of Clintons Justice dept. creating a wall between the FBI and CIA sharing information. Let's also not forget his inaction on prior terror attacks on the U.S. during the 90's including the first WTC attack in 93'.
I don't recall if there were nationwide anti-muslim riots under bush here in this nation- but I know for a fact a bunch of folks joined the military and wanted to "go over there" and fight the muslims

So kill him? White boy shoots up a movie theater and he will spend a cushy life in a solitude prison cell and probably even have a TV.
There must be more to the story. How can a guy get arrested so often, so close together and not serve time? Were all the arrests bogus? Is it no longer a crime to do these things in MD? Need more details.

Hearing that this crack dealer that died was in a bad ATV accident the day before being arrested. Makes sense as to how his back was injured.
I haven't been watching much coverage today. I did just click over to MSNBC from the Cubs game and found myself hoping that Chris Hayes would be both tear gassed and beaten with a truncheon tonight.

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:
Complete and utter bull shit. It was a clear and organized "purge" and that is why they were there. They weren't there bc they were forced off any buses. To insinuate they rioted bc the cops trapped them and forced them too is just more irresponsible excuse making that has become common in this inner city culture.
An example of a n...., except not in the congenial what's up sort of way. I'd ice his ass. Go read his Twitter.....and that of some of his Baltimore loot crew.....need to catch the dead, serve no purpose on earth.

Remember when H. W. Bush was President and we had to close the City of Los Angeles because of riots? Anybody blaming the then-sitting President for riots is a moran.
Went to the Baltimorelootcrew tag and read a few tweets. I hope Luis catches a stray. What a pile.
Huh what? Where did you hear that?
And no comments on fan favorite Al Sharpton's words for the governor about questioning the mayors handling of the situation?

The last thing you want in the riot zone right now is a "military" type presence. The Nat'l Guard going in should always be the last resort.
F**king idiots on both sides of life.Huge FAIL
maybe we do need a global conflict.....to thin the heard a bit.
Been working all day. Could I get some cliffnotes from today's action? Pics are helpful.
