It’s just a bunch of assholes taking advantage of a situation. They don’t give a shit about Freddie Gray. [/quote]
They don’t give a shit about Freddy Gray, they give a shit about the fact that the police KILLED another black man and the next one could be THEM. Why is that so hard for white people to understand? [/quote]
Because it isn’t true. These rioters care about one thing, themselves. The peaceful protesters that demonstrated on Saturday and attended Freddie’s funeral, they are the ones that actually care and their purpose has been buried under this garbage.
These fucking douche bags are nothing more than that. Douche bags that think because one guy dies in police custody they get to destroy a community. Their own community, they’re morons and thugs.

Put yourself in their shoes for minute and let it sink in. PEOPLE, black people for the most part, but plenty of other people, are being KILLED, BRUTALIZED and VIOLATED consistently by the fucking police and rarely is anything being done about it. [/quote]
Angry, with all due respect, get real. Black people in Baltimore city KILL, BRUTALIZE, and VIOLATE their fellow black citizens way more than the police do. [/quote]That’s some ignorant shit there, bro. For every “thug” hassled by the police, how many young black men minding their own business are harassed? WHAT’S THEIR CRIME? Being BLACK? Please… [quote] Let’s not pretend the citizens of Baltimore are angels here.

People are angry about being stopped and frisked coming out of the store for the “crime” of being black. IT IS HAPPENING and it’s WRONG.[/quote]
People can be angry. By all means, be angry. Protest. Good for them. However, burning down a CVS after looting it, destroying a housing project for the elderly being built by a community church, and looting small locally owned businesses is fucking non-sense and has zero to do with being angry at the police.
[/quote]Here’s a newsflash: it ISN’T the citizens of Baltimore doing the burning. It’s the “out of towners” who travel from one race riot to another and stir shit up.[quote]
It’s just thugs taking advantage of a family’s nightmare to break the law. The fucking Crips and Bloods have come out against the violence for Christ sake…[/quote]
Here’s an article from NPR.
Alexander, who only wanted to be identified by his first name, was watching a small corner market burn down.
He pointed at the fire trucks that were trying to make their way through the street. He pointed at the police officers. He said those flames were the only way to get them to come into this part of Baltimore.
Nobody was calling for peace when Baltimore police officers were beating innocent black men, he said.
“Where was the peace when we were getting shot? Where’s the peace when we were getting laid out? Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then? They don’t want to call for peace then. But you know when people really want peace? When the white people have to get out of bed, when cops have to wear riot gear, when the cops start talking about, oh we got broken arms. Then they want peace,” he said. “Peace? It’s too late for peace.”
Remember how this all started: THE COPS KILLED A MAN. THEY BROKE HIS SPINE. How many cops got arrested for KILLING Freddy Gray?
Oh, that’s right: NONE[/quote] I suppose this is justified now.
