Baltimore riots

We got a glimpse last night of what would happen if police decided to let things go unimpeded and anarchy reigned.

Again it's odd the murders of 56 black people, so far this year, in Baltimore, prior to the killing of Freddie Gray didn't seem to matter to anyone. We're less than halfway thru this year. Will the next 56 murders committed by those outside of the police department matter?

I also wonder if Mr. Gray would have been one preventing the violence or one participating in the violence?

I must ask the author of the article you cited why she left out the pumpkin and football rioters' actions of looting and attacking police.

And JMS must be busy otherwise he'd be on here typing 'straw man argument'

Too bad there isn't a Loyola Academy in every city.

That's just wrong.

Pretty funny that he is pounding Danzig on capitilization and spelling yet is completely wrong on the actual facts. I guess we should await the avalanche of statistics unrelated to any topic being discussed.

I admitted my mistake.

We'll see about Danzig.

Odd that you didn't catch her response to 70% of American Africans born out of wedlock with 4 out of 10 mothers regardless of race not being married, proving in her peanut brain that it's no longer a race issue.

Then in a fall on her face moment she states "The data shows the fastest growth in the past 20 years is among white women in their 20s with some college education but no four-year degree." Yet follows that up with her own analysis of more women being self-sufficient.

So there you have it, the largest increase of children being born out of wedlock is to self-sufficient, white women with no college degrees.

She must have been slow at math as well as English as a 4rth grader could figure out, using her stats, that 3 out of 10 African American women having children are married while for all women regardless of race it's 6 out of 10.

I'm sure you'll go verify what I just typed and point out her STRAWMAN argument proves it's still a race issue.

No worries, you wouldn't understand my posts if you could see them anyway.

I'm surprised that Mom, who is getting called a hero, isn't getting more backlash for beating the living hell out of her son.

Not that he didn't deserve it, but that seemed way aggressive and if someone would have seen that in a normal environment, it could have been considered child abuse!

Except the reason for him catching a beating, throwing rocks at cops, seemed just.

But you're right I'm surprised many aren't suggesting the kid should have been given a time out.

Had the cops beat him like his mother did we would have had another riot.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar,
but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you may murder the hater,
but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate.
So it goes.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness:
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
