Baltimore riots

These were not just a few thugs and in fact the majority of those who looted the mall were high school students, attending school and finishing the day's classes. Many also appeared to not be so economically disadvantaged as they drove their vehicles to and from the mall looted. Again just ignorant people/students acting ignorant and ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law.

BTW I bet most involved couldn't pick Gray out of a three man lineup and saw the situation as an opportunity to get some free stuff.

Rioting is wrong no matter what the color of skin or reason. In Vancouver people (mainly white) rioted over the Canucks WINNING the Stanley Cup. Still doesn't make what happened in Baltimore OK or more just.

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.

To wit:
"When nonviolence is preached as an attempt to evade the repercussions of political brutality, it betrays itself. When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse. When nonviolence is preached by the representatives of the state, while the state doles out heaps of violence to its citizens, it reveals itself to be a con. And none of this can mean that rioting or violence is "correct" or "wise," any more than a forest fire can be "correct" or "wise." Wisdom isn't the point tonight. Disrespect is. In this case, disrespect for the hollow law and failed order that so regularly disrespects the community."

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.

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!

yeah...there's no such thing as brutality, or racism for that matter! said the person who encounters neither, therefore it doesn't exist for anyone.

and then there's this twisted take, with no consistency:

http://www.inquisitr.com/1916634/fox...cist-ferguson/

megan kelly says we don't have a racism problem, and then talks about companies having all kinds of racist emails in their inboxes...
er, so is racism not a big deal because it doesn't exist, or because it's so prevalent, megan?
