The riots are nothing more than crimes of opportunity.
You have very little chances of getting arrested when mass looting is occurring.

I was sarcastically responding to a post above mine. I thought that was clear, but I digress.

and the charges will be dropped for those arrested.
The justice system is scared if they prosecute looter and rioters, there will be a backlash involving even more looting and rioting.

However, by dropping charges, looters and rioters know there is no punishment for their actions. Thus ,.............even more looting and rioting........next time.

My word, get over yourselves would you please?

With all the negativity surrounding the Baltimore riot, with many seeing it as a way for "thugs " and "hoodrats" to have an opportunity to loot, I think this would be a good article to help put the issue into context.
There are two issues in place.

1. Social inequality (gasoline)
2. Social injustice. (a match)

Yup..just like Ferguson.

10 have been possibly identified...0 have been arrested.
Ferguson police are waiting for the public to watch the videos and report in the names...lol

Funny how you can come right out and say that stuff without mods or PC police coming down on you, right?
You're coming off as someone with severe mental issues. How in the world would I know if everyone who posted bigoted/racist remarks in that other thread is White?

"Only old WHITE people are racist bigots and with some hope coming from you"

My goodness, your reading comprehension skills are either non-existent, or you're blatantly ignoring what I said and putting words in my mouth. Re-read what I originally wrote.
