How can they possibly justify burning down a drug store serving the community?
That just shows you how intelligent these idiots are. They burn down their own neighborhoods and destroy stores that are there for their convenience ! I say let them burn that place to the ground and never rebuild any of it. Maybe when they get tired of having no stores to shop in they will realize how they shot themselves in the foot.
But in the meantime they will have all that free booze and other stuff they stole to keep themselves occupied. They don't give a damn about Gray, this is just an excuse to load up on free alcohol and drugs.
This is where America is going, folks, and it will be coming to a city near you soon.
Groups of people have started to riot as of about 20 minutes ago, looks to be mostly youths of high school age throwing bricks,rocks,bottles etc at police.
Several High Schools have reported Black students walked out and seems they went to the location where the rioting broke out.
News reporters have been injured, cops injured one left unresponsive.
Naturally looting has started, CVS pharmacy currently under siege.
Sad day for Baltimore!
Completely agree that it is a sad day in Baltimore.
From what I understand about 10,000 gathered in peaceful protest, but the looters and thugs got all the media coverage.
Nothing wrong with the peaceful protesters there, but the violence and looting by the thugs and the gang members is totally unacceptable. Looking at Freddie Gray's arrest history, he probably had good cause for trying to run from the Police.

If it wasn't for the stupid war on drugs, he wouldn't even have a record.
Nah. Let them riot. What apologists are calling a "protest".
I say give them what they want, order the police to pull back and let them have at it. Let the rest of America, and the world, see what they are really like. (though I'm guessing they already know)
(The ones responsible for this destruction are the rioters.)
^---- Posted in response to KaBoom who was still justifying the behavior.
Well seems this is what indeed is what happened since I posted that yesterday afternoon. The "apologist" Mayor is now calling them "criminals". Sky News spent about 2-3 minutes on it and said it reminded them of reporting in a 3rd world country. Well no surprises here. Probably more time than it deserved.
(At least this is being shown on the international media. I'd imagine that CNN, MSBNC, etc are still justifying the actions of these AA thugs. )
maybe the next race riot, we'll see protestors break into libraries and bookstores and start to forcibly educate themselves into a higher level of knowledge, then take that to create jobs/schools/opportunities for their fellow neighbors and then vote to change policies/leaders and then in 20-30 years lift the city/community out of crime and poverty thus ending this viscious cycle.
Maybe.
Now that would be a great riot. Right?
lol!
