No one gives a s**t about your skin color or what your ancestors endured.

I don't get if this is directed at me or if you're just ranting?
I have a job, am not Black, Childless, and not on Welfare. lawl
Also I am male and the last seven men I slept with were unsuccessful at impregnating me.

Go troll elsewhere.

These riots are not because of race or gangs. They are sparked by outside influences. They are led by leftist, anarchist groups from outside the community that see an opportunity. These are the same groups that show up in every city where there is unrest to further their own political interests and with no regard to the communities and unfortunately the poor, uneducated people that live in these communities are too stupid to realize that and go along like sheep and "protest" by destroying the communities in which they live. Natural selection at work

Could be true though you have absolutely no proof. I could just as easily say it was by outside right-wing agitators looking to defame the black community. Perhaps conservative operatives trolled the ghettos, offering to pay hoodlums a nice sum to go cause mayhem.

See how easy it is to make unsubstantiated claims?

So I am reading excerpts of the DOJ report on Ferguson's PD and municipal court system... WOW. No wonder they tried to burn the city to the ground - sounds like being a minority resident of that city was a living hell.

If the abuses by Baltimore PD are even 1/5 of what was perpetrated in Ferguson, then these rioters are 100 percent justified. Reading this, I think the black residents of Ferguson showed restraint in not burning that whole corrupt place to the ground.

Sad part though is that it ends up harming the community more. Will burning the place to the ground really help people?
It might help the contractors rebuilding with insurance money..but besides that not too much.

I wonder if the DOJ would have been prompted to investigate if there wasn't so much outrage over the Michael Brown shooting. Sadly, it seems that level of outrage and protest is what it takes for deep-seated abuses to come to light.

Honestly I eouldbt care, though personally I would target government buildings and not private businesses. Of course in sure those cowards were protecting their city hall and muni buildings like Fort Knox while leaving the rest to burn.

Consider the source - one of the foremost practitioners of dirty politics and negative smears in California. He got his start as a Woo staffer before becoming Gray Davis' attack dog. He made some anti-Catholic remarks about Riordan, not wise in a city where the Roman Catholic Church is the largest religious group. He's about as unbiased as Rush Limbaugh would be about Obama or as Ed Shultz would be about Ted Cruz.
