None of mine would have taken a mask to school. We have no idea if this is legit or not. It might be but we once though Richard Jewell was certainly guilty.

It's not about race... it's about decades of failed liberal policies as it is explained here by Keith Koffler.

The seething anger we are witnessing is that of a population that has been beaten down by decades of failed liberal policies that have kept them in the same situation they were 50 years ago, perhaps tempered a bit financially by some welfare spending.

...
those policies have bred disengagement from normal society and the workforce, a breakdown in social mores, and dependency on the government.

It is people like Obama, and the “help” they are providing, who have set the stage for these riots.



Also from David Clarke, the African American sheriff of Milwaukee...

Like Baltimore, like Ferguson, like New York and many other areas, where failed liberal government policies have led to high unemployment, chronic poverty, failing schools, this is what besets the Baltimore area. Ninety percent of the homicide victims in the Baltimore area are black, as are 90 percent of the suspects.

...
These individuals that are rioting and looting right now and throwing rocks and bottles do not know Freddie Gray – do not care about Freddie Gray – and if they were in a nightclub in Baltimore, would shoot and kill him for bumping into them on the dance floor.

She has been caught in a blatant lie, and she says, "It is very unfortunate that members of your industry decided to miss-characterize my words, and try to use it as a way to say that we are inciting violence.

This woman should resign from office immediately. To allow people to destroy property, and then lie about what she said, is unforgivable.

Further, this kind of protest is a clear violation of law. Freedom to assemble does not allow for stopping vehicles etc. This was unlawful assembly.

This raged out of control largely because of her mishandling of this entire incident.

The media reported the facts, which included her exact words. The media has not misquoted her.
The Mayor of Baltimore is not looking too good.

The problem is once the political leadership of a place uses its police force to carry out daily humiliation and dehumanization and violence against its own citizens, with no punishment or change forth coming from the state to stop that treatment, violence is inevitable given the right spark because the state is carrying out violence against its own citizens.

These actions by the state and the police delegitimizes the police and political leadership to those citizens.

You cannot have the state using its authority and power illegally against its own citizens without a hugely destructive outcome.

In the last 4years over 100 people have reached payouts or settlements with the city of Baltimore pertaining to police brutality or civil rights violations from the Baltimore police.

When the thousands of previous wrongs continue to happen with no one ever addressing them.

And the city's leadership has done nothing to change that. And this time racism cannot be used because the city's leadership is Black. You can't use political parties because the city's leadership are all Democrats.

So now that we take racism and political party out of the picture..just what is left ?
