Nah, it will be because of racist white people. No one tells them to put their racist views on 40 million people of which over 39 million have no part in Baltimore or rioting of any kind. To put that behavior on all is ridiculous.

I agree, what they've done is criminal, but the whole thing is, they are now afraid, can you imagine, if they would have shot one of those criminals....? I mean, Freddie, was a criminal....

but they don't care, it's white on black....actually they are the racists, and they are the ones that keeps hate alive.....

Actually a riot in Baltimore doesn't have any effect on my life, so other than this being sensational news for people to feel like it matters to them, this doesn't really mean much.

Actually, Baltimore is a majority black police force.

Well, this is what I have to say about this. Calls for peace aren't working. Rioters and looters aren't going to listen to reason. And especially when many of them are gang members. "Live by the sword, die by the sword" is the philosophy. What has stopped looting in the past(of businesses anyway) are people shooting looters. I am in favor of people defending their businesses. What I hope doesn't happen are those persons who use the Stand Your Ground mentality as an excuse to shoot random people whether they are looting or not.

Why don't people respond to what is written? I wrote what I think is a very, very thoughtful post about this situation and instead of thinking about it you respond with the so are you saying rioting is ok nonsense.

Its an irrelevant question.

Is state sponsored violence the answer? Is the city of Baltimore paying out millions of dollars to average citizens due to police brutality or civil rights violations the answer?

I think the riots and my two questions are related.

Just a "poor choice of words." Typical Leftist cover. We're interpreting it wrong. Sure.

Yep and they act like civilized people in a civil society. I see no danger in them expressing their opinions peacefully.
