Baltimore is 60% black with a black mayor and black police chief. I don't see white people being a factor in this dust up.

I blame them on Obama.

Freddy came of age during the Obama administration and never held a real job. He lived on a settlement check.

Friends and neighbors remember Freddie Gray: He

If Obama had created some shovel ready jobs, this man would have been at work rather than carrying a switchblade knife while running from cops patrolling an open air drug marketplace.

your right. Laying around all day sucking the life out of entitlements does nothing for a positive view of self. Add to that drug dealing and God knows what else and you have a reciepe for disaster. I saw that an NAACP local President got busted for drug dealing. This doesn't help either when the people young blacks are supposed to look up to are doing theses things.

At some point it's going to break. People are going to get tired of their property being destroyed by animals. When that happens it's really going to get ugly.

...plus an awful lot of smiling going on in this morning's newspaper shots.

It's nothing more than an excuse to loot and cause mayhem. Apparently they didn't read Eric Holder's report affirming that the Ferguson "Hands up, don't shoot" mantra was based on a lie, because it's still being repeated.

Yup. We feel aggrieved. So let's go burn down a Korean deli.

Watching the riots I saw a lot of baggy pants. "Pants up, don't loot" still should be shouted from the rooftops.

If if you did argue that government creates Jobs. It would originate in the House which President Obama's party hasnt controlled since January of 2011.

But Freddie "came of age" in 2009, the year of the big stimulus that created hundreds of millions of jobs and the House was ruled by Nancy Pelosi.
