Glad I live in Oregon. We may have a meth issue, but it sure beats waking up in the morning and wondering what I'm gonna see first: some thugs ass crack, or some thug slinging crack.

If I remember correctly, that is the only CVS/Pharmacy in that area for a while.
The mayor has been trying to attract businesses big grocery stores, outlets etc, to these poor areas, and this is what happens when businesses try to take that chance.

It's pretty sad. I grew up close to this area, went to a local school. The kids were nuts. They set fires in the school, when there was a teacher strike a few years ago the kids went out and something very similar to this, though not to this extent...

My feeling is this has very little to do to Gray...

This is just bad parenting, criminals...

He's a Republican. No need to worry as long as it is confined to the black areas. If they start heading downtown, the guard will be activated ASAP.

A Republican elected in a majority Democratic state whose opponent was a Black Lt. Gov.

The Guard was just activated about 2 minutes ago.

I'm guessing the riots are in a Lower Class African-American neighbourhood that is run-down right?

Well duh Poverty + Police tensions = explosions!
Sit what's the reason for the looting?

It's what the Mayor wants ..... of course, I'm sure everyone knows that it's he PO-Leese Department that will get the blame for Burning, Looting, Killings. Let them do their worst and let the citizens deal with it and PAY for it. Madam Mayor can explain it all to them.

None the less ...... that exactly what they should do since nobody in Baltimore has the fortitude to handle these Mad Lawless Mobs. I've seen this screenplay ..... they have to institute a 'non-negotihtble' sundown curfew. Anyone on the streets at sundown goes directly to jail. These idiots haven't even called a State of Emergency and won't. Somebody's tender feeling might get bent out of shape if anyone actually tried to stop them from their fun burning/looting - as Madam Mayor said, they need their "space" for destruction. Poor babies.

Pretty much. If this was some of this other countries, the police would have gunned these idiots down. Supposedly, there was some plan to do a "purge" like the movie. Utterly ridiculous.
