The violent rioting has come around in part to the many people + media so desperate to turn every incident into a race issue.
Throw a bottle through a storefront and every uneducated socially awkward white dude on the internet turns into a sociology Ph. D.

But since you asked, child, why are blacks disproportionately poorer and more likely to grow up in higher crime areas? Think it through. Use that intellect.

Burning businesses seems counterproductive, imo. High poverty leads to crime and lack of businesses leads to poverty. Obviously the people doing the burning aren't thinking on that level, but still, making things better by making them worse doesn't feel like the right solution. It does make for great footage though.

Winter Night is coming and apparently the National Guard too

CNN going full Malaysian plane right now. Little sympathy for the rioters.

Burning businesses down could be the best thing to do if it ends up being the catalyst that brings the changes needed

the old methods didn't work

Go back to the mall looting, jeez. That was awesome. Who cares what the mayor has to say.

Baltimore mayor calling rioters thugs on live TV right now. I'm sure that will calm them down.

Lol, yeah, that CVS was going to be the end of black poverty, and the end of systemic racism after that. First you get the menial job, then you get the money to not quite be able to feed your family, then you get the power to end police oppression.

Killing people in the back of police vans seems pretty counterproductive as far as keeping the peace.

@rafsanchez doing actually reporting on the streets of Baltimore right now with Periscope. Not just live streaming news channels. Actually interviewing people.
04-27-2015 , 08:02 PM
live streaming without a space in between is censored?? What up with that?

Because historically, that's worked out so well, right?

What no one expected is what Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake admitted in a press conference on Sunday: that she asked the Baltimore Police Department to “give those who wished to destroy space to do that.”

The Baltimore mayor backs the mob against her own police.

There are plenty of poor, white neighborhoods in the US. Yet, it seems like the vast majority of unarmed people being killed by the police are black.
04-27-2015 , 08:08 PM
i was poking fun at fly's style, but there would be no need to burn down a CVS if cops weren't breaking spines for no reason.

Because they have been systematically abused and taken advantage of in America's history?

Use your intellect, child, and tell me what that has to do with the the individual officers in these cases?

I assume that black persons are more likely to be poor than white people and thus come into contact with the police more frequently than white persons thus the majority of these cases feature a black person.. ?

Black people somehow manage to not be 21x as likely to be poor compared to whites, but they are 21x as likely to be killed by cops.
