Violent standoff of baltimore protesters

[Damp]

[Ad Bot]

[Cantaloupe]

We should let this die

I will tell you this: many of these thugs came from a box, and now they'll be returning to a box once again. Anyone get it?

and the circlejerking begins

Before you fools make judgments and decisions based on what you see, try reading up more on what led to the situation. I haven't yet, so I refuse to release my uninformed and biased opinion on the matter. You all should do the same. Misinformation is seriously the key to destruction.

So should we look past the fact that a CVS store was burned down, dozens upon dozens of mom and pop shops were looted and broken into, and cops and firefighters were assaulted?

uh, if you want to actually solve the problem instead of just pushing it to the side, yeah.

start thinking instead of giving into obvious emote-bait like that stuff image with the three girls and the black man (which you still haven't admitted was wrong, by the way.)

[Tayasaurus]

you seem very hateful and unpleasant.

I'm very angry and upset that you'd be so generalistic. There are victims on both sides and you make it seem so terribly one sided.

Being sick of rioting isn't wrong and there is no reason for you to target people who hold that view.

At least describe to us what problem needs to be solved. What I posted wasn't bait, I was showing everyone what is going on. Should I filter out the black man so you don't think it is tribal? What do you want from me?

Nothing that he said was wrong. The only victims here are the people who have lost their businesses, and the police officers severely injured by these criminal bottom-feeders.

uh, the fact that racism still exists in our society? it's only bee 40 years since jim crow and widespread segregation, and the generation that grew up and matured during that time is still around. if you think there's no racism in our society at best you're stupid and at worst you're intentionally dishonest.

secondly, i want you to not FALSELY IDENTIFY IT it as "oh my god it's a black man stealing something from white girls" like you obviously did in your original post.

pretty sure that's what she's saying
she's sick and tired of peaceful protests turning into riots

I'm not even sure how to dissect this because you literally went off on him based on your own dumb assumption about what he was saying.

So what made it okay for you to target someone who holds a different view?

really? cus it seems like you're pretty quick to generalize the plight of african americans fighting for their rights:

Another riot over a racial issue. I'm shocked there isn't riots over black people dying from old age against death.

hey i'm sick of rioting as well - although i'm a little more sick of men being gunned down for minor offenses.

sucks that your pharmacy has to pay 500 bucks to repair a window. meanwhile someone died who shouldn't have.

Meanwhile, here are some eye-catching photographs:

Are you really going there? It has been fifty one years since segregation and Jim Crow Laws. That has absolutely nothing to do with this, it is over with and you cant keep droning on about it, it is over with and it has been over with for five decades. History has to be acknowledged, however at a certain point -- you have to realize that it is a free society today. Racism exists everywhere, toward every group. Black people aren't the only ones subject to racism, whites, Asians and Hispanics are as well.

I never said that there was no racism in society. I never even brought up segregation, what's your problem? I don't know what that has to do with this issue, it was suppose to be about an adult who did not get to the hospital in time. I don't know why you are bringing up my past either, as I never said anything that was tribal. If I did, you can quote me and I will respond.

I misinterpreted then, I apologize. It didn't seem like it though.

Another update on the unfolding stuffstorm: A massive building has gone up in flames in east baltimore; as in a large building has just become a victim of arson considering that stuff almost never happens.

Nobody seems to be able to look loving beyond skin color and that's what i'm furious about.

I feel like the majority of rioters are only angry because someone white shot someone black. Are they REALLY fighting for their rights do they even know what they are fighting FOR? are they just fighting off of the spur of the moment? Meanwhile there's a ton of other crimes out there that deserve just the same IF NOT MORE of the same coverage this is getting. Everyone is getting hurt and i loving hate that.
