Author Topic: Riots! (Read 26088 times)

I could b naive but i don't think the anger and tension is really as much the media and rioters want us to believe. I think a lot of it is kids and punks who get a kick out of rioting and being part of something "revolutionary"

Def. Seems most of the people out there just need any excuse to act in such a manner. I feel bad for those that would have liked to protest in a correct manner... They're so silenced by what's going on.

Do you feel this is getting close to blowing up like when MLK was shot?

Reminds me of this:

Not too far. Too close for comfort

The rioting is just an excuse to loot. Sad that it detracts from the true message

That some people in the police force abuse their power.

It more than that. It's that people in the Black community feel targeted and feel that they have no avenue fo recourse.

The harbor was loaded with a strong NG and LEO presence today. I got a few pictures I'll upload later.

don't get me wrong. I'm all for the downfall of these animals. especially someone like freddie grey who was arrested 40 times in his 25 year life span. just make sure you have the facts of the case (apparently jumping from a high fence during a police chase CAN cause spinal injury).

There are more than enough cases of police brutality with non-blacks, but the reason why the blacks are protesting is because, like you said, they feel targeted and (possibly) believe that there were ulterior motives in these deaths (ie. racism).
