War Zone: Baltimore Erupts Into Violence, Chaos as #BlackLivesMatter Riots Rage
Brietbart ^ | 4/25/2015 | Matthew Boyle

Racial protests supposed to be peaceful quickly turned into violent riots on Saturday evening, closing down the city of Baltimore for some time—and creating a panic for thousands of people as just 50 miles away elites in Washington partied with President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Personally, I wasn’t supposed to be on the job tonight as a reporter. After a long news week and as several of my contemporaries lived high on the hog down in D.C. at the so-called “Nerd Prom,” me and my brother left D.C. to go see our Boston Red Sox play the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards I hate the White House Correspondents’ Dinner—it represents everything I think is wrong with Washington, making celebrities out of news media and politicians—and given the fact I grew up just outside Boston I figured seeing the Red Sox play in Baltimore would be a great reprieve from the political culture. Boy was I wrong.

My brother and I arrived in Baltimore just outside Camden Yards about an hour before the game, and went into Bullpen Bar—one of three iconic all-brick building bars right outside the stadium—for a beer before the Sox took on the O’s. I usually make it up here for a game or two every year, and have always found Orioles fans to be pleasant...

Is this news because the white guy is landing a punch and the black guy is acting like the scared bully he is?

If this sort of stuff continues unabated until the world series is played...it may not be.

The African-American community is hurting their own cause by debacles like what happened last night.

Indeed, have you noticed that the ever since a short burst of protests from a number of NBA players, they're been silent since then? I think the likes of Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and other sponsors of professional sports told these athletes the protests were generating a LOT of negative publicity for the sponsors and they were effectively discouraged in private from any more protests.

"me and my brother left D.C. to go see our Boston Red Sox play the Baltimore Orioles"

This is a "journalist"?

Check out the guy on the far right in the black Sean John jersey with the backwards ball cap and the size 58 khaki shorts with like seven tall cans of Bud Light in front of him. Just chillin' and totally obvious to the scene around him!

Send another plate of wings to that dude!

Any “journalism” and “journalists” died years ago.

Remember that wonderful speech Obama gave at the DNC convention in 2004? No red states or blue states? Ebony and Ivory living in harmony? Yeah, me too.

Thanks for posting.

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries in his pocket.

It is only necessary, therefore, to recommend that full use be made of the resource; and to remark that, besides the direct benefit to be drawn from these artificial divisions, they will tend to smother the true and natural one, existing in all societies, between the few who are always impatient of political equality and the many who can never rise above it; between those who are to mount to the prerogatives and those who are to be saddled with the burdens of the hereditary government to be introduced - in one word, between the general mass of the people, attached to their republican government and republican interests, and the chosen band devoted to monarchy and Mammon. It is of infinite importance that this distinction should be kept out of sight. The success of the project absolutely requires it.

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

If we had sanity in the White House and the department of Justice, this **** wouldn’t be going on. Instead, our federal government fosters and encourages this anarchy in order to start a civil war. And the police are generally forbidden to arrest anyone doing the rioting.

Meanwhile, our congress doesn’t really care. If it did, there would be investigations and some people would be in jail.

We the People have no one to represent us in the White House or in congress. And forget the courts. They have been corrupted too.

America is headed for the abyss.

CNN is calling them “scuffles” that are “marring peaceful protests”...

That cracker needs to learn the rules of the knockout game. He’s supposed to just stand there and let the ‘Person of Color’ sucker punch him.
