Smashed, looted and burned by the mob: Inside the destruction of Baltimore as shopkeepers [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 28, 2015 | Daniel Bates and Ben Ashford

The full extent of the damage done by the violence and rioting in Baltimore is graphically revealed today. Dozens of shops, businesses and gas stations were burned and ransacked across the city as the streets were turned into a 'war zone'. Shopkeepers told Daily Mail Online that they fled in terror as looters rampaged in as they were still inside - and stole everything. A family of four had to flee their apartment above the liquor store they owned when it was set ablaze underneath them. And a gas station owner said that he had lost $50,000 after his ATM was looted and his store ransacked. Rajneesh Nagpal, 39, was furious that he had called the police 50 times but nobody came to help him.

Shopkeepers deserve it because of racism.

There’s more to that story that people need to know. Word is...

A great many of them were rounded up and criminally processed.
Thing is...they all switched guns around frequently during the event, ensuring nobody in particular could be linked with anything, and when arrested & interrogated NOBODY TALKED.

It wasn’t like they stood their ground and then went home with their toys when the show was over. Stakes were high, prosecution was attempted.

Sick people with their sick government simply cannot govern the negro. “There comes a time in the history of every people when they become so pathologically soft and tender that they actually side with those elements of their society that harms them; i.e. criminals.”

The police were told to stand down per the Mayor. Let them loot was the thinking process. It would eventually stop.

I still don’t understand why these business owners didn’t SHOOT TO KILL LOOTERS coming in to their stores?? Is Baltimore a Gun Free City?

I would have gotten rid of the white bandannas. Black is cooler and safer.

Should have used the Koren method of protection as was used during the LA riots. Worked just fine.

I read where one CVS store was new and was opened there after some kind of idiotic program to get more businesses to build there.
This program was initiated because businesses didn’t want to come in to that community. Too much liability.

That CVS was one of the first to get looted and burned to the ground. HAHAHAHA

Democrats welcome this destruction. It will be used to influence future elections for Democrats since the MSM will spin this to be a Republican fused problem.
