To entertain the citizens of Rome, circular arenas – circuses -- were built to house staged events of various sorts, including the slaughter of Christians. After Rome fell, itinerant performers took their shows on the road offering somewhat less grand, but still popular, entertainments.
In the United States for the past few years the traveling inner city riots seem to be playing the same role with their own stock characters.
There are young men who died in the course of criminal acts, portrayed at first by the media as innocent children who later turn out to have extensive rap sheets; the cops brought to the scene for gladiatorial type contests with stone throwing mobs; the press chasing, and sometimes by their presence and words, encouraging the staged battles; and an army of pundits seeing in the chaos whatever visions they project onto it. In the rear of the tent organizing the events are leftwing agitators, Black Muslims, and anarchists who show up with preprinted T-shirts and placards and plaintiffs’ counsels and race baiters stirring the pot for their share of whatever settlements they can get for representing the aggrieved family (who generally seem not to have paid much attention to the deceased when he lived). The referees are local officials too often swayed by the mob's call for blood. Instead of Christians, the sacrifices are small merchants, often Korean or Jewish, who eke out meager livings providing services to the underserved poor and the decent citizens of those communities whose lives are upended and slim resources diminished. Another sacrifice is the weakening of the communal bonds of trust and respect for law that make America work and the increased likelihood of ever more urban violence.
Like the Brown, Martin, and Garner riots before them, the Baltimore riots follow this program.

It does seem so.
Go ahead...tread on me. See how that works out...
I have heard reports extensively of people bussed in for the riots. The number 1 question the news should be reporting is, bussed if from where? Number 2 would be, who organized and paid for the buses and people on them? Number 3, why? Number 4, what is the reason, and who benefits?
The officers are thrown to the lions. The mob exploded in a paroxysm of irrational jubilation. A Che Guevara style kangaroo court will judge the accused policemen - according to mob law, no more innocent until proven guilty. Four of the six accused officers are the ones charged with manslaughter. Of those 4, three are Blacks and one is White. Their heads will be presented to the mobs in a silver plate to placate the rabble of noisy angry thugs.
“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life.” Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan
Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the root causes of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.
Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.
Why the Baltimore riots, looting and destruction of their own Black neighborhoods? Did the Blacks doubted for a moment that the Black establishment in control of Baltimore will fail to condemn the officers to the highest penalty allowed by Law?
Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.
Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama does not want unity. He wants to keep the country as polarized and disoriented as possible. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power. According Alinisky’s tactics adopted by Obama, change has to be brought through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.
David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.
What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.
Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral? Did our condolences in chief has ever called the parents of so many Whites killed by Blacks?
As Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said : Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore.
Soros is paying for this through left-wing and other radical organizations.
I couldn’t agree more. 0bama, his handlers and many Dems couldn’t be happier.
There is a sucker born every minute. Great article.
ClariceI assume you will agree with this....THE FBI?......roflmao... Obamas Justice Dept? They are highly likely in the loop as this serves their purposes.
And don’t forget number 5:
Why does the government not investigate the busing in of rioters? Could it be that our Government perhaps has an agenda?
The George Soros Rent-A-Mob, and various Marxist inspirted labor unions hire people to do this.
Beneficiaries? LIEberals, Labor Unions, One-Worlders; people who hate America, racists, etc., etc.
I said when this started that it’s street theater, just like the Moslem demonstrations-of-outrage, complete with the flags of whatever country they’ve been told to hate today. They can’t get toilet paper, but they can get flags of Denmark?
Useful idiots, cannon fodder.
Well said, it’s exactly what they are.
If they were able to eliminate everyone they’ve been told is oppressing them, what would they eat?
They would eat the crumbs of what they provided for the masters who are manipulating them right now.
Doesn’t anyone read history anymore? Don’t they realize this has all happened before, many times?
Clarice needs more commas and/or semicolons.
