The apologetics began almost as soon as the fires were lit in Baltimore yesterday, heralding a night of violence and looting that would leave 24 police officers injured and 19 buildings torched, including a $16 million senior center providing affordable housing and a CVS drugstore providing crucial medications for elderly customers.
Society “refuses to help [young blacks] in a serious fashion,” Michael Eric Dyson announced on MSNBC. “We’re only there when they riot.” Mika Brzezinski observed on “Morning Joe”: “This was an extremely, desperately poor city. This was bound to happen.”
We were seeing an “uprising of young people against the police,” the result of a “combination of anger and disparity,” said professional talking head Wes Moore.
Neill Franklin, a former Baltimore police officer and member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, blamed the drug laws.
In other words, the looters and arsonists were pushed to the breaking point by racism, poverty and police brutality, the latter exemplified by the death of Freddie Gray in police custody...
Bunk. What happened last evening in Baltimore was simply a larger and better-covered version of the flash mobs that have beset American cities for the last half-decade, in which black youths gather via social media to steal from stores and assault whites.
In May 2012, for example, students from Mervo High School in Northeast Baltimore crammed into a 7-Eleven store that was offering free Slurpees as a promotion.
The teens grabbed all the merchandise they could get their hands on — $6,000 worth in total — and fled from the store. The manager tried to close the door to prevent the thieves from escaping and was viciously beaten.
On St. Patrick’s Day that same year, a flash mob converged on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor...

liberal motto- Doesn’t matter if the cop did nothing wrong po was black in a city run by blacks—let’s reward racial temper tantrums and violence.
I used to think liberals were well intentioned but misguided. Now I know better. they are not. Not even close.
The vast majority of Baltimore’s black residents have had nothing to do with the rioting and looting.
In fact, the vast majority of Baltimore’s black residents spend their lives cowering in their homes afraid to go outside and be confronted by the same violent black hoodlums who have perpetrated the riots and who daily commit black-on-black crimes as a normal part of their lifestyle.
So for liberals like Mika Brzinski to lump all blacks together as angry, violent individuals who can’t control themselves from burning down CVS outlets because they haven’t received sufficient social services is not only completely false but is also the worst kind of anti-black racial profiling.
Why is it any worse for a police officer to stop a black man on the street on the theory that all black men are inherently criminals than for Mika Brzinski to promote that very theory every day by attributing Baltimore’s riots to blacks in general because society has somehow let them down?
Well-stated, FRiend.
Inciteful comment, excellent point, dead-on-balls-accurate.
Violent methods (shooting, skull-cracking) are the only things the thugs understand. Without overwhelming force applied against the thugs, things will only get worse.
Just got back from the gun show. Whitey is scared and pissed. Watch what happens in the South when this type of thing happens. They say there is no militia down here, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Do you think liberals would be making excuses for Americans rioting over violations of the U.S. Constitution?
Memo to Black Men-Want help? Go to school to learn, not socialize or terrorize others. Learn to read. You might hate the classics as they were written by some white dude ages ago, but one day you may need to read and follow instructions. Avoid brushes with the law. If they don’t shoot you, you may learn that some crimes prevent bonding or employment. Employers don’t want to discriminate against you, but a criminal record limits their options. Set chronological goals and remain focused on them. Sometimes doing things out of order, like early parenthood, can hamper or prevent meeting goals. Don’t expect to live on handouts of public assistance. Others have more than you because they work and save. The key to escaping dependence lies within you. Want more, and be willing to put forth the effort to achieve.
Liberals are THUGS!
Americans self organize militias almost instantly.
Blacks mostly eschew getting an education as “acting white,” so they enter the work force with few or no job skills. Thanks to the blacks’ “messiah,” OhVomit, illegals are now flooding into this country and taking those jobs away. Too bad blacks are unable to see how they’re being played by their own silly beliefs and by their collective “messiahs.”

TWENTY TWO MILLION MILLION DOLLARS.
Now STHU.
The left has supported this attitude because they use them and their culture as a foil against traditional Western (Christian) culture.

Create the problem, ignore the facts, over bloat the issues, provide a worthless solution to gain more power.

I would agree with that.
Sorry we couldn't make it, but we did send money.
