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...

And which society would that be?
The society of Democrat President Barak Obama?
The society of Democrat Governor Martin O'Malley (last 8 years, all O'Malley)?
The society of Democrat Mayor [and Maximum Nitwit] Stephanie Rawlings-Blake?
Which society, exactly, has refused young blacks in Baltimore any help?
Our liberal politicians are using the black community to drive a political narrative. The black people who were sucked into doing illegal acts will have criminal records and destroyed lives. But the liberals don’t care and never have cared. Blacks are just tools they use to get more power. I hope poor blacks wake up someday.
Being a LIB is a hate crime against civilization and against logic.
“In other words, the looters and arsonists were pushed to the breaking point by racism, poverty”
Perhaps we should start giving them freebies from Uncle Sam...or better yet let many of them vote twice in elections. Oh, wait a minute, we’ve tried that.
>> “combination of anger and disparity,”
Yeah, here’s one such disparity:
The po-po are working stiffs that get up and go to work every day and night, Sundays and holidays included.
Whereas the thugs...
As for the anger, tell you who ought to be angry enough to riot... the hardworking longsuffering taxpayers of that hellhole and its surrounding state. But such men and women of character don’t do riots.

It isn't a breakdown. It is a deliberate destruction by liberals everywhere.
Until we restore the nuclear family that has existed in all of recorded history, there isn't enough money in the Universe to fix anything else.
After we restore the family, the money needed to fix Baltimore will be less than pocket change.
The society being forced on Americans by lying, murdering, traitorous Demonicrats.
Excuses? How about lazy, indolent people who want to break stuff and steal things?
Post of the day!
Leftism, under all of its brand names, is a hate crime.
Whenever this sort of thing happens, the liberals know how to use the chain of after-effects to keep whipping up an ever-greater frenzy.
When the guy gets shot, of course it’s spun by the media that the cops maliciously did it. When they won’t comment because it’s day two of the investigation, the libs cry, “Coverup!! They’re refusing to answer questions!!” Then bogus charges get filed by a liberal prosecutor, which validate what the rioters have been saying and inflames them even more. It’s no wonder that the city is on fire inside of 3 days.
Then 6 months later when the charges get dismissed or the jury acquits because the case was so weak to begin with, the rioters start right where they left off. Lots of people look for any excuse under the sun to get angry, throw bricks, and set things on fire. Their reasons don’t even have to be negative, they do it when their home team wins the Superbowl, too. It’s disgusting how they get treated with the kid gloves at every turn, evidenced by thousands rioting and a token dozen getting arrested.
You're mad at the cops and your city's government so your solution is to steal from and destroy your neighbors' business who have NOTHING TO DO with your problem.
Logic of the hopelessly stupid.
And yet, somehow, a black person getting killed by white cops generates this amount of anger, to the point of the destruction of their own backyards. Talk about crapping where you lay your head! Even animals have enough sense not to do that! It makes no sense to the thinking, to the logical and to those who employ common sense. I’m black and it makes no sense to me whatsoever!
But Skillet killing Hambone or Pookie shooting Boo doesn’t generate this level of outrage because it doesn’t fit the agenda of liberals. And blacks still can’t see that they are being played like a Stradivarius.
This president that they practically worship has done absolutely NOTHING for them, in terms of job creation, protections, or finding them that elusive “justice and peace” they are always whining about. Look at what this man has done for the homosexuals. It lists like fifteen-page report! Look at what he’s willing to do for liberal Hispanics (I had to make the distinction because not all Hispanics support his actions on “executive amnesty”); he whips out his pen like it’s nothing to legalize the illegal invaders in the name of pandering to this group.
But blacks? *snorts* Don’t make me laugh. He does nothing but rebuke black men for not stepping up and being fathers to their children, tells blacks folks to “take off the slippers” and stop complaining about him and get to work for him, like they owe it to him. And when something like Sanford, FL, Ferguson, MO or Baltimore, MD comes up, he finds the time to chime in, to stoke the flames. But actually instituting policies that would fix their neighbors, create jobs, and solve their problems, nah! It’s off to the golf course. He knows he doesn’t have to do a thing for them because he knows he and his party will always have their support.
And speaking of his party, they give their allegiance to, to the tune of over 95%, have been running these big cities and they are still out their whining about “no justice, no peace”?!
Give me a break!
Well said.
If the Right dares show up on street corners with signs, no profanity, and addressing anti-Constitutional activity, they are labeled terrorists.
If the Left riots in the streets, loots businesses, breaks windows, sets fires, and destroys blocks of local infrastructure, they are explained to be people using reasoned expressions of disapproval.
BOOOOSH”s fault.
“This was an extremely, desperately poor city.”
Full of iPhones, Air-Jordans, gold bling, air-conditioning, nice cars, designer hair styles, fashion clothing, etc....
Libs often make excuses for poor decision making, blaming the consequences on something or someone else. There is no good excuse for being a liberal.
What's taking so long?
In the 1960s the MSM employees said it was not looting.. it was a form of the layaway plan owing to the fact that evil white merchants were overcharging for everything. The items had been paid for already.
Come on, MSM employees, get with it!
Excellent Point !
