What a shame: if only the economy had been better, the rioters would have had more name-brand stores to burn.

What a shame there weren’t more national chain stores to burn in Baltimore.

Ping to Today show list.

Were the rioters too lazy to burn the stores at the mall?

That’s actually funny. Is the pastor a part time comic?

“Pastor” Jamal Bryant sounds like he wants to take over for “Rev” Al Sharpton, same mindset.

Supply and Demand:

"We demand more stores to burn!"
"Sorry, the supply done dried up."

Holy Cow. Sadly, he doesn’t get how ridiculous this statment makes him and the black community look.

What is taught in his church is really not taught in scripture now is it?
