I’ve never understood, going back to the big riots of the ‘60s, how exactly rioting is some understandable reaction to whatever grievances are felt by the black community.
Does anyone really thing that this allegedly understandable justifiable rage is helping their cause? Does anyone really believe that this helps the public image of blacks, of young black men, the black community in general? Does any of this counter the stereotypes of blacks as criminals and out of control feral people??? Does any of this put forward some positive message of people working to overcome alleged hardship? Does a riot really accomplish anything?
If past is prologue, we may see these riot zones in Baltimore still looking like bombed out war zones ten years from now.
Can’t stand that liberal sissy.
Shep was channeling Bill Clinton by claiming that he had seen equally bad race riots in his boyhood home of Dung Heap, Mississippi.
RRRRIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHHTTTTT!!!!!
Both of my parents grew up dirt poor during the Great Depression. Neither of them participated in riots or looting. In fact, history shows that large-scale rioting and/or looting did not occur during that period.
I am so sick of this pandering “African-American” tag they put on BLACK rioters. They aren’t African anything except some unproven lineage most can’t trace, nor want to.
The second point is that anyone thinking they aren’t all blacks there rioting. Just show me of a picture of some white guy or girl running out of CVS with something in their hands.
There isn’t a social stake here; it is about wanting something for nothing fueled by the words and deeds of a President and Administration that refuses to prosecute them for anything, opting to go after those who are their victims instead blaming them. QueerBoy Shep is just one of their enablers. Disgusting.
Shepard remains Ailes number one mistake.
Only difference no is, George W. Bush no longer is President, so whom can the limp wrist point his finger at now?
Good on Greg.
I thought the Mayor was a woman?
Shep got so defensive when Greg asked where the parents are? What did CVS do to the people of Baltimore.
Bet they couldn't name more than three African countries, outside of maybe South Africa.
If anyone was watching live you saw men standing in front of the police,they were Religious leaders.One was a Catholic priest with his collar on.Shep said one in religious attire-he couldn’t cough out the words Catholic Priest.You could see the parish down the street.He hasn’t changed a bit from New Orleans.Pull him off the air.

Having been through some of the race riots of the '60s in Rochester, NY, I can say that it was Johnson's "Great Society" and the assertions that told the Blacks they were victims and needed government "help" that turned them around from being well on their way to successful and prosperous integration to the mess we have today. In the '50s, the Blacks were starting to buy homes in better and better neighborhoods and were appreciative of their increasing standards of living. The Left saw that and decided to step in and put them back on the proverbial plantation and now they build the plantation walls ever higher, while rioting and howling that they are being held against their will - even as they refuse to step out into the light.
Media is all over this handing victory to their darling Shep
Just look how Google stacks search results in lefts favor
This is but another way the Left controls the flow of knowledge better and more insidious than any Soviet commissar
Cant stand that liberal sissy.
Same here. He’s almost as bad as Whoraldo.
I read on twitter that Baltimore beg CVS to build one there and it was fairly new.Haven’t had time to research it.
I doubt there have ever been race riots in tiny Holly Springs MS which is halfway between Oxford and Memphis
Shep is channeling his feeling of being rejected as a dandy in a very conservative state
