In Baltimore, We’re All Freddie Gray
The New York Times ^ | APRIL 28, 2015 | D. WATKINS

BALTIMORE — AT the moment, what’s going on in Baltimore seems to be all about Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who was viciously attacked by police officers on April 12 more or less because he looked at them. They subdued him; his spine was nearly severed, his voice box was smashed and he was hauled off in a police van, even after he requested medical attention multiple times. He died a week later as result.

--SNIP--

Most of the protests were peaceful. The first acts of violence didn’t occur until after a nonviolent, if agitated, protest Saturday night at City Hall. From there, a group of protesters, including myself, marched to Camden Yards, where the Orioles were playing the Boston Red Sox. As we passed a strip of bars, a group of white baseball fans, wearing both Baltimore and Boston gear, were standing outside yelling, “We don’t care! We don’t care!” Some called us monkeys and apes. A fight broke out, and people were hurt.

Wow! Are you serious? The cops complained about having to write a police report when u were 10 and then made u lay down on a basketball court a few years later.

Burning the city of Baltimore and attacking whites is totally justified in that case.

Would you like a 6 pack of ice cold purple drank as reparations bro?

If your “voice box” is smashed, how do you ask for anything?

And you know what this guy is going to do every November, assuming he even votes. He is going to pull the lever for the same people who he complains about. The Baltimore Police Union is run by Democrats. Every government official in the city is a Democrat. The police chief is a Democrat, and probably signed every anti-NRA petition he could get his hands on. He gets taunted by people who in all probability voted for CoupDeVal and Granny Warren, because their pinky ringed union bosses told them to. The stupidity is so bad it burns. Would this jerk ever consider letting our side run things in the inner cities for a few years, maybe bring economic growth and better schools to his neighborhood. Yeah, you know the answer, never in a million years.

The author of this piece fails to mention the outside agitators who were carpooled into Baltimore. Marxist and anarchists, intent on race-mongering and most of the same ones as in Feguson. During the 1968 riots in Baltimore, outside agitators rode back and forth the Black neighborhoods in pick-up trucks distributing bricks to people, urging them to use the bricks to break windows of business and steal the contents. In Ferguson, Missouri rioting and Baltimore, the same group of outside agitators was buy organizing transportation and signs for so-called “protestors.’ Fox News reported that law enforcement analyzed who was sending the messages and determined that the same people organized both. Their job is to get the riots started and to sustain them. None f these riots is spontaneous. The organizers don’t live in those cities. Don’t believe this white wash so predictably published in the New York Times. Community organizers organize violence and they come from out of town to do so. These events were no more “spontaneous” than the orchestrated, planned rioting in Benghazi. Hillary Clinton, another Marxist who claims riots just happened spontaneously, is a soul sister to the Obama administration delighting in riots that are anything but spontaneous. The New York Times, at it again, tries to make rioters into offended angels.

What we have here is wide spread racism amongst black people (and their supporters). So a black person was harmed - you took as an attack on your race so you justify attacking whites who have nothing to do with the incident

If a person of my race was brutally attacked by the police, I don’t view it as an attack on my race, I view it as simple police brutality and demand justice for those people involved. I wouldn’t go around attack other people not involved with the incident

I’d think the desperate need to scream in agony would supersede verbal requests for anything.

I caught a forearm in the voice box when I was a kid, far from crushing it, and making any audible sound was nearly out of the question. It put me down good. Very hard to even breathe.
