We live in an age of sensationalism. We find ourselves in an era where every headline has to grab your attention, regardless of its substance in order to generate your digital patronage.
That’s the news industry in which we live.
I’m hoping this can cut through that.
To the looters, to the vandals, the felons, the people in Baltimore (and elsewhere) ruining this great Republic of ours: before you call me a racist, before you call me insensitive… understand that to use both would be an oxymoron.
It is my complete lack of any interest in your race, background, gender, personal beliefs and/or struggles that makes me an insensitive jerk. I accept that. It also makes me incapable of discrimination. You are animals. If you are able to destroy the home or business of your neighbor, you’ve lost your humanity. If you are able to harm your fellow man...

Thank you for an excellent article! You stated how many feel witnessing the darkness today’s feral behavior bodes. Humanity strived for generations to improve the fortune of our collective “selves’, but today has demonstrated that we have far to go.
All good comedy has a lot of truth to it ;)
Over at DU they’re excited about Orioles CEO John Angelos statement that this is the fault of outsourcing our jobs to the Third World. Maybe Scott Walker will get some Democrat votes out of this ;-) That’s as likely as the DU tribe turning in their iPhones to protest Apple’s use of Chinese labor.
Well said. I am afraid you’re right.
Well said.
Bump that!!
Works every time it's needed.
Is that the same CNN reporter who said (when asked why these people are burning down the CVS in their own neighborhood) started yammering about how it broke his heart that he didn’t see any place selling fresh fruit in the neighborhood?
The same! He did an excellent job of reporting the facts on the ground.
It’s rare to see a reporter spend a week in a vicinity and actually learn what’s going on.
None of the looters are going to read that. Many of them cant read to begin with.
He punted though on the “why are they doing this” question.
“I’m heartbroken that there are no places to buy fresh fruit.”
The older lady with the long grey dreadlocks was an interesting on the spot interview. Typical mentally deranged answers that completely contradicted, but she was interesting.
Well, those are some interesting, and curious, take-aways on your part.
Others, I am confident, will give the people being interviewed a fair-minded hearing and learn for themselves the reasons for the riot.
Your 84% statistic is bogus and you should stop using it.
Hillary tweeted about... bumper stickers
I only watched about ten minutes of it, but I do think my that the heartbreak over the lack of fresh fruit was a little bizarre.
You don’t have fresh fruit so it’s ok to burn down the neighborhood?
I am confident that is NOT why the CVS was looted and burned. The CVS was looted because criminally minded individuals wanted what was in there. And then some maladjusted individual set it on fire.
On the other hand, I have seen with my own eyes mothers feeding their kids Pop-Tats and Sunny Delight for breakfast and a bag of pork rinds and cheap soda for lunch.
Why? Because that is what the stores in their neighborhood sell for food. (At grossly inflated prices I might add).
Would the mothers give their kids a nectarine instead if they could? That I don’t know.
I’m not surprised that Mr. New York reporter was “heartbroken” though — he’s probably never gone a day in his life without healthy food.
Correction
Homicide
According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and “Other” 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white homicide victims murdered by whites, and 93% of black victims murdered by blacks
Pork rings are a pretty good lunch though.... :-)
They are definitely a well worn and aged wrinkle on the body of America.
There’s a cream for that, right?
