The mother of a rioter says she regrets telling her son to turn himself in.
Allen Bullock, 18, appeared on the front page of the Baltimore Sun last Sunday, smashing a car windscreen with a traffic cone. It was two days before a state of emergency was declared in the Maryland capital to control riots.
After seeing the newspaper, Bullock's stepfather Maurice Hawkins told him he had to 'do the right thing' and contacted police.
But now, with Bullock's bail set at $500,000 and the threat of eight years in jail, his family has wavered in their conviction.

He’s alive.
He’ll get a break by virtue of turning himself in. He probably won’t even get any jail time if he doesn’t have any serious priors.
WAIT A SECOND!!! Look like dat dude be wearin’ work boots, an not Air Jordens or sum udder kinda cooool several hunnert doller sneakers.
Yoofs playing knockout king and physically assaulting and injuring people. As in you are in a wheelchair for a year, have to have your teeth reconstructed, have $50,000 in medical bills.......... THROW THE BOOK AT THEM! and make them pay restitution.
This idiot only damaged property so restitution is in order with no outs
No kidding. What do child molesters get? 6 months? Nothing in some cases?
He broke it in a riot. He should have been shot dead along with the rest of the rioters. White, black or otherwise. Their lives are NOT worth the rule of law getting flushed.
I agree.
IF he has no prior record.
Boston has extensive harbor attractions. The tourists will go up there and bypass thugsville Baltimore
Halifax Nova Scotia is looking good too!
Timberlines. Old school hip hop fashion.
Hey, wasn’t this within his rights under the “space to destroy”? What’s the beef?
The key here is did he assault or injure someone? Not that I know of. Did he burn down a few businesses like other rioters?
He created say 5000$ property damage so make him pay for it and give him a few months sentence and probation
I’ve only been to Baltimore once....(15 years ago)..and it was at night to the Inner Harbour for a special dinner at a railroad museum.....(with a group of engineers) and we took a side trip to visit Edgar Allen Poe’s grave...(which was creepy anough)
I would not do that now.....even though a favorite restaurant (which I have visited again) is somewhat near....and has a reputation for the best crab cakes ever!
Pay for it how? With what job?
a mere fly in the ointment!!! :)
Thats what DDT is for.
I get that people don’t think this is death penalty stuff but there is a reason the laws on books from ancient times were designed to put down riots hard.
This POS and 50,000 of his buddies just did billions in damage and beat disabled people. Now that they were bubblewrapped instead of machinegunned, the nexyt one will be worse. And the next worse still.
Eventually my house and your house will be ground zero. And our families will be beaten, raped and killed because we were too cowardly to enforce our own riot laws.
We had planned on visiting the aquarium again. But we ain’t goin there. I think we will go further south to Appomattox Court House.
Rot in prison you savage beast.
