Allen Bullock, 18, was on front page of local paper smashing up a car He posted the photo on his Facebook with a message for Freddie Gray But when his stepfather saw the paper he told him to turn himself in Now, however, his family regrets the move as he faces 8 years in jail

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.

"smashing up cars with traffic cone?"

The effete in journalism--so technically inclined.

Apparently the majority of rioters were let out because the police paperwork was not completed within 48 hours. I don’t think he’ll have to worry - everyone is being given a pass.

If you can’t do the time, then don’t do the crime.

Some caring mothers slap their errant rioting sons upside the head and take them home.

Others pretend to “do the right thing” and then do a “Democratic walk back” when it get’s real.

Up on Virginia’s Eastern Shore (US 13) there’s a store at the border with Maryland named “Dixieland.” The sign says on the north side “The south starts here” and on the south side “The south ends here.” It’s as far north as I want to go.

High bail means he probably won’t get out before court. Boo hoo!

As far as 8 years—not going to happen. He’ll plead out to time served and be on parole. Look at Mr. Gray’s record—how many felonies and still on the streets?!

They want kids “in the system” so they can justify their paychecks for the most part.

Right. My paperboy broke my front door window years ago. He paid for it. I felt and he felt it was only right.
