BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Protesters rallying Saturday say they are gathering to celebrate peace and stand up against police brutality.
Even some unlikely groups are joining forces in Baltimore to rally for justice, sparked by the police-custody death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.
WJZ’s Marcus Washington was able to meet and speak with gang members of the Bloods and Crips together.
“United is key. You’ve got to be a collective whole to try to sit there and make something happen. Just one can’t do it. Us being together is a better outlook in the whole situation,” one member said, wearing an “I Bleed Baltimore” t-shirt.

“I have a dream...”
What a sad, sorry fiasco all this is. I want to repost something I put on another thread this morning
Geraldo did a point / counterpoint type piece last night on Fox News. A black woman and a black man. The woman advocated for two parent homes and raising children to present as respectable human beings. She was articulate, clear and logical (talked white, I guess is the common parlance)
The man dismissed that... “can’t make that happen with a magic wand.” His solution was mentoring...getting fraternities and sororities (I infer these to be community organizations) to step in in loco parentis. His solution seemed to be anything BUT two parent families.
The woman pointed out how strange was the uproar over Freddie Gray in light of, I believe eight young black males being killed by black males in Baltimore in the past week. And that for the first time in history, the leading cause of 12 year old black males is murder.
It was a pretty good back and forth, except Gerry interrupted in the middle to run a different piece on rebuilding neighborhoods burned out in 1968. I believe I heard him say that she had been a caller on his radio show. She was awesome. One last thing I recall...She and her HUSBAND raised a son in NYC who had never been accosted, questioned, patted down or arrested. She stated that that raising included teaching their son to act as a respectable human being in the way he dressed, spoke and interacted with other human beings.
Getting thugs to be the proxy strong arm is as old as the hills. You can bet that someone in the Obama administration is the point person for this.
How many murders every year are the Bloods & Crips responsible for in Baltimore?
I would be akin to having Hezbollah, or HAMAS, or Abu Sayyef, or the Red Brigades on the ballot.
All they need is the police force to go away. This is the point.
2 separate gang killing verdicts in a day?
Gang member found guilty in triple shooting (2 dead, 1 attempted murder)

Quite list that is.
Blood and Crisps to unite...now many black youth were killed during their war against each other?
The only upside to gang wars is that they regularly thin out the population that is stupid enough to join one of them.
I do not want criminal enterprises like Crips and Bloods somehow slumping towards the murky label of "community organizers."
Well in a sane world they would be acquitted because I think there is absolutely zero evidence which is why this grandstanding joke of an attorney Marilyn Mosby was repeatedly talking about Gray “not wearing his seat belt”. If that’s the best evidence she has then she has absolutely no case whatsoeve. But since we are talking about “justice” being dealt out by black racists here, so racist that they are willing to destroy the lives of 3 black cops just to get to “whitey”, then I would say these cops will be railroaded no matter what.
