BALTIMORE, Maryland — Racial protests supposed to be peaceful quickly turned into violent riots on Saturday evening, closing down the city of Baltimore for some time—and creating a panic for thousands of people as just 50 miles away elites in Washington partied with President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Personally, I wasn’t supposed to be on the job tonight as a reporter. After a long news week and as several of my contemporaries lived high on the hog down in D.C. at the so-called “Nerd Prom,” me and my brother left D.C. to go see our Boston Red Sox play the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards I hate the White House Correspondents’ Dinner—it represents everything I think is wrong with Washington, making celebrities out of news media and politicians—and given the fact I grew up just outside Boston I figured seeing the Red Sox play in Baltimore would be a great reprieve from the political culture. Boy was I wrong.

The usual smash and grab, I expect.
Apparantly wild violence an chaos.
I`m not familiar with the case, but read that there are protests over a cop killing a suspect.
It’s about that guy they loaded into the police van who later died with severe spinal injuries.
Other than that, I haven’t followed it too closely.
(Sorry, I just realized I had posted only the front page from a few minutes ago.)
How dare they hold a riot on the night of Correspondent’s Dinner! OBVIOUSLY they didn’t coordinate any approved memes first, so they have no right to riot when The Media have more important business to do.
Race war
Violent riots?
As opposed to peaceful riots, I suppose.
Apparently Obama has accomplished what Charlie Manson only dreamed of.
How come we don’t shoot rioters any more?
“Omar coming.”
Omar’s dead.
Not to sound racist, but the only thing protecting the blacks from whitey is the police. Take away the cops, and well I’ll let u figure it out.
I bet the sale of firearms for protection is going to spike again. In the age of Obama, one has to protect family from feral “youts” running around who know that their criminal activities will not be punished.
Obama doesn’t like The Beatles, he likes Parliament Funkadelic and now he’s one of them or at least he thinks he is.
Yep. This IS Helter Skelter.
Social Justice in action...
No idea, but in this political atmosphere of 2016 politics, I'd say it's the governor's fault.
Congratulations,,CNN you’ve created another riot. You scum!
Heard that the folks who attended the Boston/Baltimore baseball game had to stay put for their safety.
