Baltimore Erupts into Wild Violence and Chaos

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.

Calypso Louie guys have some studly duds....

(I stayed at a motel near I65 south of Montgomery Alabama a few years ago. Unknown to me Calypso Louie was giving a speech nearby the next day. It was a little weird to see all the folks dressed like that at the breakfast buffet)

The pic is long gone now, but in 2008, I saw—and looked at for the longest time—a pic of Obama on the tarmac at the Canada airport, when he went up there to talk oil and who knows what. He was flanked on each side by 4 NOI foot soldiers. All black, of course. All in suits.

My husband is watching it on Youtube right now. It is unbelievable. They were taking trash cans and throwing them through the windows where people were eating dinner. It is insane violence. Grabbing purses out of women's hands.

Not in this case.
The police created this one.

As these videos surface, seemingly now on a weekly basis, of what clearly appear to look like extrajudicial killings of blacks by police officers, I am forced to face the uncomfortable realization that perhaps there is justification for the anger that is exploding here.

I see our law enforcement increasingly heading in the direction of Brazil or Columbia, places where petty criminals of the underclass are rounded up in the dead of night by balaclava-wearing police, thrown into the back of vans, and never heard from again.

re: the challenged black communities.

In my adventures in inner city substitute teaching, where ever I went 75% - 95% of the students were wonderful, respectful, and wanted to learn. A very big problem is that many blacks have bought into the great con, which has been going on since the busing riots of 1968. That is that black students with positive leadership potential and ambition would have to leave their local public school to get a decent education. It left a void filled by negative leadership (parents and kids left behind) and in too many cases administrations that pandered to the least desirable elements in their school environment, making excuses for them and excusing their bad behavior.

In spite of all that, many students had a clear vision toward their futures, followed it, learned, and are excellent human beings.

The positive elements in the black community have to speak up. Are there some outrageous cases of police abuse of power? Yes. But they should go through the courts. Want to solve things? Community policing including foot patrols. Stand up to the jerks.

I miss the teaching part of what I was doing. This is my second year of not substituting. But I'm not one for the pandering and excuses and games. And it was getting uncomfortable with some elements in the communities becoming less reasonable and less geared toward positive outcomes.

What are black layers? Or is it lawyers?
Is it ‘nation of i*lam’ or ‘national of i*lam’?

No police officer should have to handle that crap

Right. They should only have to dish it out. Not take it.

If the police don’t instigate it, they shouldn’t have to take it.

In this case, they fully earned what they are getting.

“National of Islam”?

Was that a typo or just another group?

If Iran gets the nuke capabilities they seek, one blast over Washington DC should seal them in, or flush them out. When that happens, gubmint “officials” will be like nazies in 1945, change clothes and identities, hide under rocks.

“I hope that when crap hits the fan that people won’t rush to act against someone simply based on appearance.”

Yes, I agree, but you know there will be some of that.

Thomas Sowell for President. (Again.)

“I watched the video, and it looks like his neck was snapped before he was dragged into the van.”

Deliberately? Was he resisting violently?

I think its started out as a neck sprain. if the stories about people being transported without being buckled into a seat are true, it probably wouldn’t take much to turn a cocked/tilted head into a broken neck
