Racial protests supposed to be peaceful quickly turned into violent riots on Saturday evening, closing down the city of Baltimore for some timeand 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 wasnt 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 Dinnerit represents everything I think is wrong with Washington, making celebrities out of news media and politiciansand 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.
My brother and I arrived in Baltimore just outside Camden Yards about an hour before the game, and went into Bullpen Barone of three iconic all-brick building bars right outside the stadiumfor a beer before the Sox took on the Os. I usually make it up here for a game or two every year, and have always found Orioles fans to be pleasant...

Facts aren’t “racist.”
“...I wasnt supposed to be on the job tonight as a reporter...me and my brother left D.C. to go see our Boston Red Sox...”
“Me and my brother”???
Doesn’t sound like he is ever on the job as a reporter writing like that. How did “education” fail to instill the most rudimentary basics?
Your theory is that because the cops killed a guy, the greater society should tolerate the behavior of animals? They got their troubles, I have mine. I don't give a rat's ass about theirs.
Looks like he was in pain from the initial takedown.
Good! All cities are RAT controlled, they desperately deserve it.
Yeah, he’s not going anywhere. lol
Okay, here’s a fact for you. There are neighborhoods where blacks and whites (and Hispanics and Asians) live side by side. And the property values do NOT go down.
Oh did you ever nail it, Mess!
That thought has never occurred to me, but you are obviously a genius!
What a keen insight.
Note tagline.
Good Lord, I drove through Baltimore yesterday, must have just missed this.
If, as it seems to appear so far, the victim's death was a serious travesty, then justice is required.
While I agree with your comment, I must admit an observation occurs to me. I don't believe my observation is racist, yet I imagine it would be considered so.
One is given to wonder why white people aren't rioting and retaliating against blacks when a white person is crippled or murdered by a black knockout attack, which is 100% racially inspired, everyone knows it to be so and it probably happens more frequently than white police killing a black man.
Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean that people should be posting racist cartoons.
They got their troubles, I have mine. I don't give a rat's ass about theirs.
But, in this case, their troubles ARE your troubles, even if you don't realize it. Abusive policing should be troubling to anyone.
Of course your observation is not racist (and, of course, there are some who would portray it as racist).
That said, your observation misses the point. The difference between "knockout-game" type attacks and police abuses is that the former are crimes carried out by private citizens, while the latter are carried out by police officers, acting in their capacity as agents of the state. That is, or should be, troubling to anyone and everyone - black, white, hispanic, asian, whatever.
Riots = we win big in 2016
Plus, these cities brought it on themselves, I have no pity for them.
Baltimore police appear to like administering extra-judicial punishments. They need to get fired. Not put on "administrative leave", but FIRED and prosecuted.
Sure. Middle-class blacks are no problem. The problems come from the feral underclass.
Yes and yes. Wasn't me that went out to create a rioting evil that takes attention away from the misconduct of the cops. Having said that, in a city of over a million people, it's not the cops that keep my head on a swivel.
“The African-American community is hurting their own cause by debacles like what happened last night.”......
And odumbo says narry a word about calming the street rats down. He wants those riots to continue, even worse, to escalate into a civil war. He thirsts for the time when he can declare Marshal Law and appoint himself emperor.
Words cannot describe the distain I have for that petulant bastard.
“A Man has his neck snapped....”
I would like to see the autopsy report on this. I’ve watched several videos of this. Initial reports said that three neck vertebrae had been broken. If that is true, then either the cops did something much worse than just holding him down, or the guy had some kind of serious osteoporosis.
