Hey, what better way to provide jobs for unemployed people than to destroy the businesses that could employ them. /s

The cry is: These people desperately need jobs (which the left always tries to blame on the right);

But, since the left’s culture has taught these students that the business owner is the culprit as to why they don’t have jobs .. they just burn down the businesses.

HOW IGNORANTLY STUPID CAN YOU GET ..?????????????????

And, like clockwork, clueless federal, state and local politicians will start talking about the need to bring new businesses and investment to inner city Baltimore as a way to rebuild and provide jobs. What they won’t admit is that no business is going to set up shop in an area where there is a risk of being destroyed by riots.

They stole anything they could in those businesses first especially the CVS where they took the meds and drugs

Yes - the media and government did a great job of minimizing the extent of the rioting and arson we saw, didn't they?

What I saw made the riots look localized and showed only a few buildings burning.

Baltimore is bigger and more target-rich than Ferguson...

I was having a conversation with some folks the other day and one of them decided to opine on his views of tolerance. I told the group that I ascribed to the old version of tolerance (letting folks be as long as they weren't causing outside damage) and never "updated" my tolerance to modern standards. i told them that if Joe got mad at Charlie and decided to express his displeasure by destroying my neighborhood and home, then Joe and his friends would be crawling over each others dead bodies to accomplish their mission.

One of the group was Black and I was accused of being racist. I pointed out that Joe and Charlie (real members of the group) were both White - how was I being racist? Unless one was assuming that only other races were the ones who would do such a thing, then my comment was apt - those who made the assumption were the racist ones and also stating that it was only certain races that would do such a thing.

Won't be engaged in any of their conversations again...

My insurance agent stated that if this happened to my business, there would be no coverage. Is this true in MD, too?
I’ve heard that there would be low/no interest loans for rebuilding, but that’s the extent of the assistance.

Gee, no wonder the left wants to make thug the new "n" word. Thug is the perfect word for these riots and the left knows and can not defend against it, so make it a bad word.

The right is stupid if they go along. They are defining your how you can counter them to the point you can not say anything.

Thugs, thugs, thugs!

"According to Breitbart, most of the businesses destroyed in the largely black areas affected by the Baltimore riots were owned by Arabs or Asians, and not white Americans, reminiscent of the Los Angeles riots in the 1990s."

If this report of tribalism is accurate, then no non-black business should ever go back into Baltimore, and the area should just rot. After 1.8 billion in Obama Admin stimulus money directed to Baltimore, it is not an issue of money, it is an issue of perpetual victimology and culture. Build a fence around it like in Escape from New York.

They ought to leave the buildings empty and move their businesses to a different part of the city...

200 businesses? Where did you get this bogus information? Fox News, no doubt. Typical inflammatory rhetoric you'd expect.

I happen to have it on good authority that only one business was destroyed and the purveyors of if-it-bleeds-it-leads journalism played the video on a loop.

Unless you want to call Preezy Urkel a liar.

During the riots, many black-owned businesses put up signs announcing such and directing looters to take out their criminal aggression elsewhere, if they weren’t already being protected by gangs and protestors.

Rassis!

In a shocking turn of events, Destruction happened in the space to destroy given by the Mayor.

If I owned any of these businesses I’d be talking with my lawyers on how best to sue both the City of Baltimore and her personally.

“Thankfully, Gov. Hogan stepped in to the dire situation the day after the riots”

The day after? Wow, good job.
I remember Bush being crucified, in the media, for not reacting fast enough after 9-11 and Katrina.
