A crisis mediation group plans to open up several sites around Baltimore after the verdict is announced in the first trial of a police officer charged in Freddie Gray's arrest and death.
Changa Onyango, director of Community Mediation Baltimore, said he has about 75 mediators in the city who plan to set up sites indoors where people can come and express their opinions safely. He said the "emotional energy" of people gathering outside in West Baltimore in April contributed to sparking the riots. His team is going over several options to help people express themselves, including setting up open mics.
Having people gather outside, "just made some of the trouble that happened inevitable," he said. "The whole point is to keep them from being outside."

Sad, but not a joke. It is the reality of treating the blacks like children and expecting them to behave like and as adults.
The announcement to have these “mediation groups” is as bad as the mayor saying “give them room to vandalize.”
Good point. Intimidation pf the jury/judicial process by the mob outside threatening to destroy private property.
Don’t even need a rope.
How about opening some prison camps around town.
I hear FEMA's got some waiting. But they're meant for Patriots, not rioters!
How about a tent camp just outside Lewiston, Maine?
I like it, lurk. Keep it simple.

“The arc of our culture and nation is being dictated by the most savage and least able of society.”
How timely. The libs aren’t just weighing us down with this crap on a racial basis.
They just papered over the windows of our office doors because new ADA codes state that windows in office doors must be low enough for those in a wheel chair to see through or cannot exist.
So we are replacing our doors.
Let’s lower all bars to the least able among us.
space to loot and pillage.
Where were all the mediation sites giving dissenters
a chance to express their emotion about the OJ Simpson trial?
That's a good explanation of Hillary's appeal to progressives.
Imagine life today in the US if only
we’d picked our own damned cotton.
I wonder about that scenario.
Economically, we would be SLIGHTLY retarded in our growth over the last few hundred years, but on the flip side, social programs would not exist, crime would be a lot lower, and my kids could use the local park without being beaten and robbed.
Maine is a good idea but Lewiston is way too far south.
I’m fairly sure there is ample surplus housing on Eagle Lake.
Thoreau country, up where the water runs both ways.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Yes, the early loss to the economy would have been a drag ...
but ... think of what was spent and lost during the War Between the States. Without the slave question, would the have been a war? If not...
The hundreds of thousands of men who died in the War of Northern Aggression, on both sides, would likely go on to procreate had there not been a war.
I dunno the consequences of that scenario, just throwing it out there. Maybe WW1 and II would have ended sooner due to our increased manpower, who knows.
That's what I was thinking. Open bar, not open mike.
