Baltimore Rioting

(This post was last modified: 04-28-2015, 02:16 PM by The Eleventh Doctor.)

Quote:The funny thing about these riots is that they're barely connected to the death of an individual.  That may have been the catalyst for protests, but to riot and burn down a community?  Whether it's Ferguson, Watts, or Baltimore, there's no justification for what has transpired.  These "protests" were merely an opportunity seized to loot and cause havoc.  If you were to go into the streets of Baltimore and ask these "protesters" to explain why they're stealing everything they can carry while setting places on fire, I'm confident most wouldn't reference the death as their motivation. 

 

In Ferguson, it was often rent-a-mobs that were bused from all over the place in by instigators hoping to create the kind of chaos that ultimately transpired.  At the end of the day, their hands up, don't shoot narrative that was the premise for their outrage turned out to be a false narrative used by those instigators to get the crowds riled up. 

 

What happened initially to spark these protests is tragic.  Regardless of the criminal history of the person who died, the details surrounding his death are absolutely suspicious.  That doesn't justify what has happened since the incident. 
No it doesn't.  Though I don't think anyone other than the Panthers fan has said that it does.


Many of the protesters were peaceful.  There were many law abiding protesters who not only didn't loot and commit heinous acts of violence, but who also called for others to stop.  The criminals who looted and set things on fire saw the protests as an opportunity.  They saw that the police weren't going to be able to handle the situation, and ran in and took what they wanted, destroyed what they wanted.  They didn't care about Freddie Gray.  They didn't care about police violence.  All they cared about was taking the opportunity to raid innocent businesses when the police would be unable to arrest them for what they were doing.


What's unfortunate is that the peaceful protesters message has been swept under the rug because of the act of those claiming to act on their behalf. And that the people who destroyed their own city (or the people who came to Baltimore to destroy it) will destroy the lives of many people (who will lose their jobs and businesses) in addition to destroying the message.


I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
