    They don't have to vote, they just have to register.... 'community organizers' cast their votes.

    And it wont be felt by those doing the damage.. The worse they make Baltimore the more money that will pumped into it. Meanwhile those who leave will be attacked for "white flight" or "uncle toms".

    Why is it everyone seems to be either forgetting this - or ignoring it:

    This is what's causing a push back from whites when it comes to these topics. They KNOW that more whites are killed by cops but no one seems to care. That's why the "All Lives Matters" is much more relative than "Black Lives Matter."

    And now more rioting? Call me a scaredy cat but I'd be the first one to start the white flight out of Baltimore.

    This mess we're in right now has been whipped up by Obama and Holder, and the liberal media that wants to put a false spin on the stories.

    Shame on all of them.

    Because it has to be repeated that "Perception" trumps facts in cases like these specially when you have some very vocal ministers or "activists" pumping up the "Perception" for their own agenda.

    The may, a black woman, called them thugs. She must be racist.

    Now this black councilman blaming the media for not focusing on the great things happening in Baltimore, but focusing on the rioting. lol.

    Another black councilman calls them thugs. He's racist too

    If these rioters and looters had happened to have been low-income, Appalachian, WHITE people, would we have shot them dead by now?

    Progressives only care about minorities.

    No, police are not to blame for rioting. Idiot rioters are to blame for rioting, and idiot political leaders in Baltimore are to blame for rioting.

    My argument is simply this:

    I understand breaking a few things in order to get people's attention but ravaging the local neighborhoods where YOU live and get YOUR supplies helps no one and kills your sympathy. Sure, making noise is how some of the most important events in history happened but this is just chaos for the sake of chaos. Worse that in the weeks before the protests were non-violent.

    In a round about, parallel universe kind of way, the police are sort of responsible. They're responsible because no matter where this happens, no matter how much destruction and financial loss people and businesses suffer, they never snuff it out quickly and harshly. Do this enough times and even have the president criticize the police and the hoodlums think they can do this whenever and where ever they want. If the thugs thought they'd face consequences for their actions they wouldn't do this.

    Every leftist group is a gullible tool of Progressives, who are Socialists at best.

    And the mantra, BUT THEY AREN'T FROM HERE. SO WHAT!! They are American, they live here, and they are part of the black community that is totally out of control with their lawlessness and we have to find a way to stop them. And the call went out to the students who rallied within an hour so YES they are FROM THERE.

    But I'm sure if they voted en masse, it'd be for someone like a Rand Paul, I'm sure. :roll:

    She says it, but I feel like a good chunk of those kids looting will just drop off the radar and go home, with no reprecussions from the law.

    No no no... the police have been told to let the fine citizens destroy the town... to exercise their freedom of speech.

    Good point. What was the turning point in the civil rights movement of the 1960's, when people of all races began to care about equal rights for blacks. I would say Birmingham. Peaceful protesters going up against Bull Conner, dogs and the Birmingham police.

    Now today you had Ferguson, in which I think most people including whites sympathized with blacks in what looked like above and beyond the use of police and deadly force. The rioting and burning destroyed in Ferguson destroyed that sympathy.

    Now you have Baltimore, no more sympathy period. Now instead of a lot of whites wanting to help get to the bottom of how police may or may not have treated blacks differently that white. Now most just want order restored by any means available. Crack down on the rioters and burners like you never cracked down on them in the past.

    The rioters and burners and those who now want to kill the police have played into the hands of racists and bigots. These rioters etc. are now showing the whole world those racist and bigots just might be right.

    Congratulations.

    I'm watching the news media covering comments by the Mayor of Baltimore.

    The video shows swarms of police cars driving away...

    I keep expecting her to quote Newt!:

    I'm thinking arresting the looters in mass and leaving the protestors alone would make more sense but hey lets let packs of kids destroy certain areas and eventually they will get bored eh?
