    Yes, I read about that on another thread and in the news today. There is so much wrong with what she did. I still don't think that police brutality is acceptable either though. I can't say when or how the man's injuries occurred though. I would like to hear some more details about that too.

    These thugs are burning down their neighborhood, yet you and your fellow progressives continue blaming the community.

    Are you professing to be a riot expert?

    Went through two big ones, 1992 in L.A. and the Watts Riots in 1965.

    Maybe a half of dozen small civil disturbances.

    The riots at the DaNag brig was interesting. I hate putting down riots.

    Yes, between the late 1950s and the early 1960s, most white Americans were simply repulsed by the racist attitudes of some, especially (then) in the South. The shocking murder of Emmitt Till in Mississippi, in 1955; then-Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus' attempt to prevent the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, in 1957; then-Alabama Gov. George Wallace's similar attempt, as concerning the University of Alabama, in 1963; the murder of several civil-rights workers in Mississippi, in 1961; and the assassination of Medgar Evers in Mississippi, in 1963; all were instrumental in this revulsion.

    Nowadays, however, you have some people (especially among the young, and members of the permanent underclass) who seem to prefer a race war to the goodwill and cooperation that once existed.

    That's ancient history...More blacks have killed other blacks than the KKK... more looting.. more violence.. There is a break down of black society...

    Why, do you think those protesters are MIT Graduates? Do ya really think they even have jobs? Sooner or later business owners will fight back by shooting looters. I can only hope they use shotguns which leave NO rifling to tie the projectiles with the firearm.

    Or they rely on their stores being insured, write off the deductible loss, close the stores involved, and any others in predominately black neighborhoods, and never look back.

    Any other business, even those which are Black owned, who try to take the closed business's place, will find their insurance rates so high, as to make the venture impossible.

    The Black Thugs will have turned their already poor circumstances into an utter hell. Again, many innocent and decent Black Americans, will suffer greatly at the hands of a few, violent, lawless, Black Americans who are filled with racial hatred and contempt.

    Sad.

    The conservatives who advocate we meet violence with violence WANT to make the situation worse as they want a race war. It would help them establish the fascist dictatorship they want.

    Those are simply unthinking pawns. The conservatives have made it clear they want to return to the semi-slavery that existed in this country before 1954, only this time they'll make it apply to nearly everyone that isn't among the very rich

    Why is it that the Libs who always scream racism, or are always screaming for more BS programs to be implemented in da 'hood, don't actually live there?

    I guess because we don't like to live in neighborhoods you conservatives have made so (*)(*)(*)(*)ty. We are, however, at least cognizant that they ARE (*)(*)(*)(*)ty, and keep the people in them from advancing. Conservatives, OTOH, think really (*)(*)(*)(*)ty housing, hunger and all the other effects of poverty are somehow GOOD for people, or at least that's the silly BS they will push on anyone stupid enough to listen. Hell, most conservatives seem to think that living under widespread legal oppression was beneficial to blacks, some even think they were all wildly happy as slaves.

    From what I'm seeing, by dawn Tuesday, there will be allot less Baltimore to be concerned about.

    And little reason for anyone productive to stay or visit.

    Those poor Black people, "Forced" to live in a burned out ghetto with no stores and no jobs.... its would be funny, if only the guilty were affected.

    Gotta disagree on one thing...They don't want a revolution. They just want to tear (*)(*)(*)(*) up and maybe snag a flat screen TV.

    Businesses should pack up and leave. City should withhold all reconstruction funding. Let these violent feral animals live in the squalor they created.

    the police are partly to blame for the protests, the actions of the gangs is all on the gangs

    if I was that state I would end the war on drugs and hurt the gangs big time where it counts... in the wallet.....

    This is such a sad sentiment but absolutely true. Our nation elected a man who set about to systematically "put us in our place." He denied the exceptionalism of the greatest nation in the world. We elected a leader who held us in disdain.

    Then, he appointed a cabinet that echoed his sentiments. It's been a growing nightmare ever since. I was glad to see GWB finally give voice to the problems Obama's caused. We're back in a Cold War, the Middle East (always a hot spot) is now even more destabilized. Here in the United States we face growing racial tensions and whites are the unspoken "enemy" of this administration. It's beyond belief how low we've sunk. I think we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg here. It will take decades - if it's even possible - restore law and order to our broken inner cities.

    It makes me sad to see our Founders disrespected - and thugs like this - being justified. This is the fatal flaw in liberalism -- placing value on the elements of society that are the most destructive - and condemning those that are the most beneficial.

    Can we recover? I really don't know.

    I'm not a "hood" expert but I'm positive of one thing - "hoods" should not exist. There should be no communities within communities divided by race. How do hoods form? Why do white people leave? Explain that to me. And, why do many blacks also give voice to wanting to get out of the hoods?

    The existence of hoods is bad enough but the thought that some people seem proud of living there is beyond baffling...

    Exactly, and then you will hear the liberals in the media commenting that the riots of mass destruction in Baltimore and elsewhere are from just a few, WHAT THE (*)(*)(*)(*)? Anyone with a brain and who is not a hater can see that there are 10's of thousands of rioters now emerging, and the government just sits back and let's them do it. This is un-(*)(*)(*)(*)ing believable

    These hoods have created (or assisted in the creation of) a black subculture that is out of control. This behavior is not justifiable in any civilized society.

    I was listening to the comments last night on FOX (the only news service that I trust in this situation) and even the so called peaceful protesters were throwing rocks and bottles at police and justifying this destruction, and then in other on street interviews others were complaining the police just watch them do this destruction. Unbelievable, they hate the police for intervening, and they hate the police for not intervening, is this insane or what?

    What all this insanity made me realize is how unbelievably vulnerable our nation is if there was actually terrorists committing this mayhem. I can see islamo-nazis just sitting back and watching this meltdown and the ineffective way our authorities deal with it. Our government trips over it's own feet, we are screwed as a nation, and we can thank Obama and his inciting brethren for whipping all this into a frenzy

    I have clearly assessed that in all this hate and destruction, just ask yourself if these hateful rioting anarchists are republican or democrat? I think the vast majority of us know the answer to that one.
