Those are PROTEST pictures NOT THE RIOT. Different events, don't go all Fox News trickery on me.

Keep up. Any white caught up in these riots got annihilated or had to run inside the stores and lock up as any recent Riot video shows.

That's also not true. These white people are running out of the store, with what looks like some tasty Doritos. Please try again. On a side note, I now want some Doritos.

I wasn't talking about the rioting but pointed out cops killing young black males. Its seems a lot of you in here are concentrating more on the riots while ignoring another young male losing his life in the hands of police.

Isn't that the bigger issue?

We're concentrating on the rioting because that is the topic of the thread? Are you really that lost?

The solution here is to employ these people. Build factories. Give them jobs.

You can't build factories if other countries can employ people for pennies on the dollar and create the same shit you do.

Agreed. You'd need policy changes and/or a different economic focus than manufacturing.

Proposals?

Manufacturing is only 15% of the economy right now, last I checked. So moving further away from that would seem like the right path to take - trying to bring those jobs back to the US is frankly a lost cause. Even more so in the future when automation takes off.

Thats because they were mostly covered head to toe and in a big rush. If they were just out there with head not covered they'd be dead.

^^^^Thank God. I shake my head every time I see someone bitching about old manufacturing jobs. That's the past Connie. Need to move on.

So your first statement was there were no white people at the protests. Then you revised it to say there were white people at the protests, but there were no white people at the riots because they would've gotten "annihilated." Then you revised it to say there were white people at the riots, but they were safe because their heads were covered? If we can tell they're white then how do you suppose the black people in the store didn't know? Is there an epidemic of blind looters in Baltimore now? By the way, I know you must be tired from moving that goalpost so many times.

people thought George Zimmerman was White

So, it's possible that some blacks mistaken them to be blacks

If that's the way we're going to play it then I contend that all the "African-American looking" looters were actually just white people who needed the extra cash to fund their tanning salon habit. Those tanning beds aren't cheap you know. But we shouldn't judge them. Tanning addiction is a disease.

I never stated that. Quote me where I said there was no whites at the protest, nor did I ever have to backtrack and say that there was. You seem to be confusing my posts with someone else? Please quote me saying those things in your next reply or apologize.

I merely stated Whites were targeted in the riots, in mass. I posted 3 videos proving that. Facts:

What I find most delicious is, these white libtards defending the rioterswould be the first ones to get their shit kicked in instantaneously.

These people are actively targeting non-blacks.

Or are there videos out there instead?

Quite a few.

I never stated that. Link where I said there was no whites at the protest, or forever be owned.

"What I find most delicious is, these white libtards defending the rioters would be the first ones to get their shit kicked in instantaneously.

^Well that was your original comment, which implied that there were none of these white libtard defenders there, and outright stated that if any white libtard defenders were there that you would find their assault by black people to be "delicious."

But whatever. Have that one if you want. Your second and third replies were 100% false, which is why you failed to include them.

Well you failed too with the protester mix up.

But the videos I showed prove that blacks did actively targets whites at the height of the Riots.

There's a high chance of the limpwristed liberal kids who defend the Rioters here were actually there on Saturday, they would have been chased into stores, beaten, thrown bricks at like all those in the video.

But you know what didn't change? Blacks targeted whites during these riots.

In one of those very videos 5+ of them team up to beat up a random white woman, c'mon...

It's a riot. There were black people attacking white people, white people attacking white people, white people attacking black people, black people attacking black people.

By the way, white people attacking black people is how the riot started. Freddie Gray, remember? As well as a bunch of drunken Orioles fans who used racial epithets and threw bottles at peaceful black and white protesters outside of Camden Yards:

Folks in the comment section are claiming that the writer of that article are lying because of video evidence. The video evidence I saw was a women getting her purse snatch, and people screaming inside a bar/restaurant.

You're asking the wrong dude. I know what the problem is, but I don't know how it can be fixed. Short of banning imports from countries that don't pay a humane wage.

Yup, videos show the blacks mobs mostly targeting white people. Many videos.

I'm sure those other things happened, but not to the degree of targeted hate the blacks put out. Burden of proof is on you, the videos showing my case are strongly compelling.

You trust the comments section more than the author who was actually there? Interesting. You must not read a lot of comments sections. And still the original catalyst for this riot is Freddie Gray getting dragged into a police van which would basically be his execution room. Or do you not trust that video evidence either?

Seriously? Are you being serious with me mate? How about that black man that got shot in the back for slowly running away (the cop could have attempted to chase after him, or even use his Taser) but no, he just shot him in the back 5 times and killed him. I'm not even from America, I live in Australia and this police brutality disgusts me, it seems to me they are finding any reason to shoot a black person and that they are targeting them. This was not the first time in the last year that I heard of a black man being killed for something minor.

Sure you're right though, two wrongs don't make a right. It does seem like they are targeting any white person they see in these riots. Honestly, this brings tears to my eyes. Is this what the human race has come to?

I'm talking about these specific riots.

I condone ANY violence.... How the police treat blacks is beyond terrible and clearly is one of the many reasons this event occured.

/**** no I don't trust him/her. And I trust the video evidence of Freddie Gray getting dragged. Why would you asked me a stupid quest? Do I need to be on your side in order for you not to question me? Do you want me to defend and cheer for the rioters, and make an excuse for them, if so, then hell no.

@Jankarcop: I apologise if I seemed irrational. This sort of stuff gets me very emotional, I understand what you're saying now. I would be fearing for my life if I lived in Baltimore, I would suggest everyone to stay in-doors (but you're probably still not safe inside your own home it would seem). Do you or anyone else know of any deaths that have occurred because of these riots, or is it just injuries for the time being?

I'm not even from America, I live in Australia and this police brutality disgusts me, it seems to me they are finding any reason to shoot a black person and that they are targeting them. This was not the first time in the last year that I heard of a black man being killed for something minor.

Sure you're right though, two wrongs don't make a right. It does seem like they are targeting any white person they see in these riots. Honestly, this brings tears to my eyes. Is this what the human race has come to?

Exceptions don't define the rule.

It's a riot. There were black people attacking white people, white people attacking white people, white people attacking black people, black people attacking black people.

By the way, white people attacking black people is how the riot started. Freddie Gray, remember? As well as a bunch of drunken Orioles fans who used racial epithets and threw bottles at peaceful black and white protesters outside of Camden Yards:

http://www.citypaper.com/bcpnews-how-drunk-sports-fans-helped-spark-saturday-nights-violence-20150428,0,75331.story

Folks in the comment section are claiming that the writer of that article are lying because of video evidence. The video evidence I saw was a women getting her purse snatch, and people screaming inside a bar/restaurant.

You trust the comments section more than the author who was actually there? Interesting. You must not read a lot of comments sections. And still the original catalyst for this riot is Freddie Gray getting dragged into a police van which would basically be his execution room. Or do you not trust that video evidence either?

/**** no I don't trust him/her. And I trust the video evidence of Freddie Gray getting dragged. Why would you asked me a stupid quest? Do I need to be on your side in order for you not to question me? Do you want me to defend and cheer for the rioters, and make an excuse for them, if so, then hell no.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you just said.

Anyone making excuses for these rioters should be ashame of themselves. These animals went after the poor. Did anyone even see photos of the victims from the riots? They were sad, looking like they're about to cry.

What do rioters and cops have in common? That's right, they go after the poor.

As a black man it's really hard to denounce the looters when everyone else is slinging racial slurs at you.

It's like damn, we both share the same opinion about Baltimore's situation, but I'm backed into a corner having to defend my race.

Sad thing, the rioters comprised a very small portion of the protesters. There were people there that were exercising their constitutional rights to protest what they perceived as an injustice. Unfortunately, there always exists a small portion of people that will simply take advantage of a situation to cause mayhem. Those rioters were not out there to protest any injustice. They took away from the vast majority of people that were making a voice for change. It's pretty obvious just watching the Baltimore community that most of those people were disgusted at the rioters as well.

Baltimore Mayor allowed the rioters to freely do whatever they want, then she apologize for calling them thugs. She needs to be impeach for not letting the cops do their jobs

The solution here is to employ these people. Build factories. Give them jobs.

You can't build factories if other countries can employ people for pennies on the dollar and create the same shit you do.

Agreed. You'd need policy changes and/or a different economic focus than manufacturing.

Proposals?

You're asking the wrong dude. I know what the problem is, but I don't know how it can be fixed. Short of banning imports from countries that don't pay a humane wage.

I'd just like to point out that our minimum wage is hardly humane either. In many parts of the country it's impossible or very difficult for people to work a standard forty hour workweek and support themselves. I think that if you work eight hours a day, forty hours a week, even on minimum wage, you should be able to live without the constant fear of being evicted or going hungry for a while. Not everyone can afford college and we need people to work at lower wage jobs, because despite their shitty pay, they are important.

Amen. I know Waka Flocka was joking about becoming president but he definitely had a point about raising the minimum wage to atleast $15 an hour, what we have now is a complete joke.

We have interesting times coming, I'm not sure about the competition but I sure as shit don't trust Hillary.

Since the agricultural revolution, humans have always been pretty rotten. Once cities and governments popped up is when hierarchies really took hold on the species. Since then, it's just been a shit sandwich. And we actually live in one of the more peaceful eras of human history right now, believe it or not. And that alone is sad considering how shitty the world still is in many places. We still have several centuries if not millennia to go before the whole world is truly civilized, if it's even possible for the whole species to be civilized.

Ours is hardly humane? Are you joking? We pay upwards of 20x more than what people make in some of these slave nations.

I get it, our wage isn't good enough, but please don't try and kid me. There are places in the world that have it MUCH MUCH worse. And the point is: We can't compete with them.

If blacks as a whole want racial equality they need to realize that black culture is rotten to it's core.

What you are seeing is not black culture. Its a culture sold (money, blood, sweat, tears) to black youth. Historically, people of color didn't treated their women like second class citizens, didn't abandoned their children (the saying it takes a village to raise a child came from Africa), didn't disrespect their elders, disdain education, destroy of ones surroundings, ect... Those traits were pillars of the European cultures that brought Africans to these lands.

Yet it's not whites in these riots.

If thats the case, then off course the media will focus on the small portion.

Reports are starting to come in Freddie Gray was trying to injure himself on purpose in the police cruiser. Who knows how accurate this is, but if it's true, this just got a lot more ridiculous.

I read that too. The report is allegedly from another prisoner who was on the other side of a metal partition from Freddie Gray. So unless that other prisoner's name happens to be Matt Murdock, I doubt he could know what was happening out of his field of vision.

It's the police's fault now if a criminal is trying to hurt himself? Do you take any responsibility or credibility for any actions you do yourself?
