They're stabbing firehoses so firefighters can't put out fires. I'd hose the shit out someone if they went near the hose. I guess I can't if it's full of holes though.
Please do not mistake violent assholes for legitimate protesters. People who just want to fuck shit up have taken advantage of what could have been a constructive and progressive demonstration.
"The drug war, race and economic inequities have produced a systemic dynamic in which the lives of not only people of color, but the underclass especially, have been devalued. And now, finally, with the advent of cell-phones and digital cameras, this dynamic is self-evident on a local and national level. I have no fucking problem judging.
And I want the argument to progress, to be sure. A riot, even if inevitable or understandable, is an inferior and imprecise weapon with which to exert for change. Mass civil disobedience, rather than civil unrest, can achieve a great deal without undercutting the legitimacy of the grievance. Revolutionaries will be disappointed, of course. They command from some other place than West North Avenue, and they always imagine the brick landing on the skulls of the right people. It doesn't work that way even in a bar fight. A riot is shit ugly. And in the end, it loses the allies that non-violent anger and mass disobedience would otherwise glean when diligent and committed people embrace the strategy."
Seriously, fuck some of these rioters- you don't mess with firefighters. They literally never do anything wrong and are there trying to save people's lives from the fires you create, and you stab their hoses? Not that any of the things these rioters are doing is actually justified, but you really don't mess with the people who are trying to save your whole city from being burnt to the ground.
One the national guard is going in and two I'm very disappointed that the hummer with that giant dish on top that pretty much microwaves people isn't available for deployment. Would watch. Water cannons would work too but god forbid anybody try and disperse people cause the internet would cry about 60's repeats.
One of the reasons I own guns if exactly for this. Social uprising. You bet your ass that if this happened in my city, I'd go full out Mark Wahlberg "Shooter" and start picking people off. I feel people would change their minds in a hurry if the guy next to them suddenly grows a 3" hole in their chest.

Damn, can't wait to see how this series of events will go down in the textbooks.
Anyways, I understand why they're pissed, and it is a legit problem. However, action should be taken in a respectful, peaceful matter. Not rioting and burning down buildings. That just worsens the stereotypes...
Baltimore is a fucking cesspool. the only thing these fucking hoodrats are accomplishing is proving their worthlessness to the rest of the nation. seriously, if we nuked Baltimore, the world would be a better place. nuclear fallout is more useful than most of bmore's population.
butterslut.it's extremely close minded to say that the black people of baltimore are giving black people everywhere a bad name because that's just not true.
if you honestly think that the actions of some people in one city are how everyone everywhere acts, you're just generally invalid.
no, i'm not saying that, but it certainly isn't helping. the stuff they're doing now is how stereotypes form, and how the cycle of racism begins again
Peter.no, i'm not saying that, but it certainly isn't helping. the stuff they're doing now is how stereotypes form, and how the cycle of racism begins again
racism already exists and always has, it hasn't been fixed yet. just ask my grandpa who has a distaste for dark skinned people and taught that to his children who stay away from them and dont go outside of their white neighborhood.

it's so fucking stupid. but it still exists.
i know. these people going around breaking cars and looting stores are the same people complaining that the racism still exists, when all they are doing is fueling it.

really just a sad cycle
yea well every one is dumb and that's all i have to say on the matter.
I'm from maryland.. Currently in denver as a student and i am supposed to be flying home to go to a girls formal in baltimore this weekend. will be sure to give timely updated on the situation

eat a dick.
The media hasn't been reporting on the massive, peaceful protests that have also been going on. More cars were destroyed when the Ravens won the super bowl than from these riots.
and this
When nonviolence is preached as an attempt to evade the repercussions of political brutality, it betrays itself. When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time-out, it exposes itself as a ruse. When nonviolence is preached by the representatives of the state, while the state doles out heaps of violence to its citizens, it reveals itself to be a con. And none of this can mean that rioting or violence is "correct" or "wise" anymore than a forest fire can be "correct" or "wise." Wisdom isn't the point, tonight. Disrespect is. In this case disrespect for the hollow law and failed order that so regularly disrespects the rioters themselves
Peter.i just never understand what violent riots are going to prove
That shit is $free.95 if you break a window. And you know reinforcing the nation's police forces' idea that young black men are inherently violent criminals thus perpetuating the cop on black violence.
ghosthopeat a dick.

Yeah, 'cause Baltimore is a cesspool. You want to know how many cars were destroyed when Seattle won the Super Bowl? Zero.
Baltimore is one of the shittiest cities in the country. Leading the nation in violent crime. It fucking deserves this shit. If I were the police I'd pull out and let the fuckers torch their own home.
The Mayor basically gave folks the green like to destroy shit, saying they wanted to make sure people had space to destroy shit. Well ya dumb bitch, you got your wish.

Do you guys want to borrow the Dutch anti-hooligan water cannon zombie apocalypse Mad Max doom truck?

Holy fucking stupid. Quit trying to justify the barbaric actions being perpetuated by citizens of the usa's asshole. Baltimore is a fucking heroin infested dump and has been for a long time. Now the rest of the US knows just how worthless it is.

I just so happen to turn on CNN around 6:00pm last night and watched 2 guys in gas masks cut the hose twice. I have no words for whats playing out. What the fuck do I know?
