They need to send the SWAT team in there and wipe them thugs out, simple fix.

Violence begets more violence. I've seen this truism proved every time it's tried. It's particularly going to be true in the most heavily armed country on earth.

I don't know what should be done. There is probably no solution.

Human beings in different parts of the world and even within this country are in different stages of development.

The transition of the economy from one in which anyone with a stdrong back could get a job to today's highly technological one has left about 50 to 100 million Americans at the bottom of the development scale permanently screwed.

So they lash out. It's not right what they're doing, but it's understandable. I repeat. There is probably no solution. Carry on.

100 times more young black men are killed by other young black men than police. AND NOT ONE RIOT because of it. A young black man kills another young black man and it hardly makes the news. It is all hypocritical, from the community and from the press. Twice as many white men have been killed by the police than black men. You don't see that community rioting and torching their neighborhoods and cities. And they are just as screwed as the black community technology wise .

Totally not understandable. Its a bunch of crap. Next excuse.....

I disagree. i think murders get reported every day regardless of race.

And to your point about police killings, it's not twice as many. While it's true that more whites were killed, blacks are targeted much more proportionally.

If you read the abuses that have gone on in Baltimore, I think you will have a different view. I agree that it's stupid and criminal to destroy your own neighborhood, but for some to suggest that this level of anger is unjustified, is either ignorant, naive or dishonest.

I am neither ignorant, naive nor dishonest. There is NO freaking reason to act like these people are acting. They are not near going through what their forbearers went through in the first half of the 20th Century and those people accomplished a hell of a lot more than these numbskulls will ever accomplish. People who deny that is either ignorant, naive or dishonest.

I don't think you read my comment. I said it is stupid and criminal to destroy your neighborhood. But my comment is that for someone to say that the community being angry is not justified, you are either naive, ignorant or dishonest.

You have to seperate the two things. The news agencies are focusing on the folks doing the criminal activities, and those should be dealt with, but there is also a large group of people that are not being violent but still have complaints.

And for you to suggest that just because these folks aren't in shackles like their forebearers, they have no room to complain, is unfortunate.

There is a real pattern of abuse here.

And let me say ahead of time that I hope the Admin allows this thread to continue, assuming it remains respectful. These types of conversations are vital, IMO.

Here's another good article from the great David Simon. The City of Baltimore is screwed up big time.

I read the articals and agree they are screwed up.
Who runs Baltimore politically?
;)

[Macarthur]

I'm sure it warms many folks hearts to know that it's been run by Democrats for some time. But these issues cross political boundaries. We're seeing these abuses all over the country - in R and D areas. I think it does the issue a major disservice to make this about just Rebublicans versus Democrats.
