I think if you lived in West Baltimore you'd be rioting and looting too.
I can't speak for others, but I certainly wouldn't. But then that is just me, I'm not a violent opportunistic thug who feels he is entitled to steal from innocent people just because a cop killed someone.
The f*ckers could at least have a method to their damn madness and solely focus on the cops, but they don't because..logic.

Bill Clinton was in an interview. I believe it was a Fox News interview. Bill Clinton defended himself against that accusation and it was pretty good.I'll see if I can dig it up. It made me change my mind about Bill Clinton.

Edit - Man, I forgot how good that interview was. I remember being a kid and watching Bill Clinton destroy George Bush in the presidential debates. Bill Clinton may be my inspiration for being such an argumentative *sshole. 😐

Not that I would ever condone savage violence of any kind but your suggestion is at least a step in the right direction.
But do you want to know why they won't do that?
They don't wan to get shot and die.

Nothing of relevance came up.
And here's the issue: I agree that you probably wouldn't join in riots (well, I don't know you, but I don't get any violent vibes from you) but you probably weren't born into a poor, uneducated black family in an impoverished area rife with crime and with few realistic prospects. It's all well and good to look down from your pedestal on the rioters when you've probably lived a much more privileged life.
I'm not going to condone the riots, I think there are better ways of gaining the world's attention and spotlighting Baltimore's many problems, but I'm also not going to join in on the circle jerk of sanctimonious contempt for the people of Baltimore that seems to be clogging up the internet. It's completely useless and will only further entrench the Us vs Them mentality that's causing the riots in the first place.
It's really not sanctimonious to condemn these people taking advantage of the death of someone who was murdered by cops. That is the lowest of the low, and you won't condemn it..why? Because they grew up poor?
I'm also not looking down from some pedestal. Did I grow up in massive poverty? No, but we weren't even considered "middle class" either when it came to how much money my parents earned. I also did not grow up in the nice parts of Chicago, so crime was a thing I was exposed to. But meh, the point is the problem is that people seem to have a problem with people discussing the riots. We had them rioting for days, they called in the friggin national guard. That is a topic worthy of discussion.
Until today, we had no idea what truly happened to Freddy or if the cops would be charged, all we had to focus on really was the ongoing riots. I also think anyone, no matter their income or social status, has the right to look down on people who loot and burn in response to a tragic death. I don't care how poor they grew up, it's not an excuse.

They don't want to get shot and die? That is great, but NOW they need to go and apply that "don't want to get shot and die" mentality to their interactions with police officers.

Sorry man, I'm just a Gentle Giant.
Two new GOP candidates have announced they're running. One is black and the other is a woman.
I would vote for either one of them over the socialist Hillary in a heartbeat.

There's a very good chance Hillary will win the Dem nomination should she run(rumors are she will).Not sure about the Rep card. I am hoping Donald Trump wins the nomination, will be hysterical
Same goes for M. Bachmann and Sarah Palin, that has epic levels of comedy potential

It's like how Islamic extremists view their actions as justifiable.
Just because you THINK it's right, doesn't mean it is.

The lady iirc was the CEO of Hewlett-Packard who was basically fired from the company after its market value was cut in half and hundreds of employees were laid off.
Don't worry, she probably had over a year's severance payout and stock options worked into her contract should she be fired.
