In Baltimore, We’re All Freddie Gray
The New York Times ^ | APRIL 28, 2015 | D. WATKINS

Posted on 04/29/2015 9:33:34 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

BALTIMORE — AT the moment, what’s going on in Baltimore seems to be all about Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who was viciously attacked by police officers on April 12 more or less because he looked at them. They subdued him; his spine was nearly severed, his voice box was smashed and he was hauled off in a police van, even after he requested medical attention multiple times. He died a week later as result.

--SNIP--

Most of the protests were peaceful. The first acts of violence didn’t occur until after a nonviolent, if agitated, protest Saturday night at City Hall. From there, a group of protesters, including myself, marched to Camden Yards, where the Orioles were playing the Boston Red Sox. As we passed a strip of bars, a group of white baseball fans, wearing both Baltimore and Boston gear, were standing outside yelling, “We don’t care! We don’t care!” Some called us monkeys and apes. A fight broke out, and people were hurt.

F@ck that.

I am not a multiple felon black drug dealer trying to hurt myself in a police van. Yes we have testimony of another criminal in the van who said that’s what Freddie was doing.

I thought my gym teacher was gonna stroke out.

He thought I was dying.

I think I was 8 or 9, at the time.

He was very young and had just started his job.

Bad form to lose a kid, right off the bat.

:D

Da truth done madder...

I be really angry and frustrated man. I got rites ya know, like to attack any person (preferably white) I feelz like.

In 1968 ( I think) MLK coined the famous statement:

“It's not burn baby burn but rather learn baby learn”.

The intellectual and rational level of MLK’s grandchildren, great grandchildren and maybe in some cases, great-great grandchildren, today, is so FUBAR that MLK would have quit the NAACP and all other organizations and moved to Durban, South Africa to continue his work there.

Shame on the communities for their ignorance, stupidity and refusal to deal with urban, self-implosion...

All lives matter but there are other, darker forces at work now and it's all part of the Obamian “fundamental change” agenda. It's all about ripping America apart by inciting criminal behavior, yet backed up by the current administration. All HIS platitudes and comments are either divisive or mocking...prepare for 2 more years of throwing US race relations back to 1965.

Uh huh. Just like most whites aren't racist. But somehow, some way, the left reallllly works hard to paint everyone who is caucasian as a member of the Klan.

Fed up.

Yeah, most of them probably have a similar rap sheet. I agree, Freddie represents most of them. I’m surprised at what has happened to “black pride”. How can they be “proud” of what they have become?

Me too. I got pulled over the other day by an officer who happened to be black. I’m white.

When I passed him, I was below the speed limit so I was quite surprised to get stopped.

Turns out my license plate light was burned out

We ended up joking and laughing about something. There was no racial animus. Just a decent police citizen interaction in a town a few miles north of Baltimore.

Blacks have been taught to think of themselves as a monolithic entity.

The last thing liberals want is for blacks to think for themselves.

Democratic control of Baltimore is the main cause of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

Baltimore needs as mayor, Toya Graham,,the mother that took his son from the mob.

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and "community organizers" followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" strategy.

According to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.

Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral?

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.

Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show

Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With "Failed Liberal Democrat Policies"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3284755/posts

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
