The owners of Baltimore’s Sports Mart in Mondawmin Mall released surveillance video of ‘hundreds’ of looters rampaging through the family-owned business Monday night.
The video shows Black men and women pouring in to the store and stealing everything in sight. The owners of the store are white.
There are reports that non-Black-owned stores were targeted for looting by the Baltimore rioters.

WJZ-TV in Baltimore aired the footage and interviewed the owners. They said the store was cleaned out–including the safe which was found in the street a block-and-half-away.
WJZ reporter Amy Yensi said the store’s eleven employees have been laid off and will likely lose their jobs as the store probably will not open. The owners expressed their feelings of betrayal by the community they served for thirty-five years:
“We have a webcam and it showed hundreds of people in here. It was like Macy’s Day Parade,” said Harvey Levy, Sports Mart president.
…“Leaving the 35-year-old family-owned business in shambles and a feeling of distrust for its owners.
““We’re a community-based store, and the community took care of us last night. They wiped us out,” said Brian Levy.
“Piles of empty boxes and sneakers without pairs line the sprawling stock room.
““This isn’t protesting. There’s just no excuse for this.”
“No excuse to quell the fears or make rebuilding easier.
“Eleven people work at that store and are now out of a job. The owner says he’s not sure if he’ll even reopen.”

Shocked? Not me.
Doesn’t matter.
The “community” just has a high percentage of criminals,
and they were just looking for an excuse.
They were cleaning, see, that is what we call “the bright side”
Good job Kristinn
the lame-stream storm clouds?
you could have knocked me over with a feather...
Amen!!!!
I remember during the L.A. riots, I personally saw the rioters loot a Circuit City and haul everything out of it. They didn’t touch the Crown Book store right next to it. They were like a trail of ants all over a bowl of sugar.
Stealin’ fo’ Freddie.
In the Newark riots of 67, black owned businesses wrote the term “soul brother” on their windows to ward off looters. It worked the first day. That night the state police were told by their commander he did not expect to see any windows with soul brother on them by sun rise. It was open season of those windows from that point on.
“The owner says he’s not sure if he’ll reopen.”
Reopen? To look at those very same people, running free, who looted the place, every day?
It would be the most stressful, obnoxious, irritating, disgusting thing ever.
(Reopen is civilization, wherever that might be these days.)
IMHO
The little darlings are angry. Don’t criticize.
have a nice day ....
Contemptible.
But the community came together. they are just frustrated with no money and no chance of jobs and bad schools.
Oh yea they must have more money pumped into the community.
The Mayor will get justice for the guy. Yea and regardless of the court case or criminal justice , oh yea that too is racist because people Like Rand Paul will do away with laws which in prison blacks more.
This country has using the left wing play book for generations and now we see what they have sowed.
Air Purge.
