“We Ain’t Choosing No Sides; We Just Choosing Our Side”: Gangs believe do better job than the police
Medium ^ | 5/2/2015 | Amy K. Nelson

It’s a few minutes before midnight on Wednesday and I’m sharing a cigarette with a Blood and Crip at a diner 20 minutes outside of Baltimore. It’s two hours past the government-imposed curfew on this broken city and outside its margins the unlikeliest of encounters is happening.

Just two days earlier, Baltimore police put out a very different version of gang unity, issuing a memo — just hours after 25-year-old Freddie Gray’s funeral — warning that the rival gangs were planning a possible attack on cops. It put the city on edge, and as violence unfolded in the afternoon as teenagers were trapped in the streets and prevented from going home, the rival gangs watched on TV what was unfolding. The cops couldn’t have predicted this — who could have? — but instead the Bloods, the Crips, the BGF flipped it. Historically. And now, here, on a ramp leading into this diner, the preposterous is happening as Scooby, 27 and a Crip, and Flex, 25 and a Blood, bond over their newfound bond.

“In what world, in what dimension, in what time,” Scooby says to Flex, “was I supposed to meet you and we’d be cool like that?” I didn’t know when I went Frederick Douglas High School earlier Wednesday morning that later in the night I’d be smoking with Bloods and Crips just before they tape a segment for a national late-night TV show. I just went to try and find someone to profile, waiting to talk to kids about what had happened on Monday, when their initial clashes with cops set in motion a violent night filled with burned-out buildings, looting, and riot porn on loop...

Jesus warned us that the last days would be very difficult for those who love God. He said many would be offended and be tempted to hate because of lawlessness. But Jesus gave us a precious promise as well. If we keep our eyes on Him, and His cross of mercy and forgiveness, we will be saved!

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended , and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise , and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound , the love of many shall wax cold . 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Gang do murder several hundred times more people than Police, maybe that is what they are proud of?

Gangs are far more effective at killing blacks compared to those amatuer honkey cracker PoPo.

Not to worry. In the not too distant future, one of the gang members will look cockeyed at another and the “dised” person will start the blood flowing again.

FINE. Pull out the cops, wall off the city, and let the utopia of gang run Baltimore demonstrate what a peaceful and loving city will rise once evil conservative whiteys are all kicked out.

Well, the Mafia thought the same thing in NY and Chicago. I guess if you want to give your city over to the likes of the Mafia and be run by the rules of organized crime (”snitches get stitches”), you’ll love this.

But the whole point of being a society under the rule of law is that people won’t have submit to having a powerful criminal band run their lives...as is done in every lawless state from Africa through the ME. And apparently, thanks to Obama and his injustice department, now in the US, where the entire black population is being turned over to the gangs and rabble rousers.
