I’m not sure what happened to Gray, and frankly that seems like a very suspicious situation, but this is not how to handle it at all.

So the detain the law abiding, against their will, and allow the lawless to roam free? When will average citizens rise up?

Were they afraid the 36,000 fans might beat up the rioters?

I think 36,000 people should be able to take on a few hundred.

And after all that, the O's are in last place, two games behind the first place

and two other teams of no necessary distinction.

Well, they could have used their freedom to go out on the streets and been beaten to death by the mob. Just show their freedom and independence.

Amazing that 70% of the time any story potentially embarrassing to the Democrats ends up being published FIRST by the British press.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia a white policeman shot by a black drug dealer was released from the hospital today - fortunately the cop was shot only in his arm - he would have been killed probably, but the perp’s gun jammed - I’m waiting with great anxiety for the riots to begin.......

Why did the Baltimore Police allow this violence?

Like Ferguson, no police crackdown so thugs run wild.
