Protests to demand answers in the case of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man died in Baltimore Police custody last week, descended into chaos on Saturday night.

After a few hours of peaceful demonstrations, scores of rowdy protesters crowded outside Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox in ten innings.

Watch the old HBO series The Wire and you get a real life like idea of Baltimore. I can guess the city is even worse now. The Braves are moving away from the ghetto in Atlanta so in time the Orioles will have to do the same.

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

Yep - they should have forewarned them of the situation and opened the gates -- while playing a rendition of "Who Let the Dogs Out"....

Justice Allah, ............30, who is with Black Lawyers for Justice, said the goal of the protest is to call attention to the problem of killings by police officers.

“We’re tired of this, what is going on with this police department,” Allah said. “We’re tired of our mayor turning a blind eye.

Tried watching “The Wire” once for about 5 minutes. I could not follow the dialogue because of the way the show was produced — horrendous sound quality. In addition, I was not about to subject myself to the disgusting language, which, of course, came through loud and clear.

“The season is young........very young”

At first read I thought you were talking about the rioting.

If we have a hot summer with blackouts (no pun intended) in major cities it’s gonna get real interesting.

Last I heard, Camden Yards is not a police station.

The disgusting language portrays real life where the n word and f bombs are in every other sentence. That is an accurate portrayal of the public housing yutes and drug gangs in Baltimore and elsewhere.

Yes, it is a local story, but the response is part of a nationwide attempt to gin up the race war.
