Smoke filled the air as police responded with shields and a tactical vehicle. Demonstrators pelted officers with rocks, bricks and bottles and assaulted a photojournalist, and officers fired back with tear gas and pepper balls.

CNN is doing a good job - very few commercials. Fox has that jackass Shepard Smith so I just can’t bring myself to watch it.

When the fire department arrived to put out the fire burning at the CVS store, their fire hoses were cut.

don’t want to offend the centrist element with my 100% REAL thoughts on what should be done. Hint: it involves the national guard and lots of ammo.

The centrist will side with those who demand law and order.

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, “Forget the night
Live with us in forests of Azure
Out here on the perimeter, there are no stars
Out here we is stoned immaculate”

Why hasn’t this newspaper called for deployment of National Guard and/or
State Troopers to restore law and order?

I saw that live. A masked coward with what looked like a box cutter jumped forward (no police protecting the firemen or the hoses) and put huge gashes in the hose. No one did anything.

If they wanted to crush this demonstration/riot they could do it in half a day. They don't.

The National Guard has been activated. Maryland State Police are there... along with other jurisdictions as far away as Montgomery County. Prince George county pd is there, too... for any Marylander, that in itself tells you how this is way out of hand.

This is going to galvanize a Republican vote in 2016.

In times like this, with violence like this, Nixon gets elected.

And Nixon was a centrist Democrat compared to Cruz and Reagan...
