Violence is no substitute for anger. It only brings more violence.

Learn physics 101! For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Robbing, looting, thuggery, will not get the response you might desire, but yes, it will get a response. Usually it's a criminal record, the despise of anyone harmed or violated by those actions, and more laws or police response to incite the situation even further.

And people doing these deeds wonder why there is police violence against them.

Go figure!

nobody is lumping anyone in any same boat. the father of my children is a white man. but I and a lot of other white people can see the injustices. black people and other races have suffered so long sometimes there is nowhere to turn when your backed into a corner. I myself have never seen colour as an issue its not like that is all there is, but it makes me sad to think of a son walking home and being stopped then beaten to death for nothing at all. don't get me wrong there are plenty of black people and other people of colour who are wrong doers, but when you lock someone up it should be for the crime they committed not because of their skin tone.

for every black teen or teen of colour that dies because of just one bad copper there is a negative reaction. chem 101

In addition to that strong willed mom, there was another man on Baltimore's streets last night....


"" "" While covering the riots in Baltimore,
CNN's Joe Johns caught up with a man
securing his neighborhood from agitators.
The man, a Vietnam War vet, said the
young rioters need to "have their butts
home" and be "studying."
The man, identified as Robert Valentine, is
black but said he does not consider
himself "black, white, red, yellow, or
nothing," but an American.
"I did 30 years, okay, came out a Master
Sergeant," Valentine told CNN's Joe
Johns. "I've seen more than all this. I've
been through the riots already. This right
here is not relevant. They need to have
their butts at home. They need to be in
their home units with their families
studying and doing something with their
life. Not out here protesting about
something that is not really about
nothing."
"They do not respect this young man's
death. You know. Now, mama and daddy
lost a child. That could be them. So I'm
very pissed," Valentine also said.
"I love my country," Valentine said. "I love
my Charm City. I'm an American. I'm not
black, white, red, yellow or nothing. I am
American.""

So you think police only harass and target black people?

Girl, you need to get out more!

Of course numbers will be higher in predominately black neighborhoods or cities, but the black on black crime rates are the highest numbers in the crime statistic as well.

Your thinking is flawed when you use facts

Explain why this thug's mom was out there trying to calm the protest then went off on her son for rioting. She disagrees with you. So do many people there

for my dad that went to America as a young man only to have to leave because he was beaten up countless times there is a opposite reaction chem 101

that is her son and she wants him home safe. just as I would.

And my brother had to quit a high paying job in Chicago because he was beaten and robbed 3 times in 6 months..... by young black men

So what is your point?

She was trying to stop the riot BEFORE she knew her kid was there! Other's were trying to stop it!

Did that video look like she was worried about getting him home safe? BS! She was kicking his butt back home for being a thug!

black, Hispanic, Indian etc etc etc look at the rioters black Hispanic Indian etc etc etc white people are their too. these are some facts

because she wants peace and im guessing equality.

She didn't want her kid to be a thug! Good grief!

I side with the mom that was there versus someone not even in this country. Someone posted another article where a vet said they need to get their butts home.

Would you want to raise your kids there with riots? I bet many who are actually don't either

if more people thought like this then there wouldn't be deaths like this.

It is utterly ridiculous to defend a young man who wasn't protesting, but instead was aiming to participate in criminal activity.

There have been many protests of late that were non-violent and got the beginnings they desired.

This is senseless rioting burning their own peoples homes, businesses and property.

Simple senseless thuggery! There is no message here but "Don't give us a reason/excuse!"

No! There would be peaceful and effective ways to handle things instead of riots

nobody knows what they would do if they were put in a situation where their colour was prominent in a situation, and nobody knows what they would do if they were in the shoes of somebody going through a death of a son or daughter because of police brutality. everyone can have an opinion but you just don't know what you wold do if you were on the other end of it.
