Baltimore Council Pres Calls for Peacefull Protests

For the record.....

Similarly, City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young issued a statement decrying "pockets of ruffians" who marred an otherwise peaceful demonstration and asking "anyone not interested in peacefully seeking justice to please leave our city." He also thanked the protesters who tried to intervene when others started to break the law.
"We all have a constitutional right to peacefully assemble and protest," he said in a statement. "But we do not, however, have a right to visit destruction and harm upon the innocent," said Sunday in a statement.

Bernard Young.

“I am asking all of you out there looting to stop it. Please stop it. It’s hurting the city of Baltimore in more ways than one. We you loot the CVS store that means that your relatives who work in those stores can’t go to work, so they can’t get paid. There’s a ripple effect. This has gone from being a protest to rioting. This is not the protesters. These are people rioting and destroying property and looting. We have to put an end to it.”

Some are skeptical of the outside agitator influence. However after Ferguson, Baltimoreans are really horrified that outsiders will lead and control the riots. Horrified or not they are certainly concerned with many leaders speaking out for peace and not vengeance but justice.

The sad thing is that folks are listening these days and the violence simply unnecessary.

Sadly it doesn't take much for the manipulators to get the simpleminded to do their work, it only takes a few to start a chain reaction, the manipulators once the reaction takes effect leave those behind to do the damage.

Is something that is done before, even our government had a practice of that when it comes to start something in other countries.

But as usual it falls under conspiracies.

Yea and here we all are looking for the agitators on the ground when all anyone has to do is turn on the TV!

Calls for orderly protest are giving way to calls for "free stuff" and large fires.

and a mayor who admitted in a press conference that she asked the Baltimore Police Department to “give those who wished to destroy space to do that.”

I listened to that several times and her meaning was that they had inadvertently given the rioters room.

Well lets see....we have a black female mayor, a black city council president and a well know civil rights minister calling for order........and dam if the folks will listen.

Folks don't trust these black city leaders can even get to the truth of the matter? Don't give a dam anyway? Wont even listen to the president?

And we have always been taught that more minority representation is what is needed.

I am sure that agitators has been within the same leaders that were sitting in the nice suits during the funeral services than latter were coming forward to try to stop what is obviously too late to stop, top that with the inactions of the mayor, let no forget also that is always those that looks for the opportunity of chaos to do push for other agendas, looking closely at the whole situation it seems like the desire result has been achieved, perhaps no all by mistake.

You would think Democrat voters would at least listen to fellow Democrats.

Puzzling.

Well apparently the rioters are Obamas little darling wayward sons. He said the officers and guard shouldn't be sent in to put the thing down.......because we need to understand these youth better, where they came from and secure opportunity for them. Is that like ISIS being unemployed or something?

Anyway thats what The Great Society was supposed to fix. They have been using this excuse for decades and really believe americans are still buying it. That the behavior is not criminal but some sort of frustration at economic conditions ect, ect. Anyway no one is buying it. Obama is spozed to be cutting edge smart but just goes to the old playbook here. Poor things just need to be understood and helped. Wow.

One more thing.......Crips and Bloods ect are being praised for calling a truce to face the mutual threat. Well thats comical in itself for any number of reason but how many native sons have these boys put in a pine box? 1000s. Home many kids had been killed in their crossfire?

This sort of thing makes these black leaders look like rank fools and hypocrites. Mixed up anyway.

Tonight is going to be very interesting as you can see by the live feed that is some groups that are not very happy with the police and national guard in there, you can see them standing in front of the police as it challenging.
