Obama Press Conference: "We As a Country Need to do Some Soul-Searching;" Some Police "Aren't Doing The Right Thing"
On now, essentially validating the rioters.
Another point: As usual, Obama acts as if he is simply a commentator or blogger. He speaks about the riots as if his role is entirely one of analysis or to provide inspiration. I didn't hear him say anything about taking action to actually stop the rioters. He does say that those stealing aren't "making a statement," but are merely stealing. Oh God -- he's claiming that the media (and society) are to blame, because "one burning building" is put on a "loop" on news shows, whereas the people "doing the right thing" weren't shown on TV. Yes, Obama, the media should focus on the people doing the normal things they're supposed to do. Update: It's all Republicans' fault, says Obama.Obama says "much my agenda” Congress won’t pass includes solutions for urban communities struggling with poverty, crime and fear of police

Is the right thing NOT running from police, NOT looting, NOT being dependent on govt handouts.
What about black on black crime? Where are the riots and "peaceful" protests when an innocent black child is shot by a stray bullet from thugs?

I still think the jury is out as to whether the police did anything wrong. They took down a guy, without excessive force, who then complained of pain. Gray had/has lead poisoning as a child which causes osteoporosis which means his bones are brittle and will fracture.
So, once again, obama picks sides without all the facts.

If you're at all familiar with the history of CVS, it was started in Woonsocket, RI way back when.
Woonsocket was home to a huge number of Cannucks (French-Canadians) who came to work in the mills.
When I was a kid we called it "Cannuck Value Stores."

You can't win. If they show up, the story is overwhelming force, if they follow their stupid mayor and just stand around, the story is how they dont care about black neighborhoods being burned down.

Yeah, this could have been nipped in the bud on Saturday. But instead the mayor gives them room to destroy and it morphs in to this.
Like the Broken Windows theory -- people saw looting and rioting going on with impunity on Saturday, so they decided to get in on the fun on Monday.
If the video had been of people getting arrested in droves on Saturday, I have a feeling most people would have decided to just stay home on Monday.

You can't even call it the "Baltimore mindset" because we saw it in Ferguson and... that town where Traytable got himself shot.
To some degree, I even understand it. The stuff you can reach is in your own neighborhood, so that's what you demolish first.

I genuinely thought his appeal would only last if he remained a post-racial President. I was certain if he ever became Jesse Jackson the country would turn on him in a big way.
FWIW, I think Americans that aren't that political are getting really sick of it just from anecdotes I've seen and hear from non-political people, but it doesn't seem to be resonating in the polling.

It was a big block party.
Look on instagram.
People dancing, blasting music, drinking stolen liquor, and breaking shit. Looked like a frat party gone wild.
The helicopter view looked much more like a war zone. Street view looked like a bunch of opportunistic looters getting drunk and breaking shit.
Arrest them. Easy solution.
NYPD seems to be very good at controlling these types of things, I don't know why everyone else walks around with their dicks in their hands and ends up having to call the national guard and institute a city wide curfew because shits poppin off in the hood.

People, especially many Whites, want to demonize the participants of the Baltimore uprisings because they need to negate the black experience - especially with the police, but also with society in general - that functioned as the catalyst of these events.
A colleague of mine who is a WoC put it very succinctly and poetically: Whites are often blinded by their whiteness as if it was driven snow strongly reflecting the sunlight. And so we wear sunglasses, that warp our vision of blackness.

That would've been Sanford, just up the road from me.
They did no rioting, but a lot of protesting. Everyone, and by "everyone" I mean each and every person I know who lives up there, was prepared to defend themselves.
And the rioters knew it. Hence, no destruction.

My moneys on Chicago or DC.
Both are really poor cities with tiny areas of fabulously wealthy white people.
And you hear the race baiters -- "why are you burning down YOUR OWN neighborhoods COUGH COUGH"
So I'm guessing next target will be a city full of poor minorities who are close enough to rich white liberals to be able to burn down THEIR neighborhoods.

In Brown's later assessment, it was the Baltimore riot that pushed the two sides over the edge into full-scale war, because then was shed the first blood in a conflict between the North and the South; then a step was taken which made compromise or retreat almost impossible; then passions on both sides were aroused which could not be controlled.

The problem is not a lack of police. The problem is too much policing.
When six police have time to arrest one perp with a knife ... we have too many. Conversely ... when we have enough police to protect looters from vigilantism ... we have too many.
And so ... You get Baltimore, and Ferguson, and more to come. Too many cops too concerned with protecting rioters from John Q Property Owner.
We have a Police State ... and the Police are not on our side. Not when the chips are down. Knowing that ... I want LESS Police. Not more.

I thought they sacked at least one convenience store or something.
But your point is quite on point: even from what I (think I) remember, in Sanford it was a day or two, and then it was done- largely because everyone is armed.
Which brings me back to what I said earlier: see a looter, shoot a looter. If the city and State will not step in to defend you and your property, you must do so yourself.

I believe it. I watched the mayors presser on Sunday (IIRC) when she said they were giving the rioters space to destroy.
I watched the helicopter feed. The cops just stood there. For hours. Letting CVS get looted. They didnt move in until the CVS was fully engulfed in flames. Even then, they didnt break up the looters, just made a line around the fire trucks.
I'm sure the cops themselves would have much preferred to arrest everyone and go home instead of standing there getting rocks thrown at them and watching people loot a store.

Oh yeah. The guys pulling up cars to the back of the store were probably the gang banger neighborhood drug dealers loading up on free pills to resell.
Yeah, let that idiot loot skittles and toilet paper. We've got tens of thousands of dollars worth of narcotics back here to steal.

President Obama could have done so much to improve race relations even
further during his time in office. But he is doing what he can to make
things a lot worse, while being able to maintain plausible deniability
for the easily deceived.
Despicable.
He could yell at the protesters and tell them to stop, what the hell
is wrong with you, are you animals? But no, it's the police's fault.
Never mind that the police are supposed to protect the actual black
innocents who are having their property destroyed and their lives
endangered.

____________________________
What bullshit. Blacks get killed by incompetent, poorly-trained police. So do whites -- at twice the rate of blacks. You don't see white communities rioting and burning down cities and looting and stealing. You don't even see any media coverage when a white person is killed or maimed by cops. It's not an "outrage" unless it happens to a black person.
And as far as the shitty economy, that is also largely the fault of blacks themselves. They are the ones who voted Barack Obama into the presidency. Barack Obama, who threw open our borders and unilaterally legalized millions of low-skill illegal aliens. Barack Obama, who appointed an Attorney General who testified that illegal aliens have a "right" to U.S. jobs. Barack Obama, who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of companies like Apple, Google, GE, banks, etc., -- all of whom have outsourced millions of American jobs to cheaper overseas markets. It is also Barack Obama and his like-minded idiots in the Democratic party who have done everything in their power (and much beyond their power) to stifle U.S. domestic energy production (which creates jobs).
So don't whine to me about the "black experience." What blacks are experiencing are the results they asked for, voted for, and continue to vote for. If they don't like what is happening to them, then they need to get up off their asses and work to change things -- not loot and riot and steal. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior, and Americans -- of every color and ethnicity -- are fed up with blacks' whiny self-pity and feral criminality.

There were more cops than rioters in every video feed I saw. The cops were just standing in a line a block away.
I would be surprised if there were more than 200 looters / rioters in total. And most of them were probably just being opportunistic ("oh shit, everything at CVS is FREE?!?! Honey, get the car, lets go!").
Arrest a few dozen of the more aggressive agitator types calling for revolution and holding up the black power fist and it would have dispersed.
Theoretically. No way to know for sure, I guess.

Replace low income Black workers with massive influx of illegal aliens.
Relegate Blacks to permanently angry, government-dependent underclass confined to their own burned-out" reservations" - example: Detroit, and "space to destroy" Baltimore.
Use Blacks as reliable vote-slaves and occasional battering ram for socialist policies.
Nice future, suckers and it's all being shepherded by Obama.
Posted by: naturalfake at April 28, 2015 01:45 PM (0cMkb)
Screw what you think they "wanted to do". If they are actively protecting the rioters then they have chosen their side in this fight. They don't have to follow bad orders. They should just stay home, or defy orders and start enforcing the law. Bad cops are always worse than no cops.

Oh come on, you know its not about Gray... or the police... or anything other than black people hating "whitey" and trying to start race wars. Race hustlers like Al Sharpton make millions off this stuff and love to stoke the flames.
Thats why its "black lives matter" and not "citizen lives matter". White people get killed and abused by the cops all the time too, but these blacklivesmatter types don't give a shit. They'd rather ruin "white peoples" brunch.

Obama Hussein is the name
And I served on the ACORN train
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of 'One Five
We were angry, just barely alive
By April the 28th, Balto had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well
The night we burnt old Whitey down
And the bells were ringing
The night we burnt old Whitey down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"

"they could use Guiliani right now"
They sure could, but sadly someone like that could never get elected in Baltimore. In NYC, the white libs and union Dems voted for Guiliani in 1993 becuase they were terrifiedat howDinkins handled the Crown Heights riots. That demographic does not exist in suffficient numbers in Baltimore.
It's really too bad since there are some nice places to go in Baltimore and the good people will suffer.

Yes..., I AM an idiot.
Voting to STOP debate on her confirmation was betrayal of those who voted for me.
Burr and Tillis were among the nine Republicans who defected to the Lynch side on the cloture vote, so it is crystal clear that they really did not want to stop her. They are just pulling the wool over voters eyes, figuring the media would talk only about the final vote. Both of them knew the rules and they knew exactly what they were doing when they betrayed the GOP voters back home on the Lynch nomination.
