Protestors threaten to 'shut down' Baltimore

[T2C]

I would like to know the specific charge that Freddie Gray was arrested for, because I haven't seen or heard it mentioned in media coverage.

Where did this crazy driving theory come from?

So, when a white dude gets killed by a police officer, it'll be cool when thousands of white people "shut down" a city, loot stores for free shit, burn down homes and businesses, and maybe kill a few people of their own, right?
No??

So what cities are we going to "shut down" and when are we going to "Burn this bitch down" over videos like this?

The chief of police himself mentioned it.

No, I disagree 110%. "Peaceful protest" involves "airing it out" so to speak, but when you cross the line into intrusion into other's affairs it's a NO-GO.

Exactly. I can see if you are running some organized parade, but these people cementing themselves to drums and laying on highways are a bozo no-no. They only get away with it because they do it in Democratic bastions and the DAs won't charge them as they should.

I saw some videos of these mobs and I couldn't believe that it was America. You want to prove that the 2a isn't about hunting, pair those videos with police saying that they don't have the legal obligation to protect individual citizens. I wonder if people from places like Rhodesia and other former colonies in Africa see any similarities between what happened there and these kinds of mob actions.

So they DEMAND the arrest of the officers before the investigation is even complete. Last I checked, you can't make a demand unless you have some kind of force to back it up. I'm sorry, commies, but if you want us to take you seriously, you're going to have to try terrorism. I'm just thankful that most of the left is too spineless to do that. They're a bunch of overgrown babies who think stomping their feet and DEMANDING their way is going to get them what they want.

I'm going to need a translation of the above cause it sounds to me like you're suggesting that the only way you're going to take a protester seriously is if they resort to violence. I'm obviously misunderstanding your post.

Seems like the usual asshats are converging on Baltimore and turning what could very well be a righteous protest of the idiotic actions of a few police officers into a mindless destructive mob. They will take a moment where they could have united people and turn it into a divisive event that will marginalize them. More useful idiots they couldn't be if they tried.

When is something like this going to happen in Texas in a predominately white neighborhood?
