I am looking at my cellphone and seeing the cellphone view of someone on the other side of the country in real time. What a fucking time to be alive.
My mom daid her office window got busted out.
Yeah, there is some dumb shit happening.
If yhey don't run amok and break shit, how will people know how passionate they are about the cause?
I just see a pudgy guy patting himself on the back for being at a thing
what happened before this?
Mass shenanigans.
I like the KILL VIOLENCE sign.

One protester broke out the window of a police cruiser, grabbed a police hat inside and wore it while standing on top of the cruiser with several other protesters.
The hat really sells it.

2. Mobtown
The Mobtown nickname was bestowed on Baltimore because of how quickly the city would find an excuse to riot. Some sources trace the nickname back shortly after the American Revolution, when an angry mob captured a newspaper baron at his home. The earliest known reference to the nickname found in "The Baltimore Sun" archives dates back to 1838—but one must keep in mind the archives begin in 1837.
1968 or 2015. Hard to tell this evening.
2015

False flag or no, I am very concerned for the people of Baltimore.

This could get really, really bad.
There are tactical squads on the streets with m16s and live ammo now.
edit: PG County is sending cops.
Mondawmin Mall shut down because of the protests. Malls don't just shut down nowadays.
Reports that police have opened fire on crowds on the West side. WHY IS THE FUCKING NEWS NOT COVERING THIS
I guess you're not local anymore. Saturday and Sunday they only showed the violence perpetrated by the protestors. It's not in their best interest to show the cops firing on them.
Cops just gassed a bunch of high school kids.
I'm talking about this shit happening right now. It's apparently real deal.Quote:

Montgomery County cops now on the way to the city.
I know. I know why it's not being covered, but it's fucking disappointing.Quote:

Sure, to us, but we know what kind of moxie the talking heads in this town have.Quote:

Chill Winston! This is Baltimore, not fluffy Seattle.
CBS finally fucking on the scene: http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/show/c...re-live-video/
Baltimore is my home, motherfucker. I just live in Seattle.Quote:

That's my concern.
What's funny is I learned of this first through RT news.

This is all kinds of fucked up.
When I was doing my exercising at my parent's place, I wound up watching RT at least as often as the C Spans, if not more so. I probably would take the time to tune into that station here at home if I had the means to do so.
At times it does feel like they have an exaggerated "the US is the worst world power of all time" angle (and all of their fluff pieces on Russia are about its culture and usually never about its politics), but these kind of stories don't help the counter argument.
Wall-to-wall coverage up on CBC here.
View on the ground. http://rt.com/on-air/violence-baltimore-freddie-gray/
Police giving a statement to the press right now. Seven officers "severely injured".
Police car torched.
The Crips are protecting one of Baltimore's more punk rock journalists right now. https://twitter.com/justin_fenton/st...96294005051392
Just a reminder that this is America in 2015.
The racism on display in the comments sections of various Baltimore news articles is astounding.
I didn't know white people were still openly like that.
Dude it's the internet. Actual racists get to say how they really feel with the protection of anonymity, plus tons of kids raised on South Park and the like are playing pretend racist because they think anyone getting offended by anything is hilarious and racism is the easiest button to push for that, and it's usually impossible to tell which is which or what the ratio is.Quote:

It's the only way to be sure.
Maybe...the police and local government should stop being dicks?
It goes both ways. They're throwing shit at the firefighters trying to come in and contain the fire... what the fuck is that shit?
Firefighters are part of the white man's system, maaannn
And they're fucking cutting the fire hose? The fuck is wrong with these people.
I want to be watching it, as it's pretty much in my back yard, but we don't want lily seeing it.
Chux - good parent
bbobb - the only real solution is to desolve the police and fire departments and let the gangs run Baltimore, Monrovia style.
Same shit happened in LA after the King verdict.
When people are angry, they are not rational.
We got the scoop from Snoop on CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/27/us/bal...est/index.html
they just cut away from her interview to a home depot commercial (which is great if you've seen the wire) and came back to something else. She was getting down on the police when it happened btw
30 minutes 'till sundown and a 30% chance of rain. It's about to get real or they all go inside like Memphis.
This sort of thing makes my dick incredibly hard. I'm waiting until nightfall before I get too excited. I've been hurt before.
BALTIMORE: NIGHTFALL

Saw a live feed and looked away because I was getting sad as fuck.
GUYS SERIOUSLY http://twitter.com/sputniknewsus/sta...20850711207938
That guy is my new favorite person.
I want to be like him when I grow up.
the Mayor is taking softball questions right hurr. http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/show/c...re-live-video/
So I guess you picked a good time to move to Seattle , this shit is insane, I don't see the city recovering from all this for a long time.
I actually have very mixed feelings about not being there right now.

Josh: Re: Rep: Wooooooooooord.
Don't you feel like you wouldve been a target if you got too close to the action? I've seen video of random white people getting pummeled by trash cans and shit. Also do you feel the cops are to blame for beating the shit out of black people in Baltimore for generations? It feels like this Freddie Gray shit was just the last straw.Quote:

I'd chance it, tbh. There are not enough people streaming.Quote:

Plus it doesn't help women are actively going out to the riots and trying to steal black peoples purses and tossing chairs in the air.

Like I said, the police need to be dissolved and leave safety to these guys (if they are the real United Gang Force the cops are scared of and not just cosplayers).

The Crips are currently holding down a safe zone for some of the press.
What's your take on the Mondawmin mall, seems like it's got a rich history going back to the riots of 1968, Wikipedia already references the 2015 Baltimore riot which is crazy. Also, any chance this fixes the problems with the bmore police?
Note the tip of the bottle that dude has..
I bought the hottest pair of Asics at that mall. That's all I've got.
Not a chance.Quote:

It's like that old saying: The more things change, the more they stay the same. Humans have been fucking over each other for several millennia. We're a fucked up, barely conscious organism that's doomed to kill itself. Seeing burning cop cars is one thing. That's aimed at those you have a legit gripe with. I get it (although I don't necessarily agree with it), but after watching people loot and eventually set aflame a CVS, and hearing reports of local mom and pop stores getting looted so the rioters can get their dibs, that kinda pisses me off. Imo, there was obvious use of excessive force by the police. They broke a kid's neck while arresting him and are trying to cover it up. There must be justice, but once people go ape shit credibility is lost. It just perpetuates the circle of violence and nothing gets resolved. It's not like the 60's when black people had no voice and were fighting for their rights to go to school and eat at the same table as white people. Things are different. I 'd say they have a larger voice with people willing to listen. But as that old saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.Quote:

Any word on the state of the horseshoe casino? That place was a shit show before the riot
I hope it gets looted to fuck and burned to the ground.
I was so fucking happy to see that payday loans/check cashing place get looted
The April O'Neil coat gives me a bone.Quote:
