Did you expect the demonstrations over Freddie Gray's death to give way to violent rioting and looting in Baltimore?

    The burning looting and destroying of people property was complete ignorance I grw up in the
    same type of neihborhoods drugs crime, and so on My mother was a great woman who raised
    us to be respectful, she taught good morals and priciples, she loved us, we did not have much
    but we had each other, neihbors, friends, teachers, etcs.. so to say that the roits is ok is
    ridiculous! and those who go along with this are part of the problem, there are more
    opportunies for black now then there has ever been, stop the Blamr Game

    I expected the riots, I expected the people from that neighborhood to burn their city, our city, to the ground. They are sick of tired of the police brutility and they are sick and tired of watching our leaders build up the inner harbor while leaving our inner city neighborhoods to rot. I grew up in Sandtown Winchester and so did my parents, my grandparents, and their parents. My grandparents watched the neighborhood go from an neighborhood well known for Jazz to an neighborhood known for drugs, crime, and proverty. It does sadden me that they are burning the city down while looting but what do you expect them to do? Go to a town hall meeting and trust in the leaders of this city when the leaders are the people who killed Freddie?.... the leaders are the people that took the rec centers out of that neighborhood because they said they could not afford to keep it open. Try to help them and mean it. While watching the news last night and listening to Hogan and Blake it made me wonder if they wanted the Baltimoreans to burn the city to the ground because there is underlined grant money/ government funding from the White House for situations like this.
