With a city on edge, business owners and residents struggle to cope with chaos in the streets.

Riots only make depressed areas more so. After the Watts riots, folks had to travel miles just to find a supermarket; the only stores left were the liquor stores. Retail stores don't rebuild once they've been burned out; the insurance is too high so they build in safer neighborhood and take the jobs with them.

[@ulyssesubias2326]

They dont realise that sadly

[@MrHonda177]

Stop demonizing riots because of riots you work 40 hours a week and anything above that Is overtime and you get the weekends also because of riots. If government refuses to listen to its people the people have every right to get their attention.

[@seanhickey7881]

idiot.

[@anthonylewis3095]

Sadly, I don’t understand why they don’t go after blue Isis domestic terrorist murderer cells, city hall, and government officials …. The people whom are actually responsible for riots!

[@MegrelMamba]

​@@MrHonda177 This riot brought nothing but pain and destruction.

[@KaraLucianna]

"We are protecting our neighborhood." -cuts to destruction and people having to clean up the mess That doesn't look much like protecting your neighborhood.

[@Ommateum]

i wonder if they thought they would actually accomplish something by rioting and destroying theyre community

[@azores15]

He (the pepper spray guy) got what was coming - and he really begged for it. I don't know why anyone is complaining.

If you want calm and peace than convict the police that killed Freddie Gray hasn't the law learned anything from south central L.A

[@Strawberrynovacane]

That’s why they’re rioting because the officer wasn’t convicted.

[@seanberthiaume8240]

And as the norm goes it's the "usual suspects"!

[@boston27]

Thank god we had Tom Brady that was used as a distraction story to take the attention off this uprising

[@PapooseSullenDove-dx9qu]

WHYYYYYYY should the few have peace and the majority always suffer and be held down?

[@calvinbealer7264]

Baltimore been a Hell Hole ever since.

[@rleebert6897]

Why do they keep reporting that Gray was "injured in police custody"?. It looks more like he was injured before he was put in the van, probably when he was being apprehended or when he was running from police.

[@datwanlivingston9380]

It don’t matter he dead we fought we had that purge

[@charge416]

[@wildcard2883]

Why are you supporting idiotic people who label themselves as “ protesters “ while destroying public and federal property, assaulting both members of the public and police officers, and burning whole blocks to ashes ruining hundreds of people’s lives. Therefore they are in fact rioters as they are overstepping their rights while inhibiting the rights of random people just trying to go through life normally.

[@johnsawyer2187]

And yet the Police still have not learned their lesson

[@remys.3132]

you know it has to be big when gangs unite for it :0

[@beagle808]

They loot & burn their supermarket then cry to the media because they can’t buy food for their children 🤪

[@PapooseSullenDove-dx9qu]

The NUBIAN youth is fed up with the status quo. But “the man’s” media is still trivializing and downplaying the seriousness of what’s going down. Y’all still don’t hear them though. Keep playing!!!

even the president didn't give a damn about Freddie

Deuteronomy 4:37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; Deuteronomy 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: Deuteronomy 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

[@alex_m1688]

It’s not just the blacks it’s everyone. Something happens to someone then a certain group gets mad. They’re all about “peacefulness” then someone happens and it becomes violent. Then they wanna complain when they get hurt, or arrested saying “no freedom of speech” when you were just throwing shit at other human beings. It doesn’t matter what THEY did it just matters what YOU do about it. Only you can make change, don’t fuck it up. :)

Also trumps fault? Or Obama?

[@jakebrown1535]

delvec2011 who’s blaming it on trump?? Most protests are centered around police brutality

[@delvec2011]

@Jake Brown I meant the media today is blaming trump for the riots currently happening. According to CNN and MSNBC every negative thing that's happening in this country is trumps fault. listen to their reports carefully. Why are all these Democrat leaders not stopping the violence in their city? They let it get out of control. But you will never hear that question on CNN or MSNBC.
