baltimore protests across the country

[missmuffet]

tearing the town apart.....      out of 50,000 structures in that city they set fire to 15......      not exactly tearing the town apart....          tragic for a very few, yes......     but tear the town apart???         watching CNN one would have thought so until one realizes that they showed the same two buildings burning for two and a half days....

 

 

ten to fifteen thousand people protest and about a hundred or so riot and loot......    and most of them were arrested before it was over....

 

 

 

I still say the media is blowing this all out of proportion and destroying any sympathy that we might have for a dead man.....   and it's kind of sad.

I do not think anyone should make the destruction seem slight even if they set fire to one building that is not ok.We can not underestimate the damage those thugs are doing.

but if we let the CNN's blow it all out of proportion, it's going to spread to other places.....   actually it already is.

Other One, when it is your business that gets torched,  when it is your life that goes up in smoke, it's not being blown out of proportion.

 

These lootings are a big deal.  They are not just a few people doing these things. 

 

Give me number...  How many people have to suffer and lose their jobs before you think it's a big deal???

We are used to the concept with big and small tornadoes.....      One accepts the one or two houses that are taken out by an F-1 tornado, but do not carry on like it wipped out a whole city.....    of course it's a disaster for those very few that are affected and we strive to help them, but we don't make a huge issue as was in Moore twice in the last ten or so years where it took out thousands of homes.

If you spent time on CNN, one would think that the looters destroyed a whole town and in reality they showed the same two buildings for over two days.....    that kind of thing whipps up a lot of resentment and makes people angry along with them in other cities....   some agreeing with them and others against.     It just further divids the country by stirring emotions that should not be stirred up.

I don't want to sound conspiritorial, but it is moving the mindset of our general population into a more divided nature and will help split and bring down our civilization......   which the progressives have been trying to do for as long as I've been alive and longer.  

 

Any time we blow these things out of proportion, it is a very big deal.

It's leading to the same kind of thing that happened in Tulsa Oklahoma back in the early 1920's; only on a national scale....

I don't think anything is being blown out of proportion at all.    Hundred of people are out of work now, thanks to these morons.   They have burned out and destroyed businesses that hired black people in Baltimore.   You are only looking at this from the vantage point of the number of looters.   I am looking at this from the wider scope of what this is costing the city in injured policemen, in lost revenue  and the loss of jobs.

 

You have people who's place of business was destroyed and they may not recover anyway soon and their employees are out of jobs.  CVS is considering not rebuilding their store.  You have the people who have already lost jobs because these criminals blocked intersections and kept people living their lives.  Then there is the cost to city to clean up what the rioters destroyed.   Look at the lost revenue when no one showed up at the Orioles' game.

 

This is a big deal for a lot of people.  And these riots weren't just a one small area.  It may not have been the whole city but it wasn't just a small area.   They are showing more than just one or two buildings.  I see the coverage too, and you are trying diminish what is a really big problem and if we treat this like isn't that big of a deal, it only gives them space to grow and create bigger riots.
