    I'm wondering if this guy was hog tied and put in the van without being restrained to anything and they did as muskydan loves to brag about, bumpy ride to the station, only prob slammed their brakes and this guy went flying into the front of the van and severed his spine. My guess

    It's their actions, gambs, not necessarily what they're destroying. Still, it's their community that's being fucked up and burned. Will they help clean up, repair the damage? Help the local shop owners recoup their losses?

    As to Gray, I cannot understand how his injuries occurred but obviously, something went horribly wrong. Truly hope it comes to light and that if someone fucked up, intentionally or not, it's handled as it should be.

    I don't excuse riots. Let's look at the police's actions, though, shall we, to make this a 2-sided story. They refuse to release details of how Gray died in police care, though 80% of his spine was broken. The Baltimore PD has a rich history of brutality. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/the-brutality-of-police-culture-in-baltimore/391158/
    So, they're partly responsible here.

    They also revealed that Gray, contrary to police department policy, was not buckled into his seat in the van, which made at least three unexplained stops on its way to the police station.

    Yes, I believe I mentioned that in my post.

    Taglines are unneeded here, by the way. I think most of us have a good sense of context and intent as relates to words, and those who post them.

    Well I understand why and it's happening. And it's not a race thing, many whites have rioted after being put in bad situations. Revolutions baby.

    I beg to differ with you.
    I agree. White males generally tend to riot when their favourite sports team loses.
    Thugs in Vancouver a few years back. Thugs was the term used to describe them. It's not a race specific term- it's a behavior specific term.

    Is the mayor actually as ineffectual as she's coming off?

    Have only seen a couple of her statements.

    My elementary school had a pig named Wilbur, and a rat named Ben.

    Was great growing up a child of the 70s!

    Really hope the good folks who are as "the fuck?" as the rest of us far away, keep safe and a decent distance from the violent dipshits.

    Can someone point me to the threads about the Surf Fest riots in Cali a while back? Or how about the pumpkin fest riot in Keene, NH? Someone surely made a thread about the St,. Paddy's Day riot at UMass Amherst, right? Or how about when the Bruins defeated the Canucks in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals? Or after PC won the NCAA frozen four for the national championship in college hockey? Someone must have been just as outraged, no?

    It's pathetic that businesses being damaged produce exponentially more outrage from your average white observer than systematic mistreatment and murder of young blacks at the hands of police.

    There wasn't half this much anger in the thread about the 12 year old who was murdered by an officer while playing with a toy gun.

    Of course, they come out in droves to denounce with angry vigor those thugs who ravage their communities!

    Not.
