Unfortunately the rioters in Baltimore playing into the ultra-rightwing hands [View all]

No matter how bad the police are doing their job, when the community rises up into violence and destruction...they are playing into the script that the utlra conservatives want to see.....fanning the flames of racial unrest and de-legitimatizing the unjust treatment of Law Enforcement.....foxnews will have a field day and once the National Guard goes active, real pay back could be coming....

Hoping for calmer heads to prevail
