Some see differences between perceptions of Waco, Baltimore

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

What about the people in Baltimore being given "plenty of room to riot and destroy"? How many whites are given this latitude? There were over 180 arrests made in one day. How many arrests were made over the one week period of rioting in Baltimore? Was it more than 200?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/about-80-people-arrested-in-baltimore-turmoil-freed-after-time-runs-out/2015/04/29/db85e064-eea7-11e4-8666-a1d756d0218e_story.html

About 80 people who were arrested during protests and rioting that have roiled the city of Baltimore were released late Wednesday after spending two days in jail without ever being formally charged, and in many cases without ever being told why they had been taken into custody.

By Wednesday as officers struggled to complete the paperwork needed to charge more than 100 people who had been detained since the unrest began, officials began releasing most of them.

As for the bolded part, here's a question. Do you think black people would be given the same latitude if they were to riot in a PWN(predominately white neighborhood)? The cops didn't care since Baltimore is mostly black, just like Ferguson, just like Watts, just like LA when Rodney King was beaten. See the pattern?

The pumpkin riots that happened? No one was talking about thugs and how white people destroy their own neighborhood. No one rolled in there with tanks and was pepper spraying folks. And that happens yearly from what I read.

I disagree, I think there would be riots going on right now. The riots come from people who are out of control and have no respect for themselves or anyone else. They riot because they are allowed to riot.

If that is true, why hasn't there been a riot in Chicago this weekend?

So less than half the amount of people were arrested in Baltimore and most of them were released? Where's the cries for justice here? That's an outrage and a miscarriage of justice!

I don't care where the riot is taking place or who is doing it, no one should ever be given the latitude to do it. I've expressed here many times how despicable I think rioting is.

The pumpkin riot was another short term event, less than one day. Again people were arrested and things were taken care of. there was no need for tanks or riot gear, the people involved were arrested and the crowds dispersed. There are no businesses burned to the ground, and no towns in ruin. The pumkin riot doesn't hold a candle to Ferguson or Baltimore.

Black Privilege is real

[spookyturtle 9,465]

OK, let's keep it simple. White men are responsible for their crimes when they commit them. They are also responsible for any crime a black man commits because anything a black man does is because of something a white man did. White men are responsible for the actions of every human on earth.

There, I said it.

Sounds like Gitmo. We brought lots of folks there but couldn't really ever figure out why.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Wild Wild West shootout that was over in an hour and only the bad guys are dead. No riots afterwards and no towns are in ruin. Everything is back to normal today.

People 'protesting".

Except for the hit out on the police.

Those biker gangs have a lot of really bad people in them. Are you comparing that to the riots?

Have you seen Baltimore's police force? I'm surprised they caught that many. And second, there's a difference between rioting and committing murder with a deadly weapon. Just saying.

Looks like some damage was done to me....

Also you're right, it doesn't hold a candle to either town. The difference being one was happening because of police brutality and injustice, and the other was, well, why did they tear up that town? What were they mad about again?

I don't remember the rioters shooting and killing each other....

I'm not attempting to downplay or justify those pumpkin riots, they were dangerous and stupid. But they did not rise anywhere near the level of either Baltimore or Ferguson.

You are attempting to justify unlawful actions because people are mad? There is no justification for rioting in my world.

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

That's because it's no big deal unless they need to compare it to something else. 47 people were shot, 2 were killed. One lady was shot at a funeral. Go figure. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/05/18/2-killed-47-wounded-in-weekend-shootings/

If that were true, we'd hear more about "white on white" crime.
