Baltimore and the Riots

     I do hope that the next mayoral election in Baltimore sends Stephanie Rawlings-Blake out of office.  What person in her position would actually advocate to ALLOW for a destruction zone of her city is beyond my comprehension.  Shame on you for even suggesting this and advocating these actions.  You won nothing by doing so. How on Earth you make it through the next election will be beyond my understanding of all things rational.  Of all things "boneheaded", that one was a whopper.
     Let's talk to all of the violent protesters out there.  You are a stereotypical havoc on our society.  There is nothing impressive with what you are doing, and know that your wild actions will NOT change a thing.  It is imperative that you find in your heart that what you are doing would never even be endorsed by MLK Jr.  Every item you steal, store you ransack and projectiles you hurl at an officer is a direct contradiction to the kind of change people before fought and died for.  
     For the Sharpton's and Jackson's out there who parade themselves as "civil rights" leaders, you guys are frauds.  You know it, and I know it.  If you did not show up to things like this and stir up the masses, then you would become irrelevant.  I am pretty sure that you guys see the writing on the wall where you are no longer needed very soon, and I am sure that's terrifying.  After all, this kind of nonsense is how you guys have power and wealth.  
     I am going to say something here that has been needed to be said for a long time now.  I am partly blaming this entire mess going on, on the media.  Mainly those of the large networks.  What you "journalists" are doing is sensationalizing headlines, and not reporting news.  You are, for the sake of ratings and or social media activity, reporting on the headline grabbing material and not reporting the meat and potatoes of the story any more.  You are in effect causing people to focus on their emotions, and letting all reason out the window.  It's time that media outlets start telling us the full story and not just what is going to get the headlines.  Report BOTH sides, not just bits and pieces.  It's getting old.
     Go home.  All of you who do not live in the city of Baltimore, just go home.  Parents you need to be parents and keep your kids out of the streets.  I commend the woman who was recorded slapping her child who was participating in the riots.  Bravo!  You are what kids need more of!  I hope you get your own talk show from this, too!  Remove the emotional jump reaction we all have to news stories, folks.  Learning how to investigate before reacting is a skill, a very valuable one.  For now, since we cannot remove emotions and hear all sides before passing judgement, make sure you all read the whole story before jumping.  Justice will come.  If it isn't in this lifetime, it will be the next.
