Rival Gangs Enter Partnership to Assassinate Baltimore Police Officers (updated 3x)

a reply to: SkepticOverlord

Yay! Martial Law, can I get a whoop whoop /sarcasm
They should remove all police from high risk areas and quarantine them with electric fences.

Everywhere I look on the internet right now, people have to make remarks about the looting. The irony is staggering.

The U.S. government and all the corporations that run it have been looting other countries and it's own citizens for years without stop.

I think that once the curfew starts and the national guard takes over is going to be a break it or leave it, some people will abide by the curfew but some will challenge the authorities, as I look at one of the groups standing in front of the police gathering there, the other group are just having a great time with music and food, the second group worries me.

I hope I'm mistaken.

You are right. We should all loot and burn our cities and our neighborhoods.

We should all ignore the rule of law. We should all exhibit ignorance, criminality, and violence in our daily lives as a matter of fact.

Aint our fault. We are all just frustrated children looking for justice, right?

I think what your saying is a logical fallacy. Whether you meant this to be sarcastic doesn't seem so on the opposite side of the spectrum. They would take it literally and deem it as its OK to do so. This is an example where someone misconstrues someones argument, and flipping it into something its not. ATS does have a history for this type of thing. Apparently this is what is going on in Baltimore someone misconstruing what someone else said.

Gangs are an organized business and get nothing out of killing cops except bringing MORE cops to them. Thats the last thing they need. It's really not about the street cred but the money. I still hate gangs by the way.

I didn't say that we should do those things and I disagree with the things you say we should do. It's not so cut and dry.

I'm saying we are judging these people so harshly when we should look at the bigger picture and consider what is done on that level. The looting done by corps and gov puts what these people are doing to shame. You can argue that the government and corporation looting is simply a byproduct of a good cause, but then you can say the same about the riots.

So your master plan is to destroy public property and act like a violent imbecile? Hmm, I am sure that will solve the problem. Did you ever think about the people who own those businesses, are they not innocent? Somehow their lives don't matter, only the gripes of others?

What about the people who work at those businesses who woke up the next day to no longer having a job, does your mindless support of this kind of behavior wish that upon them, upon their familes and their children? A lot of people live pay check to pay check you know, since you're so concerned about righteousness and all.

That is the problem you see, you excuse makers and enablers are nothing more than hypocrites. If you support this kind of behavior, why don't you get off of your rear end and get out there and support this nonsense? ~$heopleNation

How is it I suggest the correlation of the very real and serious wrongs done by the powerful governments and corporations and you escalate it to the levels of a master plan of mine to destroy all public property?

How do you even do that?

my greater source of personal concern, outrage and sympathy beyond this particular case is focused neither upon one night’s property damage nor upon the acts, but is focused rather upon the past four-decade period during which an American political elite have shipped middle class and working class jobs away from Baltimore and cities and towns around the U.S. to third-world dictatorships like China and others, plunged tens of millions of good hard-working Americans into economic devastation, and then followed that action around the nation by diminishing every American’s civil rights protections in order to control an unfairly impoverished population living under an ever-declining standard of living and suffering at the butt end of an ever-more militarized and aggressive surveillance state.

The innocent working families of all backgrounds whose lives and dreams have been cut short by excessive violence, surveillance, and other abuses of the Bill of Rights by government pay the true price, an ultimate price, and one that far exceeds the importance of any kids’ game played tonight, or ever, at Camden Yards.

Probably the most important statement I've seen from a Baltimore business leader.

Very interesting. Just saw an episode yesterday on Anthony Bourdain about the Rust Belt. See below:

First I read what you said, I quote you, and then I hit reply.

Listen, I don't like a lot of things that are going on either, but what these idiots are doing is not a solution. It's mindless chaos.

If you're going to complain about people complaining about looting, than that is what you're going to get from me, because I don't like people destroying other peoples businesses and their only way to make a living. ~$heopleNation

I know that it is not YOUR master plan by the way, but hopefully you get where I am coming from. It's not personal, this situation will probably escalate tonight though, and it's pointless. ~$heopleNation

What in the world are you talking about? There is no excuse for this. It doesn't matter what happened to anyone when the result is burning your neighbors car out. No justification for making more victims in the pursuit of "justice".

This is just a socialist rant making excuses out of a piggy back issue.

Well then now the folks that have been getting screwed by the government and corporations are now getting burnt out by their neighbors.

Well... a Little Late but if this continues and it Does Happen ... and a Major increase in crime !


I can Foresee this Happening ...
A City becoming a Prison and creating their own Worlds... with a 50ft Containment wall surrounding the city Once you go in you don't come OUT !


Escape From New York INTRO
vimeo.com...


www.youtube.com...

Narrator: In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. All bridges and waterways are mined. The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the island. There are no guards inside the prison, only prisoners and the worlds they have made. The rules are simple: once you go in, you don't come out.

a reply to: Entreri06

no one is using police as scape goats.

The rioters are using the cops as a scapegoat and blaming the cops for everything and taking no personal responsibility for their criminal acts. The media is just adding fire to the situation.

There is definitely an issue between the interaction of citizens and cops but there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides.
