As I'm sure many of you are seeing in the news today, once again we have case of mass rioting. While Freddie Gray's death should not be overlooked (I will say have you seen his rap sheet?), this is not the place to debate it. This is about how I'm sickened by the videos of what's happening in Baltimore.
As if Ferguson wasn't enough, we have ignorant people destroying their own city. Whether you're black, white, Latino, whatever, any true American should be disgusted. What's happening isn't even protesting, these people are just being animals. As an avid baseball fan I was amazed at the footage happening right outside Camden Yards, seeing rioters throwing anything they could find at people who just showed up to watch a baseball game, and were being forced to hide in bars across the street.

I will say I don't advocate police brutality, but I feel like of you put yourself in the position to have the police come after you, you obviously aren't making any worthwhile life choices. So, to show how angry they are about it, we have ignorant people attacking fellow Americans who had nothing to do with it, destroying property and looting just because they are angry at a very minority percent that make of the police dept. I fail to see how this is a step in solving any issues. Pretty sad to see the state of America sometimes
