Is Baltimore the new Ferguson?
http://cnnuslive.cnn.com/Event/Baltimore_Riot?Page=0
Yesterday, the Baltimore Orioles played the White Socks in a game that will be written in the record books...because there were no fans at the game. Is is due to the frighting death of 25-year old named Freddie Gray who dies of an unexplained spinal cord injury. This sparked rioting, which was peaceful at first and then it quickly escalated into a violent brawl resulting in 10 arrests. Because of this Maryland’s gov. declared a state of emergency, called in the National Guard, and the city’s mayor set a curfew. This sparked such a wave that even president Obama spoke out on this matter saying that the U.S. has to do some sole searching over the pattern of black deaths recently. Also, that everyone in the riot were thugs and criminals. This connects to Ap Gov because it relates to the constitution on the matter of freedom to assembly and the court case Brandenburg Vs. Haze.
Good article. It is strange that no one would attend a MLB game,though.
ReplyDeleteIn reply to harper..not really, who goes when there isn't rioting. (Joking). But really, cmon guys destroying your city and economy isn't inciting justice or reform, just lost money and damage to your community. Most of those rioters probably don't vote., statistically speaking.
ReplyDeleteGreat job man. I also agree that it's okay to protest but violence is never okay
