The city of Baltimore has become the latest flashpoint in the growing problem of racial unrest. The violence was triggered by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man, who suffered a fatal neck injury while in police custody.
Contrary to the agenda that liberals are attempting to peddle, the rioting in Baltimore is not another example of America’s curse of racism. Just like with the city of Detroit, Democrats solely and completely own this problem. In 2012, President Obama got nearly 90% of the Baltimore city vote. Democrats have run the unions, schools, and the police force since 1967 (the last time the city had a Republican Mayor).
The most common solution being proposed to quell the unrest is more federal money. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said, “We have to invest in making sure that we have proper infrastructure and proper housing so that we have neighborhoods that are safe in which to live.”
It is a lot easier to destroy property than it is to rebuild it. It was pointed out that West Baltimore area is yet to recover from the 1968 riots. The destruction of over 200 businesses in Baltimore will only remind investors that they would be smart to set-up shop in some other community.
What makes me wonder if cities like Baltimore are doomed is the mindset of city leaders. In the past, they’ve condemned the violence. Today, they are helping to fan the flames. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake admitted in a press conference that she asked the Baltimore Police Department to “Give those who wished to destroy space to do that.”
If that statement had been made by a white conservative, the press would have eaten them alive.
City Council President Bernard Young called the rioters “thugs,” only to later apologize for using the term. “They’re just misdirected. We need to direct them on a different path by creating opportunities for them,” said Young.
Demonic delusion is become so strong, people don’t even believe what is plain to the naked eye. CNN reporter, Wolf Blitzer, was talking to a community organizer who was praising the virtues of the Baltimorian youth. Blitzer interrupted him to point out that the network was showing live coverage of a CSV pharmacy being looted by the very people he was praising.
During the past couple of weeks you would think that there was a contest for people to offer-up the craziest comments about the unrest. Loud mouth extraordinaire, Michael Moore, put himself in the lead by tweeting out these nuggets of nuttiness: “Disarm the police” and “I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug ‘crimes’ or nonviolent offenses released from prison today.”
The core problem is the lack of morality. Even if the police murdered Freddie Gray in cold blood, there is no justification for people to act like hoodlums. We need more people like the woman who discovered her son rioting and started smacking him upside the head before driving him home.
The entirely slanted issue of cops preying on blacks is manufactured by the liberal media. If a white person gets harmed by the police, the major news services ignore it. If an altercation involves a black person, it’s instantly: Breaking News. The press is not objectively covering the news; they are actively working to inflame racial strife.
A far greater problem is the black-on-black crime. Liberal activists have coined the slogan: “Black lives matter.” If they were truly concerned about black lives they would protest the gangs that are butchering each other in almost complete media silence. Every major holiday the corpses of black youths stack up like cords of wood in county morgues.
The crime rate in Chicago went up to 40 percent last year, and it was ignored by the press.
The left sees the police as the enemy and they are calling for them to stand-down. With South Chicago as the armpit of the Midwest, the top complaint should be that the cops are not doing enough to control crime. The only type of stats that liberals care about are the stop-and-frisk rate for African Americans.
It is this fixation on racism that has blinded people to the importance of having an engaging police force. If someone is being mugged on 4th Street, a police officer can find plenty of excuses to be on 6th Street. It is already becoming clear that the high risk of being charged with a crime for the slightest mistake has some cops sitting on their hands.
The number of unsolved murders in crime-ridden cities is already shockingly high from the lack of involvement by residents. If the cops decide they don’t care, we end up with lawlessness.
If you think the current unrest is bad, it is nothing compared to what is eventually headed our way. The U.S. government has been covering up the dysfunction of urban areas by passing a series of welfare bills. In the fifty years since President Lyndon Johnson declared an unconditional war on poverty, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs.
Adjusted for inflation, this spending is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution. And we are near the end of our ability to finance these programs.
The collapse of the welfare state would uncork a brewing volcano. If individuals are willing to riot over someone else’s misfortune, they will have no hesitancy when their EBT card becomes void.
We are following the same game plan that played out in pre-Nazi Germany. The streets of Berlin became over run by violent protests, and the police were powerless to stop the mayhem. When Hitler came along, he won over the public by restoring order.
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:4).
