As a matter of fact I have, stood right in the thick of it during the Baltimore riots of April '68, it's the residual after effects that's sad. Too many innocent people suffer. Of course, the burnt out areas are rebuilt for the most part, with our money.

Funny story from the Watts riots in '66 - Stores were being looted and a guy who had looted a couch from a furniture store was going down the sidewalk with the couch on his back. A cop approached him and asked him if he stole the couch. The guy said No, officer, I'm a psychiatrist on a house call.

The alternative would be to NOT rebuild and live in a shithole. I suspect the typical rioter isn't knocking back $150k / year to pay for all the crap he destroyed.

It's simply a "feel good" arrest to calm the outraged folks.

Look at it this way, if he's not arrested, the outraged black folks say that "justice" turned a blind eye. This gives both sides a chance to win.

You can thank the worthless pieces of shit in charge. There is no f**king way that odumbass and holder kept their noses out of this. After the "my son" comments, there was a vested interest and you can absolutely guarantee that they will do whatever they can to drive the wedge between the races in this country.
Makes you wonder what the "great divider" will do to fuck up a fair trial.
