Re: Orioles COO John Angelos offers eye-opening perspective on Baltimore protests
Process matters. The "Means" to an End are as important as the"End" itself. I agree with COO Angelos' view on the serious issue he's raising. But, in my view, that doesn't justify violence and destruction of private property.

I agree, but I don't think he's rationalizing or justifying the violence.

Re: Orioles COO John Angelos offers eye-opening perspective on Baltimore protests
You're probably right. I wouldn't expect him to condone the violence. It just struck me that as right as I feel he is on the main topic, he seemed (to me anyway) to downplay the effect violent actions can and will have on advancing his point.

A) I wouldn't categorize them as "protesters", a good portion of those people are simply criminals looking to cause trouble. This wasn't a sit-in at Woolworth's. Innocent people were nearly killed.
B) Instead of blaming the "elite" he needs to look to local leadership (democrats) and unions.

The delicious irony of it all is that his father made hundreds of millions suing companies for asbestos, tobacco and weight loss drugs. So wouldn't you say he's a contributor to the loss of those middle class jobs as corporations were seeking to protect themselves from class action lawsuits? How much of that money actually made it to the those that were affected to begin with? Maybe if he gave most of his wealth away to the disenfranchised folks of Baltimore there wouldn't be any violence.
Of course I find it humorous that a son of a multi-millionaire politician is calling out the political elite to begin with.
That's almost as bad as Hillary calling out Obama on Benghazi.

All that just went out the window with the ridiculous violence going on there right now. More police cars destroyed, some on fire, looters walking freely in and out of a CVS and other businesses with stolen property in their hands.

The attitude is amazing, isn't it? These protestors all want the benefit of the doubt but over and over large numbers act like this. SMH

Re: Orioles COO John Angelos offers eye-opening perspective on Baltimore protests
I was watching a movie last night and the word "dignified" was mentioned in the dialogue.
My mind was not on this Baltimore situation - I was just thinking what a great word it was.....and how powerful the meaning is, if applied.
What I see happening in Baltimore is anything but dignified....

Baltimore mayor: we gave those who wish to destroy the space to do that.
Sounds like an awesome place to live. A Democrat paradise.

Holy crap, hard to believe she actually said that...
Re: Orioles COO John Angelos offers eye-opening perspective on Baltimore protests
Actually, it isn't hard to believe at all.
Re: Orioles COO John Angelos offers eye-opening perspective on Baltimore protests
Watching the news crawl at the bottom of the screen saying large number of the rioters are juveniles and for parents to call their kids back home. Really? How naive can you get?

Nope, I'm in the county a little north of the city.

Stay safe.
Glad to hear. I figured that since you weren't in Baltimore you'd be fine.
Stay safe.
