My greatest fear about the Baltimore riots
Baltimore seems to be on fire and the sad reality is that the moral high ground that could have been had is lost. Freddie Gray was buried today. He lost his life while in Baltimore police custody due to a severed spine. That is all I know — and actually all anyone knows. However, what is playing out before our eyes is the depraved spectacle of anarchy, violence, wanton criminality and an utter lack of leadership. To have the mayor of Baltimore issue a statement allowing these thugs “space to destroy” is unconscionable. Is the rioting over Gray’s death or just an excuse for the most disgusting aspect of human nature?
