Violence and looting overtook much of West Baltimore. As night fell, looters took to Mondawmin Mall and a Save-A-Lot and Rite Aid in Bolton Hill, loading up cars with stolen goods. "I don't understand how stealing jeans is going to bring justice to Mr. Gray."
About 10 fire crews battled a three-alarm fire at a large senior center under construction, as police officers stood guard with long guns. Shots were fired at an officer in the area.
Fifteen police officers were injured in the clash with school-age children that began around 3 p.m. Police arrested 27 people.
The mayor declared a curfew across the city, “thugs” are “destroying our city.”
Police commissioner implored parents to take control of their children who might be taking part in the rioting. Structures that were being destroyed took great effort to erect in ailing communities that need them.
What are these young people angry at? Is it the Police, Society, Poverty, Education, or Lack of Family life?
Just a thought.
