Misguided Mob Rule

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| In Baltimore, we have just witnessed mob rule. | |
| It was dressed up as legal procedure, but it was mob rule. | |
| The mob rioted, and the mob got what it wanted. | |
| It all started on April 12th, when three white policemen arrested a black named Freddie Gray. | |
| It was his 19th arrest. | |
| Three more officers were then involved in taking him to the police station. | |
| Somewhere along the way, his spinal cord was injured. | |
| After he got to the station, he was rushed to the hospital and he died a week later. | |
| The six officers were suspended while the Baltimore police investigated. | |
| But as we have learned, in Ferguson, Missouri, the Trayvon Martin case, Duke lacrosse team, Eric Garner in New York, blacks can't wait for an investigation. | |
| They want vengeance. | |
| And so, they burned and looted. | |
| And they got the kid glove treatment. | |
| As the mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, explained,"We gave those who wished to destroy space to do that." When the rioters really got frisky, she did call them thugs. | |
| But she apologized two days later. | |
| "We don't have thugs in Baltimore," she said. | |
| "That night we saw misguided young people." Well, let's see. | |
| Here's some misguided young people smashing a police car. | |
| Here are more misguided young people looting a 7-Eleven. | |
| The misguided lady appears to be exercising black power. | |
| And here's what is left of a sneaker store after misguided young people helped themselves. | |
| Misguided young people also burned a CVS drugstore. | |
| The city had begged the company to put a store in that dangerous neighborhood, but another misguided young person cut the hose that the firemen were using to put out the fire. | |
| But this was not wanton destruction. | |
| Misguided young people were careful to loot the place before they burned it. | |
| The mayor wasn't the only one to say that you shouldn't call these exuberant young people thugs. | |
| City Councilman Carl Stokes said the word was an insult. | |
| These are children who have been set aside, he said. | |
| They're marginalized, who have not been engaged by us. | |
| Well, Baltimore is run by blacks. | |
| The misguided youth are black. | |
| Their parents and teachers are black. | |
| So the people who misguided them must be black. | |
| But I don't think that's the general view in Baltimore. | |
| Demonstrators waved printed signs like the one on the right of the screen which says,"Racism is the disease. | |
| Revolution is the cure." And along with that red sign, here's a yellow one that says,"Stop racist police terror." And here's a lady telling us that the way to stop murder by police is to"Shut down Baltimore" and"Shut down America-ka-ka." When the city's misguided young people did shut down Baltimore, | |
| the city prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, didn't bother with a grand jury. | |
| She surprised everyone by indicting all six of the officers right away. | |
| And she spoke directly to the people who were tearing the place apart. | |
| "To the youth of the city," she said,"I will seek justice on your behalf. | |
| This is a moment. | |
| This is your moment." She didn't say a word about seeking justice for 7-Eleven or CVS or for the sneaker store. | |
| But she went on, and I quote, To the people of Baltimore, I heard your call for no justice, no peace. | |
| Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man. | |
| Well, she as much as admitted that she indicted the officers because of the rioting. | |
| That's sure how blacks saw it. | |
| There's no need to go tear up the city no more, said Rene James, age 48. Abdullah Mouni, age 53, agreed. | |
| There would have been no charges filed, he said, if it wasn't for the riot. | |
| The city's mood turned to joy. | |
| Violence had been rewarded. | |
| Hundreds of people celebrated, breaking the curfew that the mayor had ordered just four days earlier. | |
| The next day, there was a spontaneous street party of thousands of people. | |
| It was a holiday atmosphere with dancing and singing in the streets. | |
| The people had been heard. | |
| There would be vengeance. | |
| Mayor Rawlings' Blake caught the new mood. | |
| I'm so inspired and encouraged by what I see, she told CBS affiliate WJZ. | |
| That day, people marched through Freddie Gray's old neighborhood, chanting, Our streets! | |
| You can't argue with that. | |
| They tore up cop cars and looted local businesses, and most of them got away with it. | |
| So what about the officers? | |
| Between them, they've been charged with second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, manslaughter by vehicle, second-degree assault, misconduct in office, and false imprisonment. | |
| Something bad happened to Freddie Gray in the back of that police van, but no one tried to kill him. | |
| He was cuffed and shackled because he was violent. | |
| He wasn't belted into his seat, but the belting rule was just a few days old and may not have gotten to those officers. | |
| Besides, even a cuffed and shackled man can bite you or spit on you if you bend over him and try to buckle him. | |
| Gray was denied medical help, but prisoners claimed to be sick and injured all the time. | |
| They'd never get to the station. | |
| Legal experts think the case against the officers is very weak. | |
| George Washington University law professor John Banjoff says a judge should dismiss most or even all the charges. | |
| The legal consensus is that there might be a case for civil negligence and just possibly, depending on the evidence, criminal negligence, but it would be hard to get a conviction. | |
| Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School says the prosecutor Mosby is putting on, quote, a show trial. | |
| So what we've got in Baltimore is the worst possible outcome. | |

Reminds of Primitive Tribes

|
| Blacks go on the rampage and police officers are thrown to the dogs just to calm the mob. | |
| What better way to tell them that rioting works and to ask for more riots if the verdicts are not guilty? | |
| You know, it reminds me of what primitive tribes do when the gods are angry. | |
