Baltimore baseball fans trapped in ballpark because of Freddie Gray riots (UPDATED)

 UPDATE: Maryland Dem: Baltimore rioters 'mainly from out of town'  " Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) alleged Sunday that many rioters in Baltimore the previous night were from "out of town," noting that he was amid crowds in the area." . . .

Why isn't Al Sharpton there to calm emotions and talk reason to these rioters?  Oh, never mind; just be glad he's not there. TD
Rick Moran "The "largely peaceful" protest in Baltimore against police turned violent when marchers reached the Camden Yards baseball park where a game had just ended. The unruly crowd began to throw bottles at police and break windows, which resulted in the mayor and police chief ordering those left in the ballpark to stay where they were.
. . . 
"Can someone enlighten me as to what this protest is about? No one knows what happened to the young man. The fact that he died in police custody is suspicious but absent any evidence whatsoever that officers were responsible for his death, why the protests and violence?

"I guess it was Baltimore's turn. It would be bad PR strategy to have more than one city being targeted with anti-police protests, so blowing up the tragic death of Freddie Gray into a police brutality issue gives the social justice crowd the perfect opportunity to grab some TV face time and rant against whitey."
. . . 
"How silly will these people feel if it comes out that the police had nothing to do with Gray's death? Not very. Judging by what happened in Ferguson when the truth finally came out, the narrative will continue to be advanced without any reference to reality."



 Valdosta, Georgia -- a racial powder keg?. . . "Al Sharpton briefly sniffed around, but even he couldn’t find anything of substance that offered a profit to his National Action Network." . . .
