Riots

I fully understand why people are frustrated and angry in Baltimore. I absolutely believe that racism is systemic and we have a long way to go before it's eradicated. That said, I don't support violence in pretty much any capacity. Protesting is a great way to let people know your feelings,  and what you need to thrive. Looting, causing damage, and injury, should not be part of protesting. The anger is simmering and bubbling, but the capacity to reign in that kind of behavior is what kind of what society is all about. The other side of that, of course, is that society is also about helping the disenfranchised. I pray for Baltimore and all the cities facing this right now. I pray for peace and comfort in difficult times. But, I also pray for justice and fairness to prevail and lend itself to those who haven't really had it.
