Just wayward youth having fun. Definitely not thugs. Attempted murder..no biggie. This pizza owner said he is getting a permit and a gun. Smart guy.
Some people are jumping for joy because as long as they can point to people like this, they don't ever have to address the real issue regarding what the police did to Grey.

What? Who is jumping for joy or saying that? Link please.
Nobody is saying that Grey's death shouldn't be addressed, the circumstances surround his death is very troubling.
All of it has to be addressed and will be addressed.

"What the police did to Grey" is still unknown. What is known is what a bunch of POS low-life thugs did to their own neighborhood, and that high school kids feel emboldened enough to leave school, loot a shopping mall, and throw rocks and bottles at cops.
We can all speculate exactly what happened to Grey, or can do the educated thing that is to wait for information to be released.

Perhaps it isn't what they did to Gray that killed him. Maybe it's what they didn't do.
But cellphone videos show that in both incidents the arresting officer evidenced a disturbing deafness to the prisoner’s cries of distress.
Garner was able to verbalize a plea that was later chanted by protesters.
“I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!”
Gray could only manage loud cries of pain as he was hoisted to his feet and dragged in handcuffs to a waiting police wagon.
Yet, as in the Garner case, the officers give no sign of even hearing Gray. The police commander now leading the investigation into the Baltimore incident made clear on Friday that in his view the officers should have been aware of Gray’s physical distress at the scene of the arrest.
“That's where he should have received medical attention, and he did not.” Deputy Commissioner Kevin Davis said at a press conference.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts suggested that Gray may have been further injured while he was transported. Batts confirmed that the van stopped twice along the way and that on the second occasion Gray clearly verbalized that he has been injured.
“He says he needs a medic,” Batts said.
“If somebody harmed Freddie Gray, we’re going to have to prosecute them.”
Yet no paramedics were summoned for more than 20 minutes, after the van arrived at the Western District police station and officers opened the back to discover that Gray was unconscious.
Batts further confirmed that Gray had not been strapped in with a seatbelt, as required by department regulations.
I didn't say the officers weren't in the wrong, merely that "exactly what the police did" (in relation to the injuries he sustained and lack of medical treatment given) aren't known yet. The information is due out on the 1st. We'll know then exactly what happened, who was at fault, and what prosecution is coming.

Great News! #Baltimore Sets High Bail, $500,000 For Rioters, Many Still In Jail From Monday…
Quote:Baltimore’s under-fire criminal justice system risked antagonising its already seething local community on Wednesday by suspending legal procedures and imposing bail bonds of up to half a million dollars on the city’s most impoverished residents.
In one especially stark case, a 19-year-old charged with eight offences allegedly committed on Saturday, including riot, theft and disorderly conduct, was set a bail of $500,000. Court records show the defendant, a black man, was sent to jail after failing to produce the funds.
Tone-Deaf Mayor Of Baltimore Gives Press Conference In Front Of Sharpton’s Banner With “No Justice No Peace”
She gave a speech about how much she cares about the community, but then seemingly endorsed this inflammatory position standing in front of Sharpton’s banner. She is the Ray Nagin of Maryland.
.... and then backpedals on it.
