Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who is both the current Mayor of Baltimore and Secretary of the DNC, famously condoned the Freddie Gray riots in 2015.
Mizz Mayor, speaking to reporters in 2015, said,
"I've made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. It's a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well, and we work very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate."
Given the fact that the Secretary of the DNC believes that rioters should have a nice comfy space to destroy things, do you think riots will be condoned at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia like they were last year in Baltimore?
Wow...you don't often see a misreading of this proportion.
My congratulations.
Hope ya feel better having done it.

Ah. So when a politician supports the right of protest, to you, that's equal to supporting rioting.
Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe we should and must support the right to protest, as long as the protest is done in a lawful manner...that to try to shut down the riots without at the same time acknowledging that yes, they do have a right to protest (again, in a lawful manner) would likely have done nothing except for inciting more rioting?
She admitted to supporting illegal protesting. That's the point of the thread.

You are making a mockery of the truth.
No she didn't. She was saying that in the effort to provide protesters with the freedom to exercise their first amendment rights, lawbreaking protesters ended up having the opportunity to cause destruction as well. When the context is understood it's easy to see what she was saying. She specifically condemned the rioting.
Jill Carter, delegate in Maryland's House of Delegates,
" "Too much destruction was apparently allowed to happen. I mean, if they knew in advance that this was going to happen when school let out, then I'm not sure why there wasn't some effort to go into the schools, to maybe do something to hold students longer, to do something to prevent it rather than let it happen."
The mayor said it was allowed to happen, Jill Carter says it was allowed to happen, Cardinal says it wasn't allowed to happen.
Who should I believe?------
You're right, she did condemn the riots, a day after she said rioters were given space to destroy things and the media published it.
Yes, that's right. She not only knowingly created a situation whereby rioters would destroy things, but she planned it and then bragged about it to the media.
You are a genius.

That is not only condoning rioting, but enabling it.we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well

You struck a nerve with the left. They hate that.

Baltimore turned out just fine...... you can trust me on this.

What happened in Baltimore was not protesting.
