I believe (and hope) that the scenes from Spring will not be replayed. The riots hurt Baltimore in so many ways. Really, nothing good came of them for anyone. Also, because the defendants are being tried separately, I think it diffuses the impact of any one of the trials.

Right now, just crossing my fingers and hoping everyone remains calm.

Cnn and msnbc got the gasoline trucks on the way. Media handing out pitch forks...they need viewership and to sell some advertising
