In a spectacular display of ignorance, a man identified as “Brother Rose” spoke at the Baltimore rally yesterday preaching that people need to kick businesses out of the communities. “Let’s burn something that doesn’t benefit us, but benefits you, but is in our community.” You’re gonna sit there and tell me not one person has ever shopped at the CVS that was destroyed? You’re gonna tell me not one person has received vital medications through that CVS? Oh, but it gets even better below.
During a large rally in front of Baltimore’s City Hall, a young man introduced as “Brother Rose,” in winding and sometimes incoherent speech, praised the burning of a CVS store at the corner of Pennsylvania and North Avenues. “America didn’t care until we started affecting things they profit from… What we saying, ‘Let’s get you out of our communities.’”
He also said, “Without us running (unintelligible) Mondawmin Mall [the site of mass looting on Monday], taking back from the stores that have taken our dollars for how long, and not giving back to the community in any type of way. We made a statement. The world heard us then. They heard that the youth of Baltimore are going to get justice by any means necessary.”
He also advocated shutting down restaurants and businesses that were protecting their investments. “If they protected themselves against you, protect yourselves against them. Don’t spend your money there. Don’t give them no reason to be in your neighborhood. Kick them out.”
It was unclear how his grand plan would allow neighborhood residents to get desperately needed vital goods and services.

Yep, just move out, and let them whine about how there's no jobs (that many are too illiterate for anyway) and nothing to do...
LOCK HIM UP
wrong ideas about who to remove from communities
blah, blah, blah
He doesn't have to worry after what happened. Then they will cry because they have no stores.
About one hundred years ago that same attitude resulted in the Soviet Union. All they need is a Marx or Engels, and Al Sharpton is trying his best to fill that role (with Obama's assistance).
