This is just stunning -- Bloods and Crips in Baltimore
Watch Rival Gangs Work Together To Restore The Peace In Baltimore
But on Wednesday, when far fewer cameras were focused on the mall, members of rival gangs banded together to make sure students there got home from school safely. Men who identified themselves as Bloods, Crips and members of the Black Guerilla Family, among other groups, worked with local community leaders to keep the peace.


Baltimore gangs unite in call for peace
"We did not make that truce to harm cops," one unidentified gang member told Baltimore's WBAL-TV. "We're not about to allow y'all to paint this picture of us."
The gangs, he said, came together to stop the riots and bring peace to the neighborhood.
... Justin Fenton, a crime reporter for the Baltimore Sun, said he was pulled to safety during Monday's unrest by a member of the Rollin' 60s Crips gang.

Baltimore Gang Members: We're Trying to Stop the Violence


From Quelling Looters to Saving Lives, Baltimore Gangs Are Doing A Better Job Than Police
Members of the Crips, Bloods and BGF, Baltimore’s three largest gangs, even stood with city council members during a press conference this week. The council members spoke very highly of the gang members and their recent efforts.“These men have been out on the street quelling the senseless violence that has consumed our city. After meeting with them today it is clear that the notion they were planning on harming our police officers is false and simply deterred the resources we needed to focus on the individuals who instigated these riots. I applaud these young men for standing here and speaking out for our city.” City Council President Bernard C. Young said.
The gang members were even out in the streets directing traffic.
... Earlier this week the NRA reported that a shop owner armed with a shotgun saved Baltimore Sun journalist Justin Fenton. The journalist later came forward to say that the shop owner just stood there to protect his business while gang members rushed to his rescue. The hero was later identified as Charles Shelley, a gang member currently involved in the truce.
When tales of Shelley’s actions went public, another reporter, this time Ben Jacobs of the Guardian Tweeted that “He looked out for me too!”
The Baltimore Sun caught Shelley dropping knowledge in a local church this week, the video can be seen below:

5. It's hard to sell drugs

When your corner is on fire, there's a riot going on and there are cops all over the place.

Anybody who buys into their shit about helping the community is f*n delusional.

10. So the people who are responsible for the horrible crime rates in black neighborhoods

are the solution?

That might be the single dumbest argument I've ever heard

11. Yes they are. They are either the problem or the solution.

That community is the product of the behavior of its inhabitants.

13. Good.

This is action that should be recognized and rewarded.

17. Reagan's "Trust but Verify" quote comes to mind.

A week ago they were murdering their black brethren, or ruining black lives with drugs.
Last Night they were looting stores.
Today they are somehow paragons of virtue who should be rewarded? based on what? a few words to a reporter?

It takes more than a few words to turn a new leaf. The old saying is, "You can take a cat out of the alley, but you can't take the alley out of the cat."

Sorry Miss Quay, but gang members are evil. That is not just going to go away.

18. They.

Is such a broad term.

Few people are evil, however, many are ignorant.

Do you think it is wise to piss on anything positive that they may do? And still expect positive change?

I don't.

YMMV.

23. I feel pretty safe in calling Bloods and Crips evil.

Initiation into these two gangs is murder. Every single one of them is a killer. that leaves a dark stain on the soul.
Further they hate each other and been at war for decades.

One does not just turn off hate and evil on a lark.

Only the truly naive will trust them. Especially when the "alliance" was made to kill policemen.

26. Okey dokey.

Be afraid then.

Like you conservatives always tell the black folks; life is all about the choices you make.

Da Mannn (2,279 posts)
28. You are correct: life is all about the choices you make.

If you chose to be a criminal, you will have a confrontation with a cop in your future

Further, it is not fear to acknowledge the truth. Gangs are criminal organizations, and as such are unlikely to ever become a virtuous force for good.

I seriously can not believe people like Miss Quay are sane. No human could be that stupid.

He described how he and some Bloods members stood in front of stores that they knew were black-owned business, to protect them from looting and vandalism. He said they made sure no black youths, or reporters, were injured by rioters.

Instead, he said, they pointed the rioters toward Chinese- and Arab-owned stores.

Dummies don't even read the stories they promote. 

Great job getting those Asians and Arabs!!

According to the racist blacks, that's not racist for the Asians and the Arabs to be looted, arsoned and attacked.

It was actually pretty racist of the whites to not have more stores for the "freedom fighters" to burn.

What a crock.
" members of rival gangs banded together to make sure students there got home from school safely."
Trying to befriend the kids, get on their good sides, so they can later get the kids hooked on drugs they (The gang members) are dealing, convince the kids to do favors or run errands for them, and/ or get the kids to join the gangs when they're older.

""We did not make that truce to harm cops," one unidentified gang member told Baltimore's WBAL-TV. "We're not about to allow y'all to paint this picture of us."
The gangbanging vermin painted it for themselves, openly talking at the start of the riots about how the truce was being formed in order to "Take out" cops.
Miss Quay is brain- dead if she actually believes what she's spewing.
Winston and foia will probably be tombstoned for what they wrote.

"According to the racist blacks, that's not racist for the Asians and the Arabs to be looted, arsoned and attacked."
Libs feel the same way, at least about Asians.
A few years ago, there was a particularly repulsive Communist troll on a blog I frequented. One day, in a story on how an Asian student was part of a group of students who wore all- white to school one day as some kind of show of solidarity, the troll responded, "Americanized Asians are practically white anyway," then went on to say that Asian and Jewish students should lose their enrollment in colleges so more black and Hispanic students can enroll.

I am imagining that this most recent alliance won't last very long.

I think it would be a wonderful experiment to have the gangs just replace the BPD.
