While the situation as a whole is disgusting you do need to look at the positive aspects in the vicinity:

Mom really cares about her son.

maybe i'm not very sympathetic to the racial tension thing since i'm only a white man who lives near downtown atlanta and have to go there quite often to work, and growing up in El Paso TX, where you can be going out to a job site and get life threats just because you are white, so what do i know about the subject.

It is "Ferguson" all over again. Rioting and looting are not the answer. We, as the American society, didn't learn the first time. Hopefully the second time of not learning will end the trend.

you got to admit, it was justifiably funny when they showed that mother kicking her sons butt all of the way home on national tv. i'm usually not a fan of a parent going that far, but in this case, go get him mom.

It is the equivalent of throwing a tantrum. If you have good parents, it accomplishes nothing. The worst I have heard so far during the Baltimore situation is, "I am going to get what is mine." Really? Because one of the citizens was killed by the police, you are going to steal Doritos and Arizona Iced Tea from a local shop owner?

Your logic is invalid.

and burn down a local pharmacy? hey that pharmacy might have come in handy at some point.
