As Twitchy reported, Baltimore’s curfew seemed to work out about as well as most suspected, but who knew that one of the most high-profile agitators as the clock moved past 10 p.m. would be Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera, who nearly started a fight with a protester he accused of blocking his camera.

10 o'clock curfew now in effect. Biggest disturbance so far caused by Geraldo and someone mad about his reporting. (Seeing a theme here?)

Only the president and mayor are allowed to call the rioters “thugs.”

Update: Comedian Patton Oswalt has finally found a riot he can respect and love.
Dear #BaltimoreProtest: You already won over my head. But threatening Geraldo Rivera with a beating? Now…now you have my heart.
