I don't condone this, but we need to listen to what these children in Baltimore are communicating. Make no mistake, this is communication.

Ohhhhhhh. “Communication.” So that’s what they’re calling it these days.
So well said. #FreddieGray https://t.co/uALwC9Swwa

@JamilSmith @MichaelSkolnik This is righteous outrage born of frustration,despair, years of unchecked police murder & lies.They demand truth

“Well said”? In what universe, exactly?
@JamilSmith @MichaelSkolnik: ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?!

We wish. How can anyone possibly rationalize this kind of savagery?
This isn't communication https://t.co/xurcBdFQNA

@JamilSmith @MichaelSkolnik Well it's the wrong kind of communicating. most of this is an excuse to be violent, not about Freddie Gray

@JamilSmith where are their parents at? I'm sorry but if this is how they learned 2 communicate they have a rough road ahead.

@JamilSmith @MichaelSkolnik There is no "BUT" in this situation! This type of shit can not be condoned in any, way, shape or form.
