Why loot the CVS? Those who work there have to go to back when you're done being immature. You don't care about your city. #Baltimore

Nothing protests Police behavior better than robbing a CVS. #Baltimore #Thugs

I am thoroughly opposed to police brutality, but someone tell me what looting a CVS does to end it. #FreddieGray

What the hell does robbing a CVS Pharmacy have to do w/the death of Freddie Gray? Nothing. So, why do it? A man is dead.This isn't the way.
— KT (@sloyoroll01973) April 27, 2015
