Mother reads son the riot act It's the video making the rounds on social media this morning. A Baltimore woman went down to where rioting was going on, and reports say she was trying to calm down the crowd. But that's when she noticed her own son among the rioters, and what happened next has parents everywhere cheering her on this morning. Good for her.

Saw that this morning. Laughed my little azz off. They said, "...smacked him upside the head."

Watched it just a few minutes ago when I got in from work. I am really proud of that kid's mom. Way cool. I hope that being involved and courageous is contagious.

I think she was insanely wrong to do that, he is standing up for something that has been overlooked for a long time, people are now angry. no government nobody at all has the right to mistreat anybody else based on the colour of their skin, after all its just melanin.

How is reacting in violence and destroying the community where innocent people live, standing up for what is right? How is looting from innocent people standing up? It's a bunch of violent, criminal thugs using an injustice to validate their riot

It's a bunch of violent, criminal thugs using an injustice to validate their riot what was done after a certain somebody stated this...I have a dream. what about a certain someone who's last name ends in x he believed in peaceful demonstration. what about all the black men who were hanged for what...just being black. one murder now by the police is too much so I can totally sympathise with them. its only what's been happening to people of colour for thousands of years.

Those certain people DID make a change peacefully. Please answer what I asked. How does looting from innocent people fix the problem? How does destroying a community where innocent families live do anything? The riot was nothing more than an excuse to loot and destroy and put people in harms way. What about the cops that had nothing to do with the case? EVEN the punk's own mom thought the rioting was wrong along with many others!

Of course there is racism but it's not just whites that are racist. Racism is wrong but I will be damned if I get lumped in with racists because I am white

Most ridiculous thing I have heard. It's a dishonor to those "certain" people you quoted White supremacists could use the same arguement for what they did. Wrong is wrong. 2 wrongs don't make a right. These thugs are taking it out ON INNOCENT PEOPLE! Their own community! Even the mom disagrees with you on this

Do you know how many White men died for Black men in the Civil War? they had no choice but to fight, they were called up. that does not mean they had any different views than the side they were fighting.

mom333, why are you turning this into a racist thread?
