Thanks for this. It's nice to see the people who aren't assholes.

+1 for Obama with a broom in the first pic.
induren
Black people being responsible citizens?! NO WAY! Where's Baltimore PD? They need to shoot some of these people who are obviously criminals.
Anklehurthumpthesink
Destroying property/inventory/loss of business are only going to further impoverish the community raising crime/violence and police activity
CoolNickName
Yea, forget about all those asshole that made this mess in the first place.
SoggyDog
As Mr. Rogers said, look for the helpers.
Wittyyetsenseless
Kinda hard to focus on when they've started a new "demonstration" which will no doubt be like last night.
Evyreid
It's so disappointing that this even has to happen. If these people weren't stuck picking up the pieces think of what they could be doing.
Jyoung147
Seems a bit premature... It's not like it's over
SAIKOsean
Meanwhile the CVS is on fire again.
Squelchtone
They're even stealing trash bags and brooms?! shame on them!
IntelligentHippo
This again proves that people are not bad because of race, gender, or religion. (some) People are bad because they are bad people.
LumpWithaLeafHat
Oh look, adults being adults. +1
endfreq
It's harder and harder to come by.
Pirahtays
That is the sad truth.
azazyel
I've heard of these types of people asking reporters to photograph them so more people would see that it's not all bad.

"Fuck this CVS! Oh shit wait, my prescription was ready..."
Jamblesquack
What's stopping us (the internet) from pushing the dumbass media to cover more things like this? We bitch about this an awful lot.
harlequinelle
Great to see. But change needs to occur so future protests don't repeat this in other cities, and I don't mean just how people protest...
IrrelevantButPlausibleConspiracyTheories
Protesters =/= Rioters
endfreq
+1 for the helpers
OneZebraInAHerdOfWildebeests
+1 for mysteriously covering the same 4 square feet.. But that's none of my business.
Hanselhessohotrightnow
I was looking for them.
maximumspaghetti
Reminds me of the day after Vancouver lost Stanley Cup final. Assholes breakin' and burnin' at night and the good folks cleaning up after.
Conlo5
Shits about to turn ugly tonight.
pyramidhead14
Unbelievable, they're even stealing the brooms and dust pans
ashstachecashstache
I saw a video of kids off from school helping clean up, so sad and sweet at the same time
hoofherrightinthefrontbutt
Sauce?
SciFiFantasyGirl
I hope they learn as they help their families clean up, and remember what it was like so they don't act the same way when they get older.
iwantacorgi
A part of me wants those chain stores to just leave it how it is. But then a part of me feels bad for the citizens that didn't do anything.
Pirahtays
The news mentioned that the community actually rallied to get the CVS in their neighborhood.
Pixely
One of our security guards here at work lives near there, it's heartbreaking because she also doesn't have a car.
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
It's not just negative media attention being focused on the riots. I've seen a number of articles praising the violence, including on Salon.
[deleted]

becauseofhisbloodyawfulpoetry
That doesn't generate nearly as much money as fear-mongering whites with pictures of "thugs."
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Salon is a very misguided "media" outlet
PennnnnyLane
Salon is a shithole.
Evyreid
These "news" outlets are nearly as much at fault as the rioters. They are perpetuating a dangerous culture of violence.
wildcatkay
I know this is a clumsy analogy but Malcolm X was as powerful a leader as MLK... and even the latter saw the power of rioting
wildcatkay
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
Malcom X renounced violence at the end of his life, and then got shot for it.
wildcatkay
True. But he helped to affect positive change. I'm not saying either side is right or wrong.
jimicos
These are the images I hope the national news focuses on today. Folks from the neighborhood helping out and cleaning up.

Probably because over half the people who destroyed Baltimore aren't even from Baltimore.
notarepublican
Citation needed
Pirahtays
I think it was cited as why the protests over the weekend turned violent. I don't think that is the case for Monday's incident.
notarepublican
I'm not saying you're lying or anything, I just want to know the source.
TheSonOfX51
It was transplants that came in and spearheaded the riots. =/
Pirahtays
Actually, I believe the latest bit on Monday started from a large group of kids and escalated from there.
ThatsmysecretImalwaysrelevant
As a Missourian, same thing happened with Ferguson. It sucks:/
wassamattayu
maybe theres a shitty tour bus company that just goes around the country, bringing in assholes
GHDUDE17
Steelers fans taking the rivalry just a smidge too far.
TheSonOfX51

mysteriouspheonix
This is what people should focus on. Arrest the people who are looting and celebrate the people who are rebuilding.
Run5yourlife
Could be risky with that police department, you know
maxlongboard
To be honest I just want that one person that had the "black power shirt" to know embarrassment beyond belief
Dipityseren
I think *some* focus should be on the truck loads of US citizens getting killed in police custody, but this is good too.
caboops
I still think people should focus on the violent threat in the area, and worry about other things when that threat has passes.
Pirahtays
The community is apparently handling it now. Seems to have turned into a peaceful protest with a festival attitude. Lots of emotions.
CorwinMacGregor
Convenient they took selfies of themselves looting and otherwise committing their crimes, and then posted those pics on the internets. ha!
override367
yeah, these people aren't going anywhere, they'll find them with their own pictures
Pirahtays
I've seen a few posts of them already. I especially hope they catch the jerk cutting the fire hoses.
DonutTouchMyButt
Are you a fellow baltimorean?
sesamharold
I am not. Not by far. I am German and live in Germany. Still I would love to join those people cleaning up the mess. Stay safe.
giantsman11
I love about 15 miles away and have friends in Baltimore. Scary time for them, especially friends who are near the row houses.
Pirahtays
The worst is things in the County are being closed now near Woodlawn and in Dundalk.
Pirahtays
Clearly, things being closed is not the worst, but you get my drift. I think they are worried that people will gather outside the city.
giantsman11
Yeah and what they did for the O's game tomorrow. They really must be scared if they're not letting fans in
imhereforthepuppies
Ayyy, I'm at UMBC!

UMBC yo. We could see the fires from the library. Crazy shit. I'm proud of my city coming together to rebuild though. Bmore Strong
EGOT
My sisters in Baltimore, she's livid about the picture the national media painted of what happened.
Electriccarsbestcars
That's how a good friend of mine feels. She's in baltimore and she's been going with her infant son to the peaceful protests.
DonutTouchMyButt
As well she should be. The media is lying about a lot of things
EGOT
So I was moving this past weekend, drove all day Monday. Got my internet set up Tues. night. I'm up to speed now. Holy shit.
DonutTouchMyButt
Holy shit indeed haha
EGOT
I'm livid with the media. Because I see the posts from a dozen or so people I know in Baltimore, then I turn on CNN.
mrwaffles
Don't the usually say Baltimoron? ;)

I always do
DonutTouchMyButt
Not today, man
Pirahtays
I live outside of the city, but grew up around it and worked there for a number of years.
NobodyEverSaysHiFelicia
I am glad you two are safe!
DonutTouchMyButt
I live in Hampden. I slept not a wink last night. My drive to work through downtown was heartbreaking today.
Pirahtays
I was watching the TV in disbelief. It will get better as the community rallies against these asshats.
giantsman11
Did they end up enforcing a curfew yesterday?
DonutTouchMyButt
Starts tonight i believe
giantsman11
Jeez stay safe man. Scary stuff out there
stealthmouse328
Yo I live in Remington. I was at Lexington market last night right before it started getting looted. Unbelievable shit. Stay safe!

Glad you're alright. If you need a safe place to go, let me know

I hope this is included, but if people are still rioting, that still needs to be covered.
aStrangerVoid
But it shouldn't be the main focus. Rioting isn't "the problem", it's an inevitable reaction to "the problem".
borderlandsman
We all know that they will not do that

I am glad to say that the community has been positively focused on in the local media fairly well.
