pray for baltimore

Today in Western Civ we were talking about the horrible events in Baltimore City last night. I think we had a very good discussion about it.
I think what happened was absolutely horrible, it made me so ashamed. I was ashamed because this is my city but these people were also of my race. I understand the anger toward the police officers, but this was not how it should go. 
I agree that everyone has their rights and opinions but going into your community stores and businesses and trashing it is just wrong. I don't think those young and older people would do that? At the end of the day it's going to be their community that they destroyed, what are they going to have left to go too?
I don't think some of these people even cared about Freddie Gray, they were just taking advantage of the situation. They were making fools of themselves.

It just made me very mad and upset. I hope both of my grandmothers are okay because they live in East and West Baltimore. And I really hope that my cousin, who works for the national guard, will be okay. I'm just praying that this whole thing is over soon. We just need to pray for our city right now.
