How fortuitous that the idiots decided to riot while this challenge was going on!
It is really surreal to have armed troops outside our window at work.

Thanks to all who voted! I never expected a ribbon from this, and it was really exciting when it peaked just over 7.0 after 34 votes.
As a point of clarification, I have no problem with peaceful protesters, and there were many in Baltimore over the last few weeks. I refer to the rioters as "idiots" because they destroyed their own, already depressed, neighborhoods, making things even worse for themselves, their families and their neighbors. Looting and arson are not the answers to social ills.

I don't think there is such a thing as 'peaceful protesters' it's in the word 'protest' that gives you the clue. Gave you a 7, thought it would do well.
so violence goes on and on for generations, and then STOP - lets change the rules in the middle of the war. YOU guys can't riot. WE can keep killing though. always test propaganda by reversing the scenario. gl.
Calling them idiots is a bit harsh, I'm not from the US but there's been a reason as to why there have been such riots over the last few months.
Nice picture though, the black and white compliments the image nicely.
