‘Black Lives Matter’ Activist DeRay Mckesson Files to Run For Baltimore Mayor
DeRay McKesson became (in)famous during the Michael Brown riots. And he also was invited to give a lecture at Yale where he spoke in favor of looting.
'Black Lives' leader defends looting in Yale lecture
I guess the citizens of Baltimore will have to get used to more scenes like these if they are stupid enough to elect that demagogue as their mayor.

For those interested, here is the "In Defense of Looting" essay:

http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/in-defense-of-looting/

These days, the police, whose public-facing racism is much more manicured, if no less virulent, argue that “outside agitators” engage in rioting and looting. Meanwhile, police will consistently praise “non-violent” demonstrators, and claim that they want to keep those demonstrators safe.

In working to correct the white-supremacist media narrative we can end up reproducing police tactics of isolating the individuals who attack property at protests. Despite the fact that if it were not for those individuals the media might pay no attention at all. If protesters hadn’t looted and burnt down that QuikTrip on the second day of protests, would Ferguson be a point of worldwide attention? It’s impossible to know, but all the non-violent protests against police killings across the country that go unreported seem to indicate the answer is no. It was the looting of a Duane Reade after a vigil that brought widespread attention to the murder of Kimani Gray in New York City. The media’s own warped procedure instructs that riots and looting are more effective at attracting attention to a cause.

In other words, be as violent and as destructive as possible, in order to get the media's attention.
