Last night was a brutal night in Baltimore. Having lived through riots in Bermuda back in 1977, I thought back to them frequently as I watched the terrible things happening in Baltimore last night. My prayer is that peace will carry the day, and that the influx of police, National Guard, firefighters and ministers and the NAACP calling for calm in the community will diffuse the situation.

You have to give this mother credit though for doing her part to stop the riots last night. Apparently she recognized her son, and administered a good old butt-whipping to her son as she caught him in the act!
