I'm sure plenty of fans were saying:

"Sheeeeeeeeeit."

It started with free rides on the T and the release of the Black Mass trailer with Johnny Depp's scary scene of releasing your family's secret recipes.Friday night the whole country was gripped with agony over Bruce loosing his Jenn-itals or even worse the fact that he is a republican,
Now we have protests and riots at Camden Yard where thousands of Boston Red Sox fans travel to Baltimore for the weekend because tickets to the game air fare and hotels are cheaper than going to Fenway Park. How would you like to be with your wife and kids at the game and see that scoreboard.
Hopefully today will bring peace

Koji Uehara couldn't leave in the 9th.

A political protest is a "public safety issue" that causes the city government to imprison everyone inside a sports stadium who's already there for an hour.

And no one regards this as the least bit unusual.

If you have enough people filming enough other people for long enough, you'll be able to make a supercut of the most violent parts. No doubt that the people in this video are displaying riot-like behavior, but notice the calm response from the police and from the other people around the punks. It was a day filled almost entirely with protests, and the media has latched on to the dozen most violent people in the crowd and played up their stories to make it look worse than it is. The protesters deserve more credit than the media is giving them.

This, this is a riot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULtFLAGHiWE

Simply amazing.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake admitted in a press conference on Sunday: that she asked the Baltimore Police Department to “give those who wished to destroy, space to do that.”

A political protest involves fistfights on the street and throwing chairs through windows of restaurants, yes, it is in fact a public safety issue.
