Human beings are more valuable than private property

Why does the media suddenly care so much about Baltimore?

Because a store is being burned?

If only the media was this focused on the death of yet another unarmed black person at the hands of the police.

IMO, this is part of the reason why folks are rioting. There's no hope when society views your life as less valuable than private property.

The media's coverage of Baltimore only reinforces this notion.
