On Baltimore, Judgement & Compassion

FRN Blog

I have heard many MANY people on various social media platforms, blogs & posts from their living room couches & office desks castigate & pass judgement on those who “resorted to violence” during the protests in Baltimore this week and different post variations of the following:
