As Baltimore burns to smoldering piles of ash, ‘protesting’ the death of Freddie Gray, there are some people that live there that just aren’t having it. A veteran has had enough of the nonsense, a hopefully his words will shock some sense into these hapless vandals and thieves[1]:

But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some just standing up for peace. Vietnam veteran Robert Valentine is one who braved the streets of Baltimore to speak out to CNN reporter Joe Johns on what he feels is gratuitous violence.
Johns: “You sort of took it upon yourself to tell those young people to go away. Aren’t you a little bit concerned for your own safety?”

Valentine: “Here’s number one. I did 30 years, okay? Came out a Master Sergeant. I’ve seen more than all this. I’ve been through the riots already. This right here is not relevant. They need to have their butts at home, they need to be in their home units with their family, studying and doing something with their life. Not out here protesting about something that’s not really nothing. …They do not respect this young man’s death, you know?

I love my country, I love my Charm City, and I’m an American. I’m not black, white, red, yellow, or nothing; I am American.”

Thank you, Mr. Valentine. Thank you for speaking out, thank you for calling it EXACTLY like it is, and most importantly, thank you for your service. I hope all the brats burning Baltimore get exactly what they deserve- lots and lots of jail time.
