Hundreds of protesters expressed their outrage over the death of Freddie Gray throughout the streets of Baltimore on Saturday, including near Camden Yards, where the Orioles were playing the Boston Red Sox.
Protests, which had been going on since Gray's death, turned violent in spots on Saturday, with several police car windows smashed. Police in riot gear set up lines downtown, not far from the ballpark, but still protesters blocked major intersections.
Meanwhile, the Orioles and Red Sox began their game on time, shortly after 7 p.m. ET. However, there were wide swaths of empty seats, unusual for when Boston is in town.
Fans who attempted to enter the ballpark through the main entrance were being told they needed to use other gates, as protesters yelled through the Camden Yards gates that police killed an “innocent man.”
Late in the game, the following mesage was posted on the scoreboard in Oriole Park: "Due to an ongoing public safety issue, the Mayor of Baltimore City & the BCPD have asked all fans to remain inside the ballpark until further notice. Thank you."
This shit is really getting old.

...but lets stay focused...these riots don't have a damn thing to do with politics...it's just a bunch of monkeys looking for any reason to riot, loot, ravage, and pillage as they please...that is why I could never be president of the US...I would have already sent in the national guard and ordered them to open fire on each and every one of those animals who unfortunately, give all blacks a bad name!...
