there will be folks who will travel. the only concern we should have is there are some out of towners who are here so what i want to ask them is to please remain at piece. baltimoreans will remain at piece and understand that we feel justice is moving forward and we know mr. gray has become symbolic of the problems occurring throughout the country but baltimore knows what we need to do. we hear about people setting up voter registration lines. is that the real way to affect change? it is absolutely. when we came out the first day we sat out on the corner i call them my troops out there, they re registering the people to vote i understand the naacp is out there registering people to vote but certainly it is. there are a lot of people voting with the process, a way to have input. we select juries based on registered voters. if we want to be members of juries this is how we get to be involved in the process and how we change things if we change
crowd behind me, amanda, as we were speaking just this hour, we heard a very impassioned speaker, and i was saying at the top of this that i thought she hit the emotional peak so far of the last two and a half hours. what was the reaction where you were at? i think it was a definitely a gripping speech that was happening. there s so much solidarity here. i have met so many people from across the country, from california to new york, there are many out of towners here who came here in solidarity to stand for this protest. i also spoke to a father who has lived in baltimore for the last 25 years, and he said he had been following freddie gray s case since the very beginning and he made sure to come out the first night of uprisings last saturday. he also wanted to make sure his two sons came with him. he s a father of five young men and he wanted to make sure they saw what was going on. he believes this will be the next civil rights movement of
inciting. i really do. when you see all these kids show up all of the sudden some place, not the community, but kind of a hard-core radical element. many of them not from baltimore. i m seeing out of towners come in now. okay well i do believe that social media is doing that because a lot of people are telling me calling me, i m getting calls, e-mails on my business line my personal line that things are out in social media, in social media where i m a little tired. what about the disillusion, then? what about the disappointment tomorrow? well i don t think it s really going to be such a great disappointment tomorrow, because basically, all the paperwork has been turned over to the state s attorney. and i was just talking to the rempb. he said half the kids he talk to think tomorrow there is going to be a resolution. see, that s why we were trying to talk to them. and the congressman made sure
will be represented at the funeral today. reporter: three people. one of them is a baltimore native. very familiar with this community in particular. a community that has really seen a very difficult last week and a half or so. tensions are very high there after violence over the weekend. the pain of friends and family paying final respects to freddie gray came hours after his death sparked violence in baltimore. thousands protested peacefully. police say a few out of towners looted local businesses. please stop the violence. freddie gray would not want this. reporter: with 1200 officers on the scene, there were arrests. did they forget that we have a young man who s dead? reporter: fans were held inside camden yard until things died down. the city the justice and department are investigating,
perspective you gave us was perfect just to see about a football a little over a football field away is where apparently the shooter or shooters were positioned last night. you know also, though i know you ve been in touch with and we have two different demonstrators and been such a message that has been a narrative put out there but the question is who did this right? i mean these could be out of towners, these could be obvious they re not mart of this peaceful protest movement. reporter: brooke yeah listen we don t know. but quite honestly it s hard to separate the two because everyone is focused. the entire world is focused on this little section of land right here in ferguson, missouri. and what has happened here is that there have been protests after protests a teenager died here. a police officer was, you know they thought would be indicted here. that didn t happen. he was exonerated by two different investigations two different reports. and so it s hard to separate the
