much copycat. i was talking to one person in east baltimore who said folks saw people on tv out running and looting and they were starting to loot their own neighborhoods. and a lot of discontent that they are targeting corner stones convenience stores that folks go to shop in every day. >> ben jacobs from the guardian on the streets of baltimore this hour. you're seeing live pictures of baltimore firemen attempting to put out several fires. that large fire in east center. that's another fire burning. several cars on fire throughout the city. we should note for context here in relation to the massive riots in 1968 the unrest we've seen today has been quite limited compared to that. although quite a bit of construction. quite a bit of businesses loot.
