I've got a message for the rioters in Baltimore. #BaltimoreRiots
Posted by Ray Lewis on Tuesday, April 28, 2015
Retired Ravens’ linebacker Ray Lewis made plea to the city of Baltimore and its citizens Tuesday morning:
”Get off the streets. Violence is not the answer. Violence has never been the answer.
“We know there’s a deeper issue. We know what the jungle looks like, but this isn’t it. There’s enough of us in the streets trying to change what’s going on. Baltimore get off the streets. Kids: Go home, stay home. You don’t have no right to do what you’re doing to this city. Too many hard working people built this city.”
Lewis took his message to Twitter, where he said the following:
No way, No way this can happen in our city...
