Protesters gathered Saturday in response to the Freddie Gray case and tried to get that game canceled. On Monday, people gathered and began looting stores and getting into it with the police. The state declared the situation a national emergency and activated the Maryland National Guard.
Monday’s movement seemed to be activated via students on social media.
