Baltimore would've been more appropriate

That's awesome! Not the rubber bullets thing but them blasting Purple Rain in protest of it.

Cool. I can't help but wonder how Prince would've responded to these events if he was alive especially when it happened in his backyard. He probably would be helping out behind the scenes like giving money to help the victims or helping to fund organizations and none of us would've known about it.

I'd like to think he'd have shown up at last night's rally and told them all to "be cool".

As for "Baltimore", unfortunately, I doubt many of those in the crowd know about that song BUT playing "Purple Rain" gets the point across nicely.

.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

Given all we now know, that & more would seem extremely likely.

Heart wrenching in so many ways. Did it calm the situation? Did it help? Haunting. People looked calm in the clip.
