The riots in Baltimore have been all over the news, and sadly for this guy, so is the video of his mom smacking him. 

The people of Baltimore, Maryland have been rioting over the suspicious death of Freddie Gray, a 25 year-old who died suspiciously in police custody. The Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has declared a state of emergency and the National Guard has been activated. Protestors and rioters are on streets, with destruction being seen all over the city.

In a moment when there is nothing but horrible words and images coming from the destruction in Baltimore, there was a rare lighter moment in the chaos. One alleged mother saw her son dressed in all black, participating in the riots. Rather than stand aside and allow her child to be in the riots, she gave him a whooping he may never forget. Mostly because it was caught on camera by a local news station, WMAR, who proceeded to allow CNN to use the footage. Now, the video has gone viral and people all over the world have seen his mama whoop his butt on tv. Good thing you're covering your face. That is, until your mom smacks your disguise off.
