Scrabulary Word of the Day - 05-09-15 'VIOTING"

VIOTING = VIOLENCE + RIOTING

Last Sunday (5/3/15) I was watching Meet the Press and Chuck Todd interviewed the mayor of Baltimore, MD, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.  Baltimore had just sustained a night of rioting in protest of the treatment of Freddie Gray who died while in custody of the Baltimore police.  Todd asked her if she regrets saying "space to destroy" (the online version says she actually said "Space was given to protestors in Baltimore who 'wished to destroy'.") She replied:


"I would never condone vioting."
