#Baltimore:

The funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died in police custody this month, had ended hours earlier at a nearby church. According to the Baltimore Sun, a call to "purge"—a reference to the 2013 dystopian film in which all crime is made legal for one night—circulated on social media among school-aged Baltimoreans that morning. The rumored plan—which was not traced to any specific person or group—was to assemble at the Mondawmin Mall at 3 p.m. and proceed down Pennsylvania Avenue toward downtown Baltimore. The Baltimore Police Department, which was aware of the "purge" call, prepared for the worst. Shortly before noon, the department issued a statement saying it had "received credible information that members of various gangs…have entered into a partnership to 'take-out' law enforcement officers."

Xenophobic attack was an anti foreigner violence that started in Durban South Africa and extended to some parts of Johannesburg. It was believed that unemployed South Africans were of the view that other African nationals have taken up their jobs and so decided to attack them so they return to their homelands.This was believed to have been sparked by an alleged statement by the Zulu King asking all foreigners to go back to their countries.
