Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a positive force in many people’s lives, both as an entertainer and upstanding citizen. As the riotous uproar in Baltimore spreads to every corner of society, some public figures have made statements in an effort to calm the rumbling unrest. The Rock has joined the chorus of people calling for peace, despite deep civic inequity and corruption.
Here are his tweets:
This won't reach everyone but it may reach a few. Destroying the city isn't the answer. I know what it's like to be down and frustrated…

But chaos won't get you heard. We need to honor the Gray family's wishes, end the violence and see real leaders emerge…

Ain't preachin' here, just sending word. #Baltimore

Whether The Rock is qualified to speak on social issues is another point entirely, but his heart is in the right place in calling for peace. Maybe his loyal fans will see it that way, too.
