Reading Michael Auslin on the baseball game played in an empty Camden Yards, I couldn’t help thinking of another sports event, six years ago. Israeli tennis players were forced to play a Davis Cup match in an empty arena. This was in Sweden. Why? Well, you know: same reason as in Baltimore. “Youths.” “Protesters” who were “angry” at “injustice.”

Barbarism leads to empty arenas, empty cultures — and often, of course, to corpses.
