Baltimore Rioters Try to Light Business Owner on Fire
Pundit Press ^ | 4/30/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/30/2015 10:53:55 AM PDT by rightistight

Rioters in Baltimore tried to light a business owner on fire Monday, successfully burning his place of business. Luckily, they failed to murder him.

Essam el Ghannam, the owner of Papa Palace, a pizza restaurant, was attacked Monday by Baltimore protesters. Rioters came to his place of business and screamed, "Fire him. Fire the dirty pizza man." They then sprayed him with lighter fluid.

“Then they poured the lighter fluid on me, on my car and hit me with flames from lighters," Ghannam said. He was able to escape, but his business did not survive the flames.

...“This is my life. I do not know why they do this to me. But it will not stop me,” Ghannam exclaimed.

More than that, Ghannam said he is going to get a gun to protect himself from now on. “I will reopen. I’m gonna secure my business very good. Get a weapons license and protect my shop.”

Another form of reparations to liberals.

The mayor orderd that the city burn By ordering cops to stand down while it happened.

Another leftist “solution” leaving the community destroyed And innocents unprotected.

Liberals care more for criminals than innocent citizens. The whole reason these riots are going on proves it.

It’s virtually impossible to get a carry permit in MD — that’s why.

No they wanted to engage, the mayor told them all to stand down while it happened.

“Democrats running the show”

Yep, I live in NE Fla. We have a black mayor. during the ferguson fiasco some of them thought they would block bridges around afternoon rush hour. Our sheriff had them swiftly arrested, in front of a judge and off to jail before they even knew what happened. They found out that day who really runs our town, and it ain’t the mayor...........also, that little “misbehavin’” hasn’t happened since.

Yes, they were told to act with “restraint” — that word came from the King himself.

Democratic control of Baltimore is the main cause of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

We saw in Baltimore the scum of the earth, criminal thugs in action after receiving from the democratic mayor carte blanche to destroy the city.

Baltimore needs a new mayor, Toya Graham, the mother that took his son from the mob.

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and "community organizers" followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" strategy.

According to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.

Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral?

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.

Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show

Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With "Failed Liberal Democrat Policies"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3284755/posts

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

"I was telling my husband, so THIS is why they want the law abiding citizens to lose our guns!"

Feel at ease. No one is ever going to take our guns. It just won't happen even if it were Legislative law signed by the Marxist/Muslim-in-Chief.

I remember back in the '90's when California outlawed the evil looking semi-auto rifles (think AR-15) and were required to turn them over to the authorities. No one I knew who had one (even a couple liberals) did so.

Now in the Socialist State of California, you can only buy those same rifles with a stupid lock on the magazine that requires a special pointed tool to change mags. Of course, all it takes is a pointed pen, but the socialist bleeding hearts feel so much better. Their heads exploded when the USSC Heller decision came down. I could here them moaning for miles.

Can't wait until the savages attempt to attack white, asian, black suburbs. Had a talk about this with the wife yesterday. Told her if I see some ghetto types moving down our street with torches/molotov cocktails in hand, I will no longer abide by CA's strict laws about entry regarding deadly force.

Think about this: If they mean to arson your home and you're there, THAT is attempted murder. You are well within your rights to kill them. Doubt anyone would be prosecuted.

I saw a new report of some minister complaining on folks not investing enough in the communities, well hard to invest a business when the “hood” is a craphole ran by failed leadership, and folks who do not give a damn to do their part to make the hood better like not having a baby before marrage, speaking good english, learning job skills.

The commie left has long wanted to use street thugs like these to launch their revolution. And commie left is precisely what we have in and around the Obama administration.

With any luck it might get approved sometime around Christmas, 2037.

care to explain to me how "white privilege" applies in this case?

Exactly. What can the Left say about this one? I guess, similar to Zimmerman, they'll make him an honorary "Christian Muslim" so they can claim he's part of the oppressive power structure.

"He just needs to go into a partnership with some Koreans. They seem to know how to ward off the urban [savages] outdoorsmen.

I was watching TV regarding the police verdicts about Rodney King. I witnessed in real time the flash point at some liquor store in Los Angeles. After watching a huge part LA burn for days, I was almost at the point of tears. I was born there and other than my Navy time, had always lived within its suburbs.

THE only thing that lifted my spirits was the helo video of the Koreans atop their stores with rifles pointing down at the sub-humans. Don't remember one of their establishments being looted or destroyed

If only the good Blacks of Baltimore knew that the feral youth were going to destroy their businesses they may also have defended their livelihood as did the Koreans.

For any thug reading this and wants to start a race war, come on down to Orange County, CA. Bring your 9's and your Uzi...you will run out of ammunition long after I duck&cover and then blow off your kneecap and and/or gentitals. I won't aim to kill you, I don't want you to go out that easy. I will maim you for life and you will wish you were dead. But if you keep coming...

I do not know why they do this to me.

Without the ability to attach themselves to a living cell, viruses cannot begin to destroy it.
