Random thoughts on the passing Baltimore scene....
1. Horrible for our new Repub gov to be put in this position. He has tried to hang back but (hopefully) now might put some more pressure on the “local” situation.
2. Rawlings-Blake, for whom I have had some grudging respect, really screwed up with her “let’s give them some space for destruction” comments. Never mind her typical-modern-day-Dem “containment” scheme, rather than guns blazing.
3. These scum....I can’t even begin.
4. What of the greatest hospitals in the world? Johns Hopkins is already in the red zone as it is, and UM is surrounded, and the trauma center there will be both overrun by this “protest” itself...what of people outside Baltimore who need Shock Trauma now? Will Medevac get in? These scum.....
5. Just the other week I drove our young son right through Baltimore as the best route to get to our doctor, he was excited to see the stadia, the Constellation, the other museum ships (as well as the Aquarium which he saw a few years back). A few days later we went and parked downtown at the harbor and visited the Science Center. All around Easter. Now, that is hellhole.
6. Must be breaking my mother’s heart, even as she is angry about it. Baltimoron by birth and raising, loved it, before those other riots.
Looting at 221 East Baltimore
Man with gun on Poplar Grove and North
They are preparing to break apart a group of looters. Munitions and rushing the crowd...
Naturally Fox News is nowhere to be found...
