Student 'Purge' Threat Shuts Down Baltimore Businesses, Schools
The Baltimore Sun ^ | Monday, April 27, 2015 | Erica L. Green

The University of Maryland, Baltimore and numerous downtown businesses closed early Monday, citing concerns about potentially violent activity in the area.

Lexington Market, a city courthouse and businesses including T. Rowe Price and Venable LLP said police warned them of large gatherings and protests downtown.

According to widely circulated flier, a high school "purge" was to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin and ending downtown.

Such memes have been known to circulate regularly, but today's has led to bolstered police presence around the city.

The flier includes an image of protesters smashing the windshield of a police car this past weekend after a march spurred by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died earlier this month after being arrested by city police, turned violent and destructive.

A post on the University of Maryland Baltimore's website said that the closure was prompted by a recommendation from city police. The campus will also stop shuttle service.

The idiot just called these people assaulting the cops on camera, “Protestors”.

Good grief...

Ya know in the future, I can see all the cops spending all their time protecting themselves. No joke..

Looks like Freddy did some time around 9-08 to 10-12.
Must have had a good lawyer after that because he’s
been pretty steady since then. On the other hand
this is just the arrest record, you never get rid of
that, and not a record of convictions.

Shep Smith on Fox News is referring to the rioters as “kids”, “children” and “teenagers”. That’s the meme going on.

The Police need to throw the rocks back at them and lets the cards play out.
One officer threw a rock back and they scattered, punks all.

This is not a protest, this is criminal violence that deserves hard-core
feedback with extreme prejudice. This is what happens when you create a revolving
door especially designed to keep Black numbers in prison, low.

How's that working out for Ya'll Liberal retards?

You can feel the panic in the police voices on the Baltimore scanner right now. It’s gonna be a long night there.

“Purge” seems like a new word. The kind of thing you do when you don’t want to admit what you are really doing: rioting and vandalism.

Too bad they only have replica cannon on the Sloop of War Constellation in the Inner Harbor. Amazing the effect a few broadsides of grape and chain would have ...

I do hope someone has a plan for dragging her and the other historic ships there to safety. Taney (a Pearl Harbor survivor) is pretty well boxed in, and is going to be difficult to quickly get out, unfortunately.
