With the violence sweeping Baltimore threatening to scare away tourists and the city's huge convention industry, officials are working overtime to build in new security around the downtown convention center and promising to keep people safe.

Good Morning Baltimore, there’s the flasher who lives next door, there’s the bum on his bar room stool, to wish me luck on my way to school...the rats on the street, they dance ‘round my feet...

“Detroit, with crabs”...
OK I have been to Balt. a few times like 2 yrs ago...railroad museum, sports museum, view from 27th floor of World Trade Ctr in Inner Harbor, O’s ballgame. It wasn’t too bad (parked in a garage a few blocks away and walked it).
_Now_...? Ugh...
While there were some riots/protests near Camden Yards when the Red Sox were in town last weekend (and fans were told to stay put until it was clear...) it has been said most of the destruction, riots etc are a good 4 miles away from
that area.
Still...
Year before last while hunting up Fort Mc Henry, I crossed a Baltimore bridge and dodged a big hole through which I could see the ground below
i drove on the old (1800’s) hiway west through west Baltimore and was anxious the whole time
To understand the players in this tragedy, watch The Wire, all 5 seasons. The public officials making the announcements are all depicted in the Wire.
And, once again, the white hut is calling for even more “police restraint”. I sure hope they burn down the residence of the mayor .
Who were the real criminals in the minds of the mayor? Those in the stadium or those rioting?
You ever see this video? It’s a short “tourism video” for Cleveland. Baltimore will be able to make one like this too if they keep it up.

The only good thing Baltimore has going for it is the Johns Hopkins Medical Center, the rest can burn to the ground for all I care.
Seems like EVERY big city Mayor is a worthless f-tard worse than the last, but this witch is doing her best to try and stand out in the crowd. Kudos, *itch. I hope the rioters trash your f..ing house and overturn your car.
Orioles (versus White Sox) baseball game was postponed because they were right outside the stadium. I think this is the first time since 9/11 that a baseball game has been postponed for any reason other than weather, way to go Baltimore! “Charm City”!
Here she is last year speaking as an expert on the subject
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake spoke Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press." She said it would be "very unusual" to use military equipment "against your own citizens." Rawlings-Blake noted her city's response to the Occupy Wall Street movement and said it had gone well because police were "judicious in the use of force."

Cities never recover from black riots. The smart people will get out now while the ‘gettin’ is good’...
All the savages need to do is to look at Detroit; they never recovered from their native uprising of 1967.
Most insurance policies have an “act of war” clause that they can use to deny claims. The ferals have declared war on the civilized people.
Baltimore’s transitioning to hellhole... smart people need to get out of there while their property still has some value.
I wasn’t referring to the voters.
Baltimore is no longer a destination for free thinking citizens of the world, it has been exposed as a city that hates law and order.
I guess “Charm City” is losing its charm.
“we also gave those who wished to destroy, space to do that as well.”
Great idea!
I want to live in Baltimore, where professional arsonists have it easy.
LMAO!!
