My daughter graduated from Loyola last year. Thank God! And may all the college students be safe, and not go to see the excitement.

No Republicans left in Baltimore to blame. A few spread around MD, tho. Not many.

The bimbo Mayor should have thought of this before she told the police to let give Holder's people space to destroy.

Even the leadership is low information.

I had (have) family in Baltimore, and went there for years. Inner Harbor is a great place. The aquarium is amazing. Too bad it's been turned into a jungle of fire.

Pretty soon a lot of businesses will be following the Colts.

Ditto! So far, 15 officers have been injured, and two are still being treated. The National Guard has been activated. Criminal gangs have joined forces and have threatened to assassinate white cops. The police are going to have difficulty defending themselves and they are ARMED! More than ever, citizens need to arm up!

I would agree. Arson during a riot is a form of terrorism.

I remember that! Baltimore fans were pretty upset. Citizens might be upset over the loss of business, but they have no one to blame but their mayor.

The Mayor should have given the topic an ounce of brain. If she believes that the thugs have the right to destroy private and public property, she should have given out her address and that of other members of her extended family and circle of friends and invited them to destroy those places first. Charity begins at home.

Affirmative action leadership: They’re stupid and they know it. And they know that they are secure in their positions and stupidity. It must be nice.

Imagine what this will do to the price of insurance for your brick-and-mortar businesses in Baltimore...

My friend, if there is one word I would use to describe her abject stupidity it would be: ghastly!

The “penned up...” folks, already live in that hell hole, or close by. Do you actually think these morons, were bothered by some Baltimore rukus? Good grief, the city made money on this farce. Big money, and more to come. Please don’t portray simplicity, as a cause for this prime-time extortion, written large, by the in-charge.

The Mayor is just a symptom.

Yeah, I think her reelection chances are looking poor. Half the town is PO'd that she hadn't stopped the violence, the other half is PO'd she hasn't stopped the cops.

White leftist “liberals” helped elect this mayor. Screw them. Let Baltimore become the next Detroit. BTW, the owner of the Baltimore Orioles is a left wing Democrat trial lawyer who donates megabucks to left wing causes and Democrat candidates.

I wonder if anyone will be able to get insurance at any price for a while!
