Obviously not in Philadelphia, Baltimore or New Orleans. Give a city democrat control for a few decades and it becomes a sewage pit.

Good call. Stay away from the garbage dumps of the world.

I think it is highly likely that the lawyers for the insurance companies are already preparing to deny claims based in part on the words of the Mayor.

i think there’s a bunch. there’s now a pub gov and the rural part of the state is excellent. It’s only yards up on the hilltop at annapolis that it really stinks. Navy yard is there and worth a trip.

The Inner Harbor is not what it once was. There are a lot of aggressive pandhandlers there, and the cops can’t do anything about it. They have rights, you know. The rest of us don’t.

The Mayor will never live down that incredibly irresponsible edict.

She's one of those libs that, faced with such an uprising, thinks, "Oh, they're just letting off a little steam. They can't be that bad." Well, Ms. Mayor, they are that bad.

If the people were smart, they would have never elected that doofus.

I wonder how many conventions were moved from Indianapolis to Baltimore. Oh, the irony...

S/ can’t do justice to this insanity.
