You got your job just because of what you look like. You are no more fit to be mayor than my dog. Actually my dog would be a better mayor.
She sounds as dumb as a box of rocks.
The Class Action Civil Lawsuit is going to be EPIC....
She has already sealed it, and confirmed her PERSONAL Civil Liability with those words.
Anyone harmed in any way by the rioting now has a Civil Claim against the city.
This is going to cost the City of Baltimore 10’s of millions of dollars.
She looks like she rather be at the “clubz”.
And imagine that this is where our national anthem was penned.
She needs to get with the program. Obviously, her statement was too "nuanced" for most of us to understand what she meant.
But, I don't think that's what she really meant. I think she really did mean that, in an effort to allow peaceful protests, they inadvertently gave space to those who wanted to destroy [property]. She went on to say that they wanted to be in a position to de-escalate, when/if possible, and I think the point she was making is that if they had simply set the police on the protesters with tear gas, rubber bullets, tasers, etc., it could have caused an escalation, where more and more people (in particular, non-violent participants) would react violently to being "attacked".
I am in no way defending the rioting and violence, nor do I necessarily agree with the relatively passive approach the police took, but I do think this woman's statement is being misunderstood.
Flame away if you must...
Changing Tagline.
If she misspoke, she should have corrected her statement immediately and not allowed the “misinterpretation” of permission to destroy (including giving them one more night before instituting a curfew) to continue for days.
“It’s a very delicate balancing act, because, while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to deescalate, and that’s what you saw.”
Hmmm?
Does someone have a TRICORDER they can run this thru?
It didn’t come out the way she wanted it to because she forgot that she wasn’t just talking to other black homey’s. That’s why.
In her defense, I think the woman is quite genuinely stupid.
That’s the usual after-the-foot-inserts-in-the-mouth liberal excuse. What we heard was the heart spittling her liberal mindset. The truth about her mindset was too much truth for the rabble, so she is trying to get her fallen-arches-foot out of her mouth now so her imbalanced mind will not be so openly displayed.
Someone give the mayor a teleprompter...
Van Jones explained that all away last night. Now, move along...
Surprised she isn't out there beside the looters, burning cars.
How did we get to this?
