Correct. The Baltimore metro area is 2.7 million people. If just 2% are idiots, criminals or instigators, that’s over 50,000 rioters, looters, etc.
The greater Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area has a total of almost 9.5 million residents.
A lot of people...And I’d guess realistically it’s probably more like 7 percent who’d take to the streets if the opportunity arises.
Perhaps. But, the sad thing is, these events are highly over-sensationalized by the media. The vast majority of Baltimore’s citizens are not rioting, looting, etc., and the vast majority of the city has not suffered (now) from rioting, looting, and arson. Unfortunately, as radiohead and others have pointed out, in the future, most of the city and its citizens WILL suffer from the actions of a small minority now, for a very long time...
“It’s like many retail stores today....they don’t prosecute shop lifters let alone go after them.”
Depends where I guess. Guy stole a TV from Wally World here monday morning with the loss prevention people trying to stop him. He got out of the store and the police took up the chase. Five minutes and 80MPH later he was shot in the head after being hit by a cruiser. Spaced out on meth and now probably perpetually spaced out. Unfortunately this may have been an over reaction by the police though, shooting a fleeing thief is not a good call most of the time.
The blame game at work.
We were living in Detroit until the riots. My dad sent all of us out of town until things cooled down. We moved to the suburbs before the end of the year. After that, I think we went into the city proper maybe twice before we moved out of state in the 70’s. It was just a no-go zone for whites after 1967.
Looks like Harm City wants to follow in those footsteps. So be it.
Useless idiot hipster chick.
Everything she possesses is bought by other people, especially her rich parents.
Totally ignored is that Baltimore is a multigenerational Democrat run and exploited city and is also mostly black run with with a majority black police force and city council and mayor. One thing that has not been reported and there seems to be a tight lid on is the racial composition of the group of six officers who have been suspended during the investigation. Does anyone have information on the six officers?
I was commenting on her voice, not her politics. But Fleetwood Mac domnated the music scene for quite a while in the late 70’s
The Mayor’s STAND DOWN order is Baltimore’s Benghazi!!

...” shooting a fleeing thief is not a good call most of the time”....
You drug yourself up...You steal,... You run from police....You pay the consequences. It’s that simple...even if it means a bullet to your head.
I really don’t care if the police rough someone up....quite ‘creating’ the circumstances to begin with.
Hope you post another Live Riot Thread for tonight.
I hear that Benghazi Baltimore is only 50-60 miles away from the Capital. Did any Libtards from D.C. participate in the riots? Is that the reason the Police were told to stand down?
