No, it won’t happen in our community.
It might happen about 30 miles away, but there are a half-dozen communities between here and there that will be standing alongside the police to turn them back.
You may remember the bridge blockade in Gretna, LA, in the aftermath of Katrina. It’s not quite as easy to control access here, but it won’t take many people to secure the perimeter.
Cummings forgot to add that it could happen anywhere Democrats control the cities. Not likely to happen elsewhere.
Highly questionable Democrat policies have failed at social justice, equality, accountability, and created chaos. As a result low information voters engage in street battles.
Elijah Cummings (D) and other leftists fail to explore “root causes” because such includes decades of failed policies imposed by Democratic mayors and city leaders.
I don’t want this post to sound racist, but some will take it that way, so I’m going to say what I feel I must:
The problem with these riots are the being fed by the government, food stamps, welfare, no father in the home, to many half brothers and sisters in the same home.
The mother that slapped her child for being in that mess the other day was a rare example of what should happen. She is a single mother, has 5 other children, works, and cares about her children and what they do, that is really rare to find in ‘a riot filled’ group.
I also feel that since Obama took over as leader, more food stamps, more welfare, because certain people thought they ‘deserved’ it.
This Great Nation was built on hard work, family, God, helping one another, but yet you look around today and see that God is out of schools, some of us don’t get together on Sunday for Church and dinner at one of the family’s home, we don’t have time for this and we don’t have time for that....why not, when the farmers would work all day in the fields, tend to their farm animals, mow the lawns, and mom would bake, sew, clean house, bottle food for winter, the kids had jobs they had to do after school, homework, and then off to bed to start another day, and we are ‘to busy’ to bring these things back into our homes, our lives?
You can’t take your computer, I-phone, I-pad, brand new big home, brand new car, designer clothes and shoes, this vacation and that vacation to Heaven...the one thing you can do is make memories of Grandma and Grandpa, Uncles and Aunts, cousins, and what the Good Lord tells us to do....
This is what is wrong with America, bring back the good old times and America will heal....
And I applaud this mom from Baltimore for what she did, she knows what is important!
“Md. rep: ‘Baltimore can happen anywhere’”..........yes in black areas that are and have been controlled by black politicians.
I doubt it will happen here. Our state is much more Second Amendment Friendly.
Ummm... NO.
It requires two things.
It requires a special culture, a large percentage of indolent existing on welfare, having no education, no skills, a monumental sense of entitlement, and a primitive culture existing in a predator-prey environment.
The second requirement is an enabling system run by "elected" criminals from the same culture, immune from the laws that apply to the working taxpayers, with an endless checkbook throwing money at the growing problem.
Destroy the town?
No problem. "We'll rebuild! With Grants and "loans" which can never, and will never, be repaid. Free money.
Rinse and repeat.
You mean the chances of negros rioting is high whereever they congregate
Not in my little dull white-bread town.
Yes, just as soon as enough angry Muslim immigrants populate your neighborhood.
There are enough well armed rednecks like myself in our little corner of east Texas that the probablity of thuggery riots is pretty slim. Heck I got some new toys to try out if they would like to bust into my house to loot.
It can happen in any inner city.
Oh how I’d love to tie that asswipe to a barn door, bare his back and give him the your-name-is-Toby treatment.
“Would Salt Lake City, Portland, and Seattle also count as “anywhere”?”
Salt Lake, nope. Portland and Seattle yes, and there are recent examples. OWS proved that. The key isn’t that it is limited to racial demographics, it is that they are predominately leftist, progressive, communist.
Anywhere barry’s sons live.
Police strangle a loosie salesman in Staten Island and nothing. An idiot cop wannabe shoots a suspect in Tulsa and there isn’t any rioting. Police blow away a 12 year old boy on Cleveland and an unarmed man in the Walmart outside of Dayton and no looting. Heck it seems like cops are shooting unarmed suspect left, right, and center and no violence. So I don’t think it can happen anywhere. Only where the outside agitators can get to the site easily.
Eli, you ignorant slut.
This the new black political strategy, “Give us what we want, or we’ll burn your cities down.” They tried that back in the 1960’s, how well did that work out for them? Come to think of it, they mostly burned (and burn) down their own neighborhoods, and then stick everyone else with the bill for cleanup.
