This entire episode from the rioting to the open support of the rioters by the mayor should serve as clear wake-up call to all of Baltimore's productive citizens and business owners to vacate that hellhole at the earliest opportunity. Those who choose to stay do so at their own peril.
Leave the city to the ferals and their radical leftist puppet masters who feign concern for the "plight" of the urban miscreants. The ferals will quickly turn on their sympathetic white enablers, but they will just chalk it up to their own "white privilege" being an antagonizing trigger for the poor, misunderstood victims of white oppression in a city controlled by blacks at every level.

Generally the professional black subclass included those that had fled Baltimore city and educated them selves. A woman that had successfully fled repulsed the advances of a former lover that went to prison while she went to college.
