Baltimore.

Here we have an African-American President appointing an African-American Attorney General to investigate the African-American-lead police force of an African-American city with an African-American mayor. About their racism.

Racism against African-Americans.

40 years ago, this could have been the script for a satirical comedy.

As I read the headline it hit me that this is the sort of stuff I was predicting when the housing collapse hit. It was just masked from me by the racial meme.

Williams is right.

I would think shop lifting, rioting a looting would have an impact on the economics of the area. So in a way Walter is right.

It's a vicious self-perpetuating cycle not by accident.
Marxist big governmental policy caused the economic conditions that spawned the rioting, and the rioting is used as a bludgeon to promote racism, divisiveness, and more Marxism.

Truth to be told, it’s the failed policies of liberal Democrat government that has failed all peoples.

Completely correct. In fact, the breakup of the two-parent family unit in Detroit and Baltimore is a major reason why both cities fell into ruin. Detroit has finally recognized this and started to take steps to finally revive the city. With the start of the construction of the New International Trade Crossing bridge, Detroit could experience a major economic revival as the trans-border shipment point of goods between Canada and the USA long before Baltimore revives.

How odd. Beginning in the fifties, the South was so racist the feds started getting all over Southerners and blacks moved to the North in droves. Now the North is full of black violence, ruined cities, and racism. Trouble just seems to follow blacks around. I wonder what the problem could be?

Why is there even a single building standing in Baltimore.

Rush just said there has been over 50 shooting since the riots.

Wait. ...never mind. ...Black on Black.

Not cop on Black.

MEMORY

IF I ever go back to Baltimore,
The city of Maryland,
I shall miss again as I missed before
A thousand things of the world in store,
The story standing in every door
That beckons with every hand.

I shall not know where the bonds were riven
And a hundred faiths set free,
Where a wandering cavalier had given
Her hundredth name to the Queen of Heaven,
And made oblation of feuds forgiven
To Our Lady of Liberty.

I shall not travel the tracks of fame
Where the war was not to the strong;
When Lee the last of the heroes came
With the Men of the South and a flag like flame,
And called the land by its lovely name
In the unforgotten song.

If ever I cross the sea and stray
To the city of Maryland,
I will sit on a stone and watch or pray
For a stranger’s child that was there one day
And the child will never come back to play,
And no-one will understand.
