Complete Headline: First Baltimore Riot Bill Comes Due: $20,000,000 – Baltimore City Leadership Send Bill To FEMA, Forces All Americans To Pay….
It takes some kind of nerve to intentionally “provide space for people to destroy” a city, and then ask everyone who doesn’t live in the city to pay for it.
…”The $20 million estimate released by city officials does not include the cost to businesses of the unrest. The figure also does not include state or federal costs. It’s unclear when those figures will be tallied”…
[Snip]
The expenses — which go before the city’s spending board for approval Wednesday — include overtime for police and firefighters, damage to city-owned property and repaying other jurisdictions for police and other assistance.

Typical democrat solution ... make stupid mistakes and then make somebody else pay for them!
I supported keeping the Detroit bailout within Michigan, not because I liked it, but because the rest of America shouldn’t have to pay.
I’ve got the moral high ground here.
With democrats - it is ALWAYS someone else at fault and ALWAYS someone else that needs to pay (OPM)
How wonderful, to be assume our collective charity for the responsibility of local decisions.
Why not make the rioters work off the problems they created?
Better yet, why not sue the rich kids who organized this fiasco and tragedy? They have deep pockets through their trust funds....
Whats another 20 million?
The mayor and the police commissioner need to resign.
They are unfit to lead or to protect Baltimore.
Send the bill to Soros. He can pay it when he cuts checks to the “Protesters”.
The rioters should be sued for the money, especially the organizers.
Well now ... Take this 20 mil out of that multi-billion you got from the feds a few years back as stimulus. We already paid that bill ten times over I would say.
The bill should go to the one who gave the order not to shoot thugs who were attacking people and setting fires.
Let’s see if we have this correct
Baltimore
population is 68 % black
police department is 68 % black
fire department is 58% black;
school district is 86% black
school teachers are 72% black;
city council is 90% black;
Mayor is a black;
chief of police is black;
54% of population is on welfare;
and they believe that we the whites are
the reason they are living in poverty?
“According to Recovery.gov, one of Baltimore’s central ZIP codes, 21201, received the most stimulus funding in the city, a total of $837,955,866.”
That could be an address for city hall or a city office address for projects that cannot be attributed to a specific location.

January 27, 1993
“FEMA made an exceptional effort to qualify the Los Angeles riots as a disaster under the Stafford Act, which does not include riot in its definition of “disaster.” Our people delivered assistance under difficult circumstances, including threats to their personal safety.
To date FEMA has disbursed $117,626,955 to help Los Angeles riot victims. This sum includes home repair assistance to 399 families, rental and mortgage assistance to 6,738 families, cash grants to 1,180 families to cover the replacement of personal property and other necessary expenses, and unemployment assistance to 3,307 individuals. The city and county have received $80 million for their losses and response costs.”
“Mayor there’s a terrible riot happening!”
“Hooray! We hit the FEMA jackpot! Whoopie!”
Why the HELL should I pay for this criminal activity??
