To correct other posts on this thread, Catherine Pugh is now the mayor of Baltimore. Rawlings-Blake did not stand for re-election.
I think that the most disappointed people in Baltimore this morning are the idiots that were planning to vandalize, tear down or protest and riot at these sites.
President Trump said yesterday that the decisions about such statues are up to local government. I think that Ms. Pugh’s decision was a pragmatic one. Baltimore does not need any more riots.
True. However Rawlings-Blake is the one who started the ball rolling for removal. It's her baby originally.
