Police are urging all parents of Baltimore to locate their children and bring them home, as the riots consist of a large number of juveniles.


What? You mean you want parents to actually start parenting NOW? Even if the majority of these fine stand-up citizens actually wanted to do something about their children. The system has stripped parents of any authority and parenting tools as it is. All children have to do nowadays is make one call to "Safe-To-Tell" or the Bostonian equivalent, and the parent is f___ed for life.

[beatdeadhorse]I am sick of this shit

I have a friend who's cousin lives in downtown Baltimore. He just text her. This was her reply:

"it feels like gotham city, left downtown, staying at my friends place outside of town"

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey....bash up some cops and cop cars.....and steal some shit.

What's the problem?

This is 0'Malley's Marylandistan and it's just going to get worse. There was a moment I might have sympathized with them, but that moment is long past. That community is doing nothing but alienating any support they had, making themselves more and more of the unwanted outsiders. ...just waiting for the same to occur here in CO.

That community is doing nothing but alienating any support they had, making themselves more and more of the unwanted outsiders. ...just waiting for the same to occur here in CO.

Fortunately, they don't have the numbers here in the Springs.
But, they're eager to try it out:

This is from Saturday night:
http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/Multiple-Fights-lead-to-a-Carnival-Shut-Down-301346981.html

What began as many small fights grew to involve hundreds of teens in what the El Paso County Sheriff's Office says became a "near riot."

Over 30 officers from the Colorado Springs Police Department, State Patrol, and the El Paso County Sheriff's office were on scene at a carnival on Palmer Park Blvd. and N. Powers Blvd. in Colorado Springs.

The Sheriff's Office arrived just before 9 p.m. Saturday to break up the crowd. Those involved reportedly tried to resist the deputies attempts to end the disturbance.

According to Springs police, the deputies called for emergency assistance from the police department at approximately 9:45 p.m.

Police say when officers arrived several hundred people had surrounded the deputies as the deputies were trying to stop a fight.

The deputies managed to get out of the crowd and move back to an area where they and police officers put on protective equipment.

Police say they fighting continued as law enforcement officers shut down the carnival.

Police say about 150 people tried to tip over a ticket booth while employees were still inside. Law enforcement officers made a line to protect the booths and keep the crowd back. Police say the crowd moved back abut 30 yards, but hung around for another half hour taunting law enforcement.

The Sheriff's Office released the following statement on Facebook Sunday:
"There has been a lot of misinformation surrounding the disturbance at the carnival at Palmer Park and Powers Boulevard last night. There have been reports of reports of stabbings and tazings plus broken windows. We would citizens to know there was no damage to any property, no reported injuries by citizens and there were no TASER deployments."

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says this is the first time in at least 25 years the carnival has been shut down due to a riot type situation.

Three people were cited for attempted assault of a peace officer and resisting arrest. No weapons were involved and no injuries were reported, according to police and the sheriff's office.

This crap has already happened here with Officer Adsit.

This crap happens when the rule of law is not applied equally to all men...which means there is NO rule of law.

It will get worse, prepare accordingly.

[Big E3]

How long before this crap spills into a neighborhood and people start using real weapons to defend life and property and somebody dies? What will be the cries of the protesters and city leaders then? It is encouraged as long as it is just police and public property that gets destroyed. Since it's the new norm to allow protestors to burn and pillage city property, It won't be long before we hear how they need more tax dollars to buy more equipment.

[Mtn.man]

They are entitled.

[crays]

How long before this crap spills into a neighborhood and people start using real weapons to defend life and property and somebody dies?

Probably tonight, tomorrow night at the latest.

[BPTactical]

I thought this was great:


Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the press that her city "gave those who wished to destroy space to do that" at last night's protest.
"I made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech.

"It's a very delicate balancing act. Because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate





I really hope every person/business that suffers a loss of any kind sues the shit out of the city.
The dumbass mayor admitted willful negligence to enforce the law and protect property.


But the poor, poor Dindu's.....

A CVS Pharmacy was reported to be on fire and heavily damaged by looting and vandalism... all CVSs in the Baltimore city limits have been closed.

The MD National Guard has been called up, the Governor declared it a state of emergency. Prayers with the brave BPD officers and NG folks that have to go into that melee.

[Dave_L]

That place is getting crazy.

[MrPrena]

One less stones on the street,
One less fire accelerents on the street,
One less wooden sticks and pipes on the street,

....and we could have prevented this. [Sarcasm2]

[Gman]

Was watching the looting of the CVS on a live feed while I was at work. A couple of police vehicles were burning just around the corner. More and more scumbags were taking advantage of an alternative shopping event....then they set it on fire. Looked like roaches scattering when you turn on the lights...except these roaches were carrying merch. A textbook example of moral depravity.

This is how you don't have any services in your neighborhoods, morons.

Just build a wall around the place and write it off.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Escape from New York.

Not a bad idea really, when you think about it.

[Aardvark]

Anyone notice an uptick in scumbags at the shows lately?

[ANADRILL]

This will last longer than Ferguson, as there more to loot in Baltimore, and the police will do nothing...

[hollohas]

The mayor announced they'd have room to destroy and that's what they're doing. She should be fired over that. Now the governor is calling in the National Guard.

Fox and the Daily Beast are reporting that the Nation of Islam brokered a deal between the bloods, the crips and the black gorilla family for a temporary truce between them so they can unite and fight the police as one force. The budding race war just joined the war on terror. Oh boy.

I tittered.

The cops have definitely been told to stand down, which is easy because they are supremely out-numbered and ill-prepared. I think that POTUS is forbidding the NatGuard from being deployed. And yes, it's the state's right to deploy their NG's, but doesn't mean POTUS is sending the state a clear message "Better Not..." in the meantime.

[gnihcraes]

Yes, I had a lot to say. Others are covering it for me. [facepalm]

I too thought the same thing about the handicap lady running from the car. Once I thought about it for a moment, being a handicap carrying member, I can too move pretty f'n quick. Painfully, but I can do it. (probably not her hang tag anyways, or her car even) :)

[Gman]

(probably not her hang tag anyways, or her car even) :)
That's the impression I got. Looks like she's trying to use the car to block the road.

We're also handicap carrying members + CCW. Fight or flight, they say. I only run from fire. [Firema]

[Great-Kazoo]

The reporter on the street from CNN is asking fairly tough questions and not happy the mayor is side stepping the issue. He's even questioning how one can say they are outside agitators, when the majority of them are local. Good for him, hold their feet to the city's fire.

Things have been worse. Whitelock and Mondawmin...haven't been decent neighborhoods since before the 68 riots.

I wonder how warm it will be this summer in the Big Cities of the USA. Most places are one "unarmed" death away from civil unrest.

All I can say is that the cops are showing incredible restraint. I'm not sure I could resist turning it into a live fire exercise.

[speedysst]

All I can say is that the cops are showing incredible restraint. I'm not sure I could resist turning it into a live fire exercise.

Well, from what others have said, the cops are being forced to show restraint. They mayor wants the fine citizens to have "space" to destroy and steal other people's stuff. I mean, what's next, an evacuation order for the civilians so the "protesters" can have even more space to destroy? "Dear citizens, we ask that you leave the city because we wouldn't want anyone, including the police, to try and stop the poor protesters from expressing their frustration at your expense."

[kidicarus13]

Who's this "they" and "they're" some of you are talking about? [emoji87] If the scenes from Baltimore surprise any of you...

Ooppps...

From FoxNews (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/04/28/national-guard-arrives-in-baltimore-after-day-and-night-rioting-following/):


A police source told Fox News several gangs, including Black Gorilla Family, Bloods and Crips all had “entered into a partnership to take out law enforcement officers.”

Someone at Fox should probably proofread the copy a little better.

[Ronin13]

Fox News has a live feed from the air of the aftermath... in daylight it almost resembles some areas of Baghdad. Burned out cars, a husk of what was once a building (I'm assuming that construction site that was destroyed) and trash all over the street with spots where fires were burning. Didn't see any NG vehicles. Way to go B-More, burn your own city down...

[PSS]

I'm going to stick my neck out here and make a comment on the mayors words. If you read or hear the full text instead of the snippet that some news channels are playing, it seems clear to me what she's trying to say.


It’s a very delicate balancing act, because, while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well

She could have worded it better, but it's clear to me what she meant. I would hope our side would be more objective than some in the media. Lord knows the role the media plays in the racial tension. And they play both sides.

[PSS]

In addition to my comment above. It does however point out the fact that she misread the situation. There are far too many people that have their heads in the clouds about these demonstrations. All the officials know how the recent peaceful demonstrations have turned into violent free for alls. They should know whats going to happen if they give the room for a demonstration. In essence they are saying that the protesters anger is more important than public safety. Bad call that proves the inferiority of the liberal progressive doctrine.

[Bailey Guns]

Granted...she could've stated it better if that's what she meant. On the other hand, if that's not what she meant she should've owned up to her mistake and said that's not what she meant. She should NOT have denied saying what she said and THEN chastised the media for pointing it out.

[roberth]

Denver wouldn't allow it. The city is on a major growth spurt and economic boom. Those in power would want to protect that IMO.

I don't know, Mayor HandCock allowed some people to destroy a police memorial and he allowed some punks to block traffic on Colfax that resulted in the injuries to 4 DPD.

[hurley842002]

What happened to the "what if" thread?

[hollohas]

It's not clear to me what she meant if it was something other than what she said. The first time I heard her words it was in full context and it seemed to me that she did in fact mean that they were giving rioters room to vent. If that's not what she meant, then it must have been a different language.

A lot of people have been commenting (not just here) on the pictures of people stealing TP, etc. It may look funny that people are stealing TP but I think it sheds some light on the social situation there. Stealing is NEVER ok, never. But that fact that many of these folks are stealing TP and paper towels instead of big screen TV's might actually show what a bad situation they are in. Now I believe our personal situations are no one's fault but our own, and that's true for them too. But hell, if you have to STEAL TP just so you can wipe your ass each day, you truly are in a bad situation and it's time to make some life changes.

[kidicarus13]

What happened to the "what if" thread?

[GilpinGuy]

We've had to fire people at work who we're making $35k+ who stole TP, cleaning products, etc. Even tiny amounts of money, like $2. If they think they can get away with it, some people will steal anything.

[Bunny]

What role does the NG play in this? If they shoot they are in trouble.....is it just a show? I always get worried seeing those M4's and at any moment than can be over ran and those weapons are in the wrong hands.

Agreed. The lying Democrat's (but I'm repeating myself) words matched the RoE on the ground to date. She simply got caught being a Dem and the city attorney probably advised her to tailor her speech. It's one thing to quietly support lawlessness, it's another to openly admit you are complicit.

This is consistent with the belief that racial justice demands the law be conditionally enforced. Since LE contacts result in dead black men, the property crimes weren't worth the risk. "Give them room" because #BlackLivesMatter.

The only stores in these areas are the bodegas, liquor stores, and smoke shops. These are the only business that can survive in that environment. Anything that could be taken, was taken and if you watched Fox last night you saw some of these business owners interviewed (they were not happy). I don't think people were looting out of need but opportunity.

One of my takeaways from this situation is that this is happening with...

Generations of Dem leadership
Black President
Black AG
Black Mayor
Majority minority PD
Section 8
SNAP/WIC
Energy assistance
Scholarships/preferential college admissions
Affirmative Action employment
Public education


If there is something else to give, I don't know what else is left. Given our financial situation there is nothing else we can afford. If they want less dead black men, but don't want to discuss accountability for crime, the only solution is to pull LE out of these communities. Would that be justice when even more disproportionate numbers of black Americans are robbed, assaulted, raped, and murdered? I wouldn't want that! Would they feel better if all LE were black too? Well, that's segregation... Are they asking for that?

But worse... Could you imagine the big cities if any of the above are interrupted or eliminated?

I can't identify cell phones by sight and have no idea what they all cost. But that's my point. If one has an expensive phone but no TP, that individual needs to make some life changes.

One of the big "social planning" experiments the left is bought into is "urban planning and relocation" - getting people and businesses to move back to the cities and away from suburbia.

Fair enough. In that case, her plight is hopeless. She probably can't afford to move her and her kid out of there, she can't control her kid, and there's probably not much hope for her kid educating himself out of that environment.

As I mentioned yesterday (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/civil-unrest-has-begun-in-baltimore-and-this-is-only-just-the-start-of-something-much-bigger), I went on the record publicly regarding my belief that civil unrest was coming specifically to Baltimore during a speech I gave on the evening of April 11th (http://www.prophecyclubresources.com/ECONOMIC-COLLAPSE-WWIII-DEATH-OF-AMERICA-MICHAEL-SNYDER/productinfo/MS-ECW01/).

It feels like just a matter of time before all this spills out to every major city. I wonder when this will happen, police have been out of control for a while now, is this the answer? No, it is not, but what is?

[roberth]

It is just a matter of time. The Free Shit Army grows more restless every day, they deserve what you have and the politicians agree with the FSA.

I suppose we're going to be instructed to open our homes and let the FSA take what it wants. Instead of indirect assistance via government welfare stealing our money to give to these people there will be direct assistance straight from our homes to theirs.

[Bunny]

I agree, it's unreal how this world has and is turning out. Listening to Obamas amazing speech. I swear, no leadership in the White House all the way down the chain.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan Will Not Cover For Failure of Liberal Baltimore Mayor
As Baltimore Burns the media begins the blame game. Last night pressing the Maryland Governor on why it took so long for the Maryland National Guard to be activated Governor Larry Hogan cuts right to the chase: “Within 30 seconds of receiving the call, I activated the National Guard”.

The delay stems from Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake refusing to ask for assistance, and refusing to return phone calls from the Governors office. Start watching the video at 09:00 to see delivery:

Restate a position because 1 mother decided to impart some discipline? I don't think so, that 1 parent doesn't account for the thousands of others who dropped the ball.


Not to mention, her smacking her kid doesn't exactly make up for the 14-18 years of non-parenting that led her kid to that point, anyways. Far from being a hero, that lady is a huge part of the problem.

I believe you're both taking my funny post far too seriously.

Marc Lamont Hill was on CNN last night and he said the folks should be doing this and he said it was a revolt NOT a riot. He said they need to revolt to get things changed.

IMO, I dont think there is as much racial oppression as the liberals say there is but that's a larger discussion for another day. What really struck me was his idea of what a justifiable revolt is. When he said that I immediately thought to myself, a revolt is not looting for 40's, stealing TP and burning cars. A revolt targets people or systems that the fed-up group sees as the authority. The tactics can be peaceful protests or can be violent mobs but a true revolt has a goal of changing/removing the system or people that the oppressed see as being the problem. A revolt is by definition an uprising against authority.

In this case, even if they feel justified to "revolt", the neighborhood CVS where your grandma picks up her diabetes meds is not the oppressor. The local construction site is not holding people down. The car they stole and burned in the street is not an uprising against authority. The targets of their destruction prove these people are not revolting. It proves that they are just opportunistic criminals. Marc Lamont Hill is a moron.

I was watching the FoxNews live coverage last night, and they were covering that particular intersection with the burning cars and the 4 corner stores being looted, while the police had retreated a block back and were apparently waiting for the word to move back in and/or reinforcements. Before the one bodega (I want to say that the owners were middle Eastern, but heavily urbanized (they spoke with foreign-accent ebonics I'm not trying to be unpolitically correct, just accurate)) was finally looted, the store owners were saying that "THEY" were going to move in to loot unless the police stopped them. The owners wouldn't specify who "THEY" were, probably because they were trying not to antagonize the loiterers right next to them.

Anyways, I was thinking back to Ferguson where several businesses were backed up by the owners & their friends with weapons (pistols, shotguns, EBR's) and I remarked that things went pretty well for those businesses because people stayed away and the owners didn't have to fire a shot. Then I look at what was going on in BMore, and I wonder what would have happened if those bodega owners had weapons of their own and tried to defend the businesses:

A) Would the cops have been pressured to ensure protection or would the cops have demanded that the owners take their weapons and go home for creating "an unsafe environment"?
B) Would the crowds have picked an easier target, or if they were already in such close proximity, would they heckle and distract/confuse the owners, forcing them to take a shot, at which point the owners are *done* from a legal standpoint
1) In this situation, what if one of the thugs had a pistol of his own and wanted to stir shit, and took a shot at the owners? If the owners retaliated, again it's game over for them legally, and imagine the absolute shit-storm if they accidentally hit a bystander or a round penetrated an actual offending thug and still hit a bystander?

Going through those scenarios, I imagine that if I was a business owner, I'd feel like I could have no control over the situation and would probably decide to stay home and hope my insurance would cover things (lol yea right). Thinking that way pisses me off. The fact that after playing by all of the rules set by the authorities, the authorities hang you out to dry and let the criminals have their way, and if you decide to protect your life's work, the authorities will still defend the criminals and come down on you harder than a brick house.

The crazy thing, is that hillary will survive all of her "charitable foundation" shenanigans (it's already a forgotten news item, especially after the liberal clown-show in bmore came to her rescue) and she's going to be the next president because as obama cruised into office by the color of his skin, she's got a vagina and it'll be cool and hip to vote for the first female POTUS. Damn I hope I'm wrong.

Fair enough. In that case, her plight is hopeless. She probably can't afford to move her and her kid out of there, she can't control her kid, and there's probably not much hope for her kid educating himself out of that environment.

Hell..he might even charge at an officer, bitch slap him, and then reach into his squad car attempting to grab his service weapon. OH, after robbing a convenience store, I meant.

WTF are you talking about? Police out of control? If you're talking about the extremely few, but heavily reported, instances of police misconduct (thanks media) I can't help but think that you're among those making a mountain out of a molehill. If anything, the people are out of control, and the police are just reacting to that.

We keep hearing instances where blacks are being killed by police, then people riot. Almost every time it's before the facts are out, then after investigation the police acted within policy and legally, and yet these people still won't accept the truth. Welcome to the new America, facts be damned.

Kinda reminds me of the libtards afer active shooter events, saying gun violence is at all time highs and out of control when thats not the truth. "Never let a tragedy/disaster go to waste" - rules for radicals by Sal Alinsky. This is the lib playbook - push false narratives.

With hats on correctly and dressed like citizens not the usual teen / wannabe thugster look. AS is most of America dressed, Normal. It's not the color of one's skin that's the issue, it's the entitlement mentality. Which spans across this country like an untreatable rash.

[Dave_L]

We need more of that and more media reporting that stuff. It only takes a few to start a movement.

[rbeau30]

All men in the picture too. (in the view of the camera)

We need more Dads in the lives of these young people. Don't get me wrong, Mothers are good parents too. But sometimes situations in a child's life require the harsh reality of a dad's touch when children get out of line.

It is too easy for the father to become pushed out of a child's life nowadays. The system encourages it (yes even in the "Great Fathers' Rights State of Colorado"), ask me I know It is a constant uphill battle. I think that flaw in today's family unit will go a long way of fixing things.

Delfuego, the way people choose to dress is an action...

I agree Dave_L. Their Image (choice/action) goes a tremendous way to fighting against stereotypes.

Additionally, how someone chooses to present themselves is the most literal outpouring of their self-identity and/or aspirations... If they wish to dress like a thug, it clearly indicates that they relate closest with the "thug lifestyle" or at minimum wish that they did (some kids are just posers).

Actions, which I contend includes how they choose to present themselves and behave, speak louder than words.

[Irving]

I think both are true statements.

[sniper7]

Appearance is the first judgement. If you walked into a lawyers office and saw a guy in torn up sweatpants, a free desk off craigslist and a weed t shirt on, would you want him representing you?
what if the pilot of your airplane looked like a homeless pothead? You feel safe riding on that airplane?
or if your service tech coming to work on something in your house rolled up with a free candy van and had a severe phedophile look about him while constantly asking questions about your kids?

imagine matters, don't think for a second that people aren't and don't judge based on appearance. If any of those ip situations made you think "I would work with that person", then you are judge mental as well without even having to see the person in real life, just the thought alone gave you a predisposition.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Marc Lamont Hill is revolting. It used to infuriate me when Fox gave him a platform to spout his racist nonsense. It still bothers me that he is being paid to spew his biliious crap but I'm less bothered by it being on the Communist Nonsense Network as they have devolved to being nearly as much of a waste of time as MSNBC.


Marc Lamont Hill is a moron.

Agreed.

[Great-Kazoo]

What does it matter how people dress? Only actions matter.

It's one's appearance that makes a first impression. You want to get respect dress like you deserve it. Those adults standing there present to the locals & the world how the "citizens" of the community feel about the actions of the few. it shows not everyone who lives there embraces a certain look and lifestyle.

Forget protests or civil unrest regarding our dying freedom or government corruption or infringement and outright government violation of the constitution...the growing civil unrest is about...racism. Crazy.

At least one of those signs has the word "revolution" on it. Only liberals are allowed to use that word and not get berated by the media.

I can't understand why anybody would want to be a cop in one of these racially-charged communities, especially a white cop. Sad to say, but you know that if you're in that position, everything you do will be wrong. Too aggressive and they'll call you a racist brute. Not aggressive enough and they'll call you lazy and uncaring. Oh, and racist, of course.

What do most cops in this area make, $45,000 a year? Is it worth all that crap for that kind of pay? If I was a cop in these cities (Ferguson, Baltimore, etc) think I'd be tempted to tell the demonstrators and "activists" that "if you don't like the job we're doing, screw it. We'll quit and YOU can take the job."

I'm seriously waiting for the day when 200 cops walk into the office one day and hand in their resignations and say "sorry about the civil unrest but you know what - Idon't live here, so if the city's not going to back me up, then I'll just go back to my suburban home and YOU can deal with it. Good luck"

Then I'd apply for a job in a nice suburban community where people are glad to have the police around and let the inner city residents who hate the cops so much sink further into the cesspool of their own making.

The riots in Baltimore are not about one guy or even one case, over 100 people have died by the hands of police in Baltimore in the past 4 years. The problem is bigger than any news agency can handle so the public is being mislead and misinformed for what ever agenda they might have. Social reform has been a long time coming in old charm city and many other cities across America. I dont support the use of violence but at times in American history it has been the last resort to be heard by a people who are fed up.

[Bailey Guns]

Sorry. Reform in these black communities is one thing. But reform also starts at home. Frankly, there needs to be a mindset change among inner city blacks and that ain't gonna happen as long as liberals are in charge and perpetuate the victim mentality. I don't whitey is responsible for their lot in life in 2015.

And you know what? I no longer care about it. Burn your cities, community centers and local businesses. Hurt yourselves. Do nothing to improve your lot in life. Don't be parents to your children. Fuck you. I don't care anymore.
