A state of
emergency has been declared in Baltimore as the city transforms into 'an
absolute war zone' following the funeral of Freddie Gray.
More
than 1,000 Maryland police officers, the Maryland National Guard, and
5,000 officers from neighboring states are arriving in the city and the
president has been briefed on the situation as violence continues to
escalate.
But
even as the governor of Maryland pledged the highest level of support
available, police continued to be pelted with rocks well into the night.
Fifteen
police officers have been injured, many with broken bones, and at least
one appeared ‘unresponsive’. Two of the 15 are in hospital in a serious
condition.
As
the sun set, flames erupted from a new $16 million nursing home built
by a baptist church on the more affluent east side of Baltimore, which
has now been burned to rubble. it was due to open in November this year
after eight years of construction. Just two blocks away, a housing
development was also ablaze. Officials warned the two fires could be a
distraction to pull law enforcement away from other locations.
Rioters
are looting gun stores, ripping off the doors and passing weapons to
people on the streets. Others have stormed check cashing stores, liquor
stores and supermarkets. Buildings, including a CVS pharmacy, are on
fire.
Rioters have slashed fire fighters' hoses as they try to battle
the flames.

The mayor did say to let the rioters have their way.... Burn baby, burn! (I wonder if she gets her marching orders from barry??)

DeleteBodymore goes full "Wire". Freddie who? I don'ts know 'n' I don'ts care. All I knows is I done gots me some free shit! These peoe could not care less about they fate of Freddie Gray. His tragedy is just a convenient excuse for lawless behavior. This is not a revolution this is another of a series of manufactured events that will provide the excuse for the federal Gestapo to crack down one everyone and everything. The recent renewed clamoring for the secure limitation of cash transactions will be used as a excuse by the government (read banks) to control "criminal" activity.
ReplyDeleteThoroughly agree.
DeleteIn July, 1957, at the Army Chemical Center, I lay on a too short Army cot in a hot barracks and heard on my buddy Curtis's radio "It's midnight in downtown Baltimore and the temperature is 100 degrees. Big, black Curtis,, from Roanoke, said 'aren't you glad we're not there?'". I said "I sure am.". It's 12:03 a.m. now in downtown Baltimore and I'm watching it burn and glad I'm not there.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've said it many times before, I shall again: Rioters used to be shot on sight.
DeleteAny sumbitch sorry enough to cut a firemans hose outta be hung with it.
ReplyDeleteReally.
DeleteAnd....Just wait till summer gets here, when as the temperature gets higher, the tempers get shorter. Just one look at the above photo, tells me two things for certain; they all have a bad attitude and they don't like you (whitey) at all.
ReplyDeleteHope are right with your Creator, got guns (and you do NOT have enough ammo) and a plan.
Too bad one could not just build a wall to keep all them in there, and let them live in the ruins of their own making. Not one penny of tax payer money should be used to rebuild what they have destoyed.
