The dead are piling up from the Baltimogidsu violence.

And huige swaths of the city have become killing gournds:

A Major League Baseball game played before an empty stadium. If ever there was a metaphor for Preezy Urkel's America, that would be it.

'Course, I can understand why they had to resort to this drastic action. All the employees of the concession stands had a previous engagement. The riots.

BALTIMORONS.....................

I prefer “Baltimordor”.

OK, how widespread is the rioting? really?

I’ve noticed in prior riots elsewhere that while things look really bad, that’s mostly because reporters frame what there is to look as big & bad as possible. Ferguson? about 5 blocks. Baltimore? way less than prior major rioting. Numerous “giant” demonstrations in DC? low camera angles make 100 people look like 100,000.

For all the rhetoric, worth taking a moment to discern how big an issue it really is.

We had a green zone where all the worst violence took place in “The Mog”. Patrolled it all the time. There and “The Stadium” (an old soccer stadium) was where the majority of the firefights took place when I was there. So I guess the inner harbor is the green zone and Camden Yards is “The Stadium”. Throw in some technicals and it will be “The Mog”!!
