For that crowd, Barry Manilow would do the job. LOL
I’m afraid you are right. The General in charge of the NG is black, as is the mayor, police chief, 66% of the city council, etc... I’m pretty sure the standing order will be to use restraint. Cause we all know how protesters respect restraint.
“Just play some classical music, that will drive them away.”
This is true! Or maybe reading a great moral classic like the Bible. No disrespect to the Word of God intended.
It is possible. I am listening to the police scanner link a kind Freeper
posted above.
I heard that it will be up to the local commanders if they will make arrests
after curfew begins. It will be case by case.

Apparently Freddie Gray had spinal surgery a week before the incident.]

Nah. Maybe his luck will change, and his spine will be severed 100%, instead of just 80. Could be his lucky night!
Bkmrk.

Oh no...we in Texas have a greater weapon. Country Western music.
Blair Patsy Cline, Dwight Yokum, Hank Sr., Loretta Lynn, George Jones. Blair it LOUD.
They all flee holding their heads, screaming in pain.

My God, what kind of sadist do you think I am?
Here’s the correct cause:
WASHINGTON — In response to Twitter chatter concerning Saturday’s protests in Baltimore, which shut down traffic in some areas of the city and forced some fans to stay inside Oriole Park for their safety even after the baseball game was over, Orioles Executive Vice President John Angelos, son of majority owner Peter Angelos, had this to say on his Twitter account:
(Tweets have been edited together for cohesion)
“Brett, speaking only for myself, I agree with your point that the principle of peaceful, non-violent protest and the observance of the rule of law is of utmost importance in any society. MLK, Gandhi, Mandela, and all great opposition leaders throughout history have always preached this precept. Further, it is critical that in any democracy investigation must be completed and due process must be honored before any government or police members are judged responsible.
That said, my greater source of personal concern, outrage and sympathy beyond this particular case is focused neither upon one night’s property damage nor upon the acts, but is focused rather upon the past four-decade period during which an American political elite have shipped middle class and working class jobs away from Baltimore and cities and towns around the U.S. to third-world dictatorships like China and others, plunged tens of millions of good hard-working Americans into economic devastation, and then followed that action around the nation by diminishing every American’s civil rights protections in order to control an unfairly impoverished population living under an ever-declining standard of living and suffering at the butt end of an ever-more militarized and aggressive surveillance state.
The innocent working families of all backgrounds whose lives and dreams have been cut short by excessive violence, surveillance, and other abuses of the Bill of Rights by government pay the true price, an ultimate price, and one that far exceeds the importance of any kids’ game played tonight, or ever, at Camden Yards.
We need to keep in mind people are suffering and dying around the U.S., and while we are thankful no one was injured at Camden Yards, there is a far bigger picture for poor Americans in Baltimore and everywhere who don’t have jobs and are losing economic civil and legal rights, and this makes inconvenience at a ball game irrelevant in light of the needless suffering government is inflicting upon ordinary Americans.”
thats right
