Thirty-six thousand baseball fans penned in Baltimore stadium as Freddie Gray protests turn violent
The Daily Mail ^ | Apr 25th 2015

Protests to demand answers in the case of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man died in Baltimore Police custody last week, descended into chaos on Saturday night.

After a few hours of peaceful demonstrations, scores of rowdy protesters crowded outside Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox in ten innings.

Spectators at the game, with a reported attendance of 36,757, were told that they could not leave the baseball stadium until cleared to do so by police, who allowed them to exit shortly after 10pm when the game ended.

“Baltimore is a toilet. New Orleans of the Atlantic. Run by black libs in every position. Utterly supported by government jobs.”

So what does that make the rest of Maryland, a sewer? Just asking.

Her Batty-ness is from Baltimore

what a coinkydink

And a fine representation of the Democrat Party in the late 20th --earlier 21st centuries she is.

Waves her hands around when she talks as if to be shooing invisible bats...

No matter how hard she tries
the bats are still present.

I live in southern California, so I am very familiar with not being able to get around.

My issue is, there is no constitutional right to disrupt the constitutional rights of others. The police allow these anti American criminals to block streets, and freeways, and to intimidate the general public. The leniency devolves into criminal destruction of private property, and a threat to the safety of people that have no responsibility for what they are protesting against.

If these people want to peaceably assemble to protest, more power to them. The minute they begin to deny the rights of others, the police should act decisively.

Maryland is like Missouri. An otherwise normal state dragged into the drain by an enormous urban liberal population.

These riots have nothing to do with any real grievance. That is just an excuse to loot and burn. This is not the first time the Mau Mau have burned down Baltimore. This crap has been going on since the sixties, or even before that time.

The reason the authorities don’t stop it is because they are afraid of the mobs. They appease them with welfare benefits and stand back when they run wild. The US is becoming a lawless place where the cops are constantly under threat.

Plus, you have the “effluent” from DC. We’re still pi$$ed off that you sent us Nancy D’Allesandro though.

Some of the things there are over the top, but the gist of it is true. US cities are being destroyed.

Yes. And to make matters worse in each occurrence, after each large crowd of protesters come the potential troublemakers getting high and drunk. A subgroup of those partiers—some of the few local criminals—will usually start the vandalism.

Just as in Ferguson, these rioters(not the peaceful protesters) were brought in and pumped by the Communist Party, USA. Had LE been able to arrest any of them, they would have found membership cards to the CPUSA in their belongings.

Chicago politics, Obama, Hillary, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Trans-Pacific Treaty.....all Communist in belief systems. Just go on-line and look at all the links.

The illegals coming across our southern border are all nice young Communists and the Communist party has publicly stated they will push and support the Democratic Party agenda in order to further their own socialist aims. These illegals are all Obama’s Comrades.

They are fomenting violence in our country and need to be stopped. I know I am old, but does anyone remember “Better dead than red?” All of the people involved in this entire controversy with Hillary have links to CPUSA...as well as Russia now supplying Iran with our uranium thanks to Hillary and Obama.

Our LE need to get tougher with them. Does anyone besides me wonder why the Gov of Missouri did not activate the National Guard even though they were already in St. Louis and on alert; he let Ferguson burn instead. I have to call into question his political loyalties also.

FYI: Obama joined the New Communist Party USA in Chicago in 2007 and asked for their endorsement of his candidacy.

I think 36,000 people should refuse to ever attend another game at that stadium until the heads responsible roll. Deny the city revenue.

36,000 would have stopped the protest dead in its tracks if they were let loose

Remove the police from between them and the outcome might surprise you.

You can push a man only so far and he will defend himself. Pushing a majority of people is never wise.

Freddie Gray was a black man who died in police custody recently. Case is still under investigation, but it is looking like the police may have been at fault.
