Statement From Governor Larry Hogan On Violence In Baltimore City
Office of Governor Larry Hogan ^ | April 27, 2015 | Governor Larry Hogan

Posted on 04/27/2015 3:35:01 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

Governor Larry Hogan is closely monitoring the situation in Baltimore City and has been in contact with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake office to provide the city with whatever resources are required. The Maryland State Police have been dispatched in a supporting role on the ground, as well as other resources and equipment from various state agencies.

“Today’s looting and acts of violence in Baltimore will not be tolerated. In response, I have put the Maryland National Guard on alert so they can be in position to deploy rapidly as needed. I strongly condemn the actions of the offenders who are engaged in direct attacks against innocent civilians, businesses and law enforcement officers. There is a significant difference between protesting and violence and those committing these acts will be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law.

“My thoughts and prayers go out to the men and women in uniform who are actively working to stem this violence and several who been injured in the line of duty. These malicious attacks against law enforcement and local communities only betray the cause of peaceful citizens seeking answers and justice following the death of Freddie Gray.”

Apparently in Maryland the governor cannot legally deploy the National Guard into a city unless the mayor formally requests it.

That ain't going to happen, and so Baltimore's going to burn tonight.

So the governor says it “won’t be tolerated” while the mayor says to give the demonstrators room to destroy.

Yep she’s a charming Negress.

What’s the black activist liberal excuse in Baltimore? They have a black mayor and numerous black city council and black.police officers. So they can’t claim racism here. So what will the excuse be???

As I have posted before, Charles Manson must be dancing a jig. Under our first Black pResident, who was elected by well-meaning whites to end the ‘race problem in America’, the race war that Manson was hoping to ignite is finally coming to fruition. The Democrats must be so proud.

Local DC area station has been covering this non-stop for hours; a CVS is burning, other stores broken into, cars being set afire; O’s game postponed:

The NC militia is watching this interest. If this is attempted in Raleigh, the cops will be out there to protect the mob. If the cops abandon the citizens, we the militia will take care of business and protect our neighbors.

“... Baltimore’s going to burn tonight.”

But who’ll notice? You understand that’s not much of a loss? Sorry, but with rare exception, the city is the total pits. Disgusting place, already with mile after mile of burned out properties from years ago. Maybe ultimately these ferals are doing the city a favor.

The Baltimore Mayor’s office just announced that they will be providing rocks, bricks and bottles for the underprivileged “protestors”. You know, in the name of equality and all. It is not fair that some “protestors” have projectiles and others go without.

For God's sake - WTH? Needs the mayor's permission? Gimme a break...who is to stop the Gov from ordering the NG into Baltimore? Like the mayor would stand out there and STOP the National Guard from protecting her city?

Good God - the inmates are running the asylum.
