With the violence sweeping Baltimore threatening to scare away tourists and the city's huge convention industry, officials are working overtime to build in new security around the downtown convention center and promising to keep people safe.

Thank you. I will try to follow if possible future threads which might deal with how the insurance companies respond.

I wonder how many cops are re-thinking possible positions as Walmart greeters?...

she should have given out her address and that of other members of her extended family and circle of friends

Just as liberals only want to spend Other People's Money, so do they only want to give Other People's Spaces up to the destoyers.

In a just world, this mayor would be in leg irons and living in a very tiny cell.

I’ve been to the inner harbor and aquarium. Great views but once you get out of that area, it goes downhill fast.

There’s a common thread among the top 10 riots.

"They aren't going to just absorb the losses, especially considering that it's a lot of money. Given the unwise statements of the mayor and the reluctant response of the police, they'll have an excellent case."

Now I'm not a lawyer (despite having spent many comfortable nights in Holiday Inns.) But I believe that what has happened here is that the Mayor has caused the City of Baltimore to become a tortfeasor.

Although the city itself may not have committed a criminal act, willing negligence to prevent such acts can (and certainly should) make them civilly liable.

I have no idea what kind of financial shape the city was in before this, but I think it's pretty certain that it will be completely insolvent now.

I’m sure we’ll soon see a crackdown on domestic terrorism — blamed on the Tea Party.

Wasn’t that a Red Sox game? If so they normally get a huge about of RS fans that come down. I’ve see the inner harbor look like Lansdown St or Kenmore Square in the afternoon before a night game. It is jokingly refers to as Fenway South for a reason.

They so badly want to be Detroit.

According to city-data.com, Baltimore is 63% black, 28% white. Detroit is 81-8.

This ought to do it.

Hmmm, perhaps. Although, it may have been the Black Sox. Who, the heck knows? I think there may have been a fix, in this whole crazy mess. Yeah, there was definitely, some wrong players. Let’s see how the season plays out. It’s gonna be a long one. No doubt

Perhaps the Ravens Modell Browns might have some regrets about doing that to Cleveland.

RE:”With the violence sweeping Baltimore threatening to scare away tourists and the city's huge convention industry, officials are working overtime to build in new security around the downtown convention center and promising to keep people safe.”

Avoid cities where the mayors condone rioting and looting.

Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake : “ I made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech.
It's a very delicate balancing act. Because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy, space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate”

Now the good citizens of Baltimore are paying for it.

Hopefully, "good citizens" will someday figure out that there is a lot of "paying for it" that comes with voting for liberal/Democrat office holders.

That was an absolute marketing disaster fo Mayflower. It was about 30 years before I saw another Mayflower truck within a 100 mile radius of Baltimore.

First, insurance is new world order, so they’re fine with nwo agendas (you’ll notice they happily provide health insurance to sodomites, which is a high risk/cost, without aaaaannnnyy squeak of a sound about maybe reducing that risk by decreasing risky behavior - it’s just not said). The same British financial elites who engaged in opium trade, slave trade, always sought how to get the sheeple to work in their factories and mills cheaper, ran the country of India as their business, who use immorality essentially as a “stock in trade”, etc.... they’re also the folks who built the insurance industry.

Second, the way the industry is structured, it can deal with losses fine, and, if not, new world order will just order government (oh, I mean ask) government for a bailout. New world order’s current “President of the US”, whoever that is, will happily give them all the taxpayer backing they need.

The people at the top of nwo have always been very smart, completely ruthless, and “just businessmen”, nothing to see here...
