Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is temporarily moving his office from the state capital, Annapolis, to Baltimore on Tuesday after rioting and fires broke out in the city.

Hogan spokeswoman Erin Montgomery says the governor will visit sites around the city Tuesday morning and plans to work out of state offices in downtown Baltimore with Cabinet members and senior staffers.

Mayorette: We’d like to give them their space to riot, loot and burn. It’s free speech!

There is also that other amendment that allows people to defend themselves when the police and government officials refuse to!

I am surprised that the whole mess hasn’t erupted into a civil war. All it takes is one person defending themselves from the thugs, because the police are told to leave, and bullets will be flying. In the several recent riots, I am very surprised that the mess hasn’t exploded into all civil war. I am thankful too.

I don’t get it — the people in those communities complain about lack of jobs and businesses and then are either in denial or too stupid to realize that businesses are afraid to operate in those communities because they might get looted and burned to the ground.

Duh!!!!

They know they will be vilified and likely go to jail for defending themselves from the thugs/animals. It's a topsy-turvy world where Christ's prediction that good will be called evil and evil called good is coming true at an ever increasing pace.

Yup. Complete anarchy. And I like your reference to Christ.

The term “you reap what you sow” applies here. Decades of social engineering (all by Democrats) have destroyed the poor communities and the souls of the individuals who live there. They have created the “Obama-phone” dependency — I'll give you free stuff, if you vote for me.

People still don't realize that the destruction of the family is the root of the problem. Not jobs, not racism. It is not ironic that they ignore this problem. Why? Because when the family fails and is destroyed, the government can step in and take over and that is the real agenda here — government control.

I saw it first hand in the '50s and '60s. In the '50s, the Black family was a strong and stable unit and they were well on their way to full integration. I grew up in a neighborhood that became predominantly Black and the area actually improved with their coming. Then came Johnson's "Great Society" and the race riots of the '60s - downhill ever since.

Well, in dear, old Baltimore, law-abiding citizens are denied 2A rights; only the thugs are armed.

Oh, stop! Logical thinking is just too, too difficult to master. The Rats want them to stay illogical and ill-informed.

Easier to control and manipulate that way. Guaranteed that they will always vote Democrat.

The true racism is the culture that criticizes the successful black entrepreneur for being too white. Apparently, the “real” black person who is “true to his or her roots” has to be dirt poor, illiterate, with fatherless children, dependent on the system that consistently fails them, and a violent “gangsta.”

The dirty secret is that blacks are more oppressed by their own culture than any systematic racism.
