Smashed, looted and burned by the mob: Inside the destruction of Baltimore as shopkeepers [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 28, 2015 | Daniel Bates and Ben Ashford

The full extent of the damage done by the violence and rioting in Baltimore is graphically revealed today. Dozens of shops, businesses and gas stations were burned and ransacked across the city as the streets were turned into a 'war zone'. Shopkeepers told Daily Mail Online that they fled in terror as looters rampaged in as they were still inside - and stole everything. A family of four had to flee their apartment above the liquor store they owned when it was set ablaze underneath them. And a gas station owner said that he had lost $50,000 after his ATM was looted and his store ransacked. Rajneesh Nagpal, 39, was furious that he had called the police 50 times but nobody came to help him.

If you want effective leadership, never vote for a Democrat. Put an adult in charge.

It's not looting!

Decades ago in the 1960s the employees of the MSM and universities established that the citizens were simply retrieving the goods that they had already paid for -- owing to the exorbitant prices demanded by the evil store owners. This is just the old layaway method. And BTW, the demand for law and order is racist.

All of this was well established by liberals decades ago.

I am not ashamed to admit that it thrills me to see a few liberal employees of the MSM, etc. getting a good dose of reality.

He’d have been better off calling the crips or the bloods and making a deal with them.

I still don’t understand why these business owners didn’t SHOOT TO KILL LOOTERS coming in to their stores??

The legal system which will "give space" to the rioters will be quick to arrest and ruin anyone who takes your approach. The prosecutor and cops are an enemy just like the looters.

Mayor Ray Naygan refused to send in busses to help evacuate the people of New Orleans before hurricane Katrina.

Mayor Steffinay Blake refuses to send in the National Guard to help the overwhelmed Baltimore police force before the riots got worse.

Obama’s Katrina feasco.

Maryland is one of the last states that have May Issue concealed firearms licenses, which in practice means NO ISSUE.

These kind of events call for crew-served weapons.

Based on the fact that the mayor declared his shop part of a “free to destroy” zone, under protection of police from cars, etc., the mayor and city owe this man a new store. Hope he is successful in court.

From one of the picture captions:

Back to business: Nate & Tony's being repaired after a window was smashed. It escaped the worst of the damage because Tony Harrison (right) guarded it with two friends, a baseball bat, a stick and six-year-old South African mastiff Sascha

For some reason I am reminded of the line from The Godfather:

"Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright?"
