Md. rep: 'Baltimore can happen anywhere'
The Hill ^ | April 29, 2015 | David McCabe

Posted on 04/29/2015 7:00:31 AM PDT by C19fan

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), who represents part of Baltimore, said Wednesday that the anger that has been on display in the city this week could occur anywhere in the country.

"Baltimore can happen anywhere," he said while appearing on CNN's "New Day." 'You’ve got people look at us right now saying, “That will never happen in my community.' But, yes it will. But you’ve got to have people that listen, and you’ve got to begin to act on it."

But if capital investment leaves Baltimore, then Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, etc. will bitch about the lack of investment in our cities. They will complain that cities are being left behind, yadda, yadda, yadda.

No matter what, the liberal view is that racism and discrminiation are the reasons for problems in our cities. Not bad personal behavior, not the toxic baby mama culture, not the toxic gang culture, not the toxic ghetto culture which poisons life in so many cities. These issues are never discussed.

I doubt it will happen here. Our state is much more Second Amendment Friendly.

Ummm... NO.

It requires two things.

It requires a special culture, a large percentage of indolent existing on welfare, having no education, no skills, a monumental sense of entitlement, and a primitive culture existing in a predator-prey environment.

The second requirement is an enabling system run by "elected" criminals from the same culture, immune from the laws that apply to the working taxpayers, with an endless checkbook throwing money at the growing problem.

Destroy the town?
No problem. "We'll rebuild! With Grants and "loans" which can never, and will never, be repaid. Free money.

Rinse and repeat.

More a certain demographic. Blacks are far more likely to riot than any other demographic.

Blacks are more likely to riot... murder... rape... rob... sell drugs... engage in prostitution... than any other demographic.

"Mormons"

So that's who those people were when I visited SLC. I thought that "please sir" and "thank you sir' I heard from them sounded very threatening. ( snicker)

There is a reason Democratic dominated places like SF, Seattle and Portland have no risk of going Ferguson.

There sure is.
A temporary (historically) stable system with a tax base consisting of very large businesses generating more revenue than can possibly be used wisely, and passing the "costs" on to the country at large. Invisible permanent "wealth."

Watch these government enablers move out of town and the system will collapse. As long as ignorant criminal dysfunctional classes are in charge, it's just a matter of when.

But there is discrimination, but in my view most of it is based on the behavior of our Black Community as a whole. The days of it being based solely on skin color are largely gone. Nothing is going to change until Blacks accept responsibility for their actions and the start policing their own. An by that I mean ratting out the trash in their own society and seeing to it that they are prosecuted and removed. Bing poor doesn’t meat being criminal.

Yes, just as soon as enough angry Muslim immigrants populate your neighborhood.

cummings is such a complete moonbat asshat. He should have added “...any neighborhood where ferals are over a few %”. Also, “...where LIBs have been in charge for a while”.

I carried a Thompson in the Nam for awhile. Real boat anchor but, damn, could it chop brush.

Then I found an M-3. A little lighter but it still chopped through brush like a hot knife through butter.

Went back to an M14 though as it worked just as well in heavy cover but could reach out and touch people a submachine gun couldn’t.

I should add young, white leftists are bad actors as well as far as rioting.

There are enough well armed rednecks like myself in our little corner of east Texas that the probablity of thuggery riots is pretty slim. Heck I got some new toys to try out if they would like to bust into my house to loot.

Oh how I’d love to tie that asswipe to a barn door, bare his back and give him the your-name-is-Toby treatment.
