Baltimore Mayor Tries to Address City's Violence by Telling Businesses When to Close

This month, the city has seen at least 29 murders as the violence surged yet again. This led Mayor Catherine E. Pugh to take to the streets to visit some local businesses. One of the exchanges recorded by the Baltimore Sun was a little concerning, though.

You see, Pugh stood inside of an area convenience store and asked what time the store closed. When the owner responded that they closed at 11:30, that wasn't good enough for Pugh.

"Isn’t that late?" the mayor reportedly responded. "That’s a little late. It keeps the crowds around here. Nine o’clock is nice. We need you-all to close at 9 o’clock at night."

But another business owner indicates that Pugh's walk through the streets of Baltimore didn't give her the full picture.

William Boston owns Will B Better Bodies gym in that same area--I can only assume he's supposed to close at 9:00 as well--and he said that if the mayor hadn't had a police escort she would have seen a different scene.

"You’d see everything going on," Boston told the Sun. "It’s an open-air drug market." ........

Yet another LIB LOSER mayor who presides over LIB lunacy. Hahaha .

The black community in Balt is rigidly divided by class. The uptown blacks, represented by the Mayor, sip their tea in China cups in private clubs overlooking the port.
