The University of Maryland, Baltimore and numerous downtown businesses closed early Monday, citing concerns about potentially violent activity in the area.

Lexington Market, a city courthouse and businesses including T. Rowe Price and Venable LLP said police warned them of large gatherings and protests downtown.

According to widely circulated flier, a high school "purge" was to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin and ending downtown.

Such memes have been known to circulate regularly, but today's has led to bolstered police presence around the city.

The flier includes an image of protesters smashing the windshield of a police car this past weekend after a march spurred by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died earlier this month after being arrested by city police, turned violent and destructive.

A post on the University of Maryland Baltimore's website said that the closure was prompted by a recommendation from city police. The campus will also stop shuttle service.

In the good old days of, say, 7 years ago this flyer would have warranted a police investigation on incitement of violence.

Looking at that arrest record I feel like the protests should be shouting. “WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE THUGS!!”

Could also be interpreted to mean “killing cops and any other honkeys we come across”

I can hear the BS now: “Tempers are at a fever pitch. Best to just let it burn out over time.”

Chronology is racist, sexist and likely homophobic.

Looks like Trayjaun and Jeriwami need a Kent State history lesson.

Yes...I agree fully....this really could have easily been brought under control earlier.....cut the police loose and just get the job done...these kids have no fear of consequences...at some point someone needs to show them otherwise.
