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.

We were just talking about that.
Gets my bet, but ya never know. They’ll be faster the NG’s.
Mark Fuhrman just said a large part of that town was literally waiting for something like this, “laying in wait”.
I agree.
...... 'We've seen what has happened when other
jurisdictions have overreacted'
Absolutely. A LOT of cities are just waiting for something like this to happen.
CNN has a video somewhere.....we have it back thread from another site....it’s really very rewarding to watch her slap him up the side of the head...LOLOL....At least I found it so.
Heck the kid had a ski mask on and she knew who he was anyway! LOLOLOL
LOL...right...LOLOL
Heck...the Mayor probably would have been given an order to take him out!
Yep
I’m sure Dallas’ day is coming as well.
They’re using this as a testing ground for ‘the Mayors plan ,she devised, on how to handle this...she was part of a group who met to devise plans for just this event after Ferguson riots. So will see how this works....so far, Unlike Ferguson which was in a specific area.....she’s got cars being set on fire, looting and now a house fire too all over the city.
I believe all mothers have the inner ability to recognize their progeny!
A few of them know how to raise them. This good woman reminds me of a bear sow that will swat an unruly cub.
God Bless her and wish there were more doing what she did.
This is like Europe where the cops routinely back down.
Weird...

Agree....I really hope they feature her on the news.....it would be a good thing for these mothers to see....she boxed him up good and there’s not a thing wrong with how she handled him IMO.
But the citizens aren’t permitted to carry or have guns..
WHAT’S NEXT??
Will the Russian Ambassador show up to hand out cookies, and provide foreign policy advisors to fund and arm the thugs, while demanding the U.S. government stand down and allow peaceful political and power transition in America?
Tampons are expensive. If you’re implying all 3 at the same time, maybe you should not take comments out of context.
The Mayor first blamed the media for misrepresenting her comments, then blamed mystery outsiders. Tomorrow she’ll be blaming white people.
I guess planes full of traveling rioters have been flooding into Baltimore Airport the last two days for the big event.
