Student 'Purge' Threat Shuts Down Baltimore Businesses, Schools
The Baltimore Sun ^ | Monday, April 27, 2015 | Erica L. Green

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.

Why was this piece of trash walking around? Why was he not in prison?

He is not in prision because dont you know there is a disproportionate amount of black,,,,

Yeah because they are causing the crime!

The insinuation is that they are in prison because of racism and not because of their choices.

That photo is disturbing evidence that even the black officers are getting involved. Two black cops holding the white guy him while the other is getting ready to beat him again with his baton! /s

I wonder what those Black Feral criminals would do if Citizens formed up to protect
their homes, business' and cars, then went after them with the same rocks?

The police aren't doing a damn thing.

Maybe out in the exurbs and rural areas.

But this’ll never make it past the inner suburbs, if even that far (and if the situation really explodes, which I don’t think it will)

And I’m not sure that, again it being MD, the old “better to be judged by 12 than carried by six” rule applies.

Anarchists. Political operatives who see violence, lawlessness and looting as opportunity.

And all their useful idiots in the media.

The new caster said “it’s hard to tell the ages of the demonstrators.” Well, it’s easy to tell their skin color and culture.

Listening to the Baltimore police scanner is a real SHTF education right now.

Try to keep up. I thot Baltimore should have been burned down, leveled , and re-built in 1961 when I got a grand tour of the place compliments of the Marine Corps. It’s never been a shining jewel of anything except maybe krooked politicians. It’s been one of those socialist sinkholes where other people’s money just disappears. Picture some far future archaelogist digging that place up, laughing his ass off, and covering it back up?

The comments by the mayor the other day did have me thinking of the movie the Purge. Unfortunately in the real world the ferals won’t restrain their violence to wait for one day to unleash it.

Quick, Someone give me a count of how many white people you see in the rioting?

Watching the live feed, I thought I had turned on the O.W.N. channel.
