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.

The police are not allowed to do anything
It’s very important to remember what’s happening in Wisconsin: the police happily obliging the tyrant prosecutor. I don’t like what’s happening, I just keep remembering that cops are not the friends of liberty.
Yutes just broke out window on cop car, when officer stepped out and drew weapon the cowards ran. Pussies.
The cops are going to stay home after tonight if they don’t get support from their “Mayor”.
Wow ! Didn’t realize that Mr Gray was a frequent flyer.

Another officer down call.
Growing up in South Baltimore until I graduated from HS, my father owed guns and my older brother and his wife who lived up the street from us, owned guns. We knew a lot of folks who were hunters back then.
My husband and I living in a house in the far NE corner of Baltimore City during the late 80’s through the early 2000’s had several guns as I know of, so did several of our neighbors.
While, yes the liberals far outnumber conservatives in MD, I hate to see this happening. I have many fond memories of Baltimore and still have many friends living and working there.
I knew a lot of good people when I lived in MD and in Baltimore City. Heck, you might not believe it but I also knew a handful of Black Republican Conservatives – talk about being a true minority group.
“And I’m not sure that, again it being MD, the old “better to be judged by 12 than carried by six” rule applies.”
Maryland is a Freak State, for sure, but you can use deadly force there to protect property, unlike my present state of Virginia.
They’re all around the Police car, prime Target, Drop the 500lb asap!
They got one guy from that huge group
Caught that one thug in the white hoodie who was ransacking the police car.
Amazing that krap like that is tolerated anyplace, anywhere. Pointing a raised hand/brick/weapon of any sort in my direction will get you dead. Now. We’ll do the paperwork later. It’s the Code of the West——where bad manners and cheap bullshik are just not tolerated.-—Semper Fi
Cops are totally unprepared for this. Out of riot gear.
23 count bump
These are teenagers causing the problems. Hey America, this is Democrat utopian bliss!
In a 79-second clip filmed by a female Russia Today reporter, one young man (“Rest in peace to my man, Freddie G”) is joined by two other young men (“F*** the police”), who are joined by several other young men, each of whom, shouting, displays his middle finger to the camera. It takes just seconds for a dozen young men, likely more, to gather; they push against the camera, yell, and flash their own middle fingers. Then, suddenly, the camera drops, the men scatter, and the RT camerawoman gives chase to a young man, shouting, frantically, “Give it back!” He has stolen her handbag.
