National Guard Sent in to Baltimore Riots - State of Emergency Declared

We are this close to Obie and the NEW AG Lynch (confirmed by the GOP) nationalizing ALL LOCAL POLICE.
Hope the NG know this town, because this is coordinated urban gorilla rioting...Takes cops a hour to get set up in a hot zone, then gorilla rioters suddenly show up many blocks away.
That was something I was thinking also. If we are talking about the safety of children, then the curfew for anyone under 18 should be 6 pm to 6 am. They belong in school, and if they don’t want to go to school, they should be put on public projects, fed and clothed, without pay.

I thought the Baltimore police commissioner Anthony Batts was absolutely brilliant. Straight answers and well spoken without a Teleprompter. Great in a crisis.
Can we The American people trade him for Obama? They only have to move 30 miles. He should be President and Obama should be a mayor. I’ll even throw in two first round draft picks and a community organizer to be named later. :-)
Baltimore “Purge”: National Guard Arrives As City Burns, Rioters Warn “Nice Night For A Revolution” - Live Webcast

Rome is burning and Babble Lips play his role as liar in chief!
Rather, Mr. Obama has set race relations back “50 years”.
Then came the liberal Great Society legislation.
Skip forward to 30 years later in 1994. 56% of black women have never married and only 25% married living with husbands. Only 33% of black children lived with their parents in 1994. At the same time, the illegitimacy rate stood at 70%, and the high school graduation rate had dropped precipitously to around 50%.
Every single one of these metrics is likely even more dismal now, with the exception of high school graduation rates, but how much of that is due to improvements and how much is due to a watering down of standards is debatable.
There are people who point to the legacy of slavery as the root cause of this. But, as Thomas Sowell points out, why did this "legacy of slavery" not manifest itself until nearly 100 years AFTER slavery had been abolished? He is correct, in my opinion, to point to the destructive liberal policies of the "Great Society" as the real cause of this. And it is compounded by people of all colors and political persuasions who want to make the abhorrent behavior seen in Ferguson and Baltimore a strict result of ongoing racism rather than blaming it on the real problem: Liberal policies, the destruction of the black family unit, and the corrosive elements of black culture.
The putrid fruit of “civil rights” and the welfare state, right there.
Let them wallow in it for years. I might shed one tear.... naaaaaaahhhhh.
Anybody who was injured, or whose business or property was destroyed, needs to be talking to a lawyer ASAP. Sue the b****.
"......Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam was credited by protesters on the ground in Baltimore with establishing a gang truce in the city to unify black Baltimore against the police. The NOI and its well-dressed Fruit of Islam were on the ground in Ferguson, as well, in a leadership role......"
Unprecedented: Members of rival gangs Crips and Blood united with Nation Of Islam in the streets in an apparent show of solidarity
Real statement went more like "You go, sistah!"
It’s just liberal, Obama-voting animals, in a liberal Obama-voting city, in a liberal Obama-voting state.
I don’t give a damn about any of it.
That’s Obama’s America. Obama’s fag-marriage America. Not mine.
And Obama’s America can just go burn to the ground as far as I care.
