Baltimore scrambles to save tourism, conventions (Uh, cancel that directive to let them destroy)

With the violence sweeping Baltimore threatening to scare away tourists and the city's huge convention industry, officials are working overtime to build in new security around the downtown convention center and promising to keep people safe.

Oh yes...

RE:”I just don’t get the mentality of sh**ting in your own bed...ultimately YOU end up suffering.”

I heard one of the MSNBC show hosts saying that some residents are now complaining about how now that the Rite Aid is gone they have no drug store to go to for medicine, that few stores where willing to set up shop there even before this.

A black coworker (college educated) tried to justify the riots to me blaming it on lack of (our $$$) investment in those areas and police murders of blacks without prosecution .

When I told he that they were just hurting themselves he just got madder at me.

The second leg of the Triple Crown (Thoroughbred horse racing’s biggest event) -Preakness Stakes takes place at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore- bet they are already having cancellations. Too bad. It’s normally a big money maker for the city.

[Pajamajan]

Add- the Preakness takes place in two and a half weeks.

Whatever set off the initial rioting becomes irrelevant once the mob mentality gets going.

These swine who are looting and destroying property for fun were just waiting for an opportunity, ANY opportunity, to do that. Anyone that doesn’t realize that is a f**kwit. Anyone that doesn’t realize the people hurt most all by this are the people that live in those neighborhoods is a DAMN f**kwit and waste of a place at college.

>> Good Morning, Baltimore! <<

Heh. When I heard about the riots, I also thought of the opening song of Hairspray first.

Some guy even created a mashup video on youtube:

That’s priceless!

I’ve never seen the movie, Travolta in drag.....ugh.

I did see some movie where Patrick Swayze and goddamn Wesley Snipes(!) were in drag.

Travolta is a queerbo, but I can’t fathom why a normal guy would do that.

Rudy Guiliani disqualified himself from the Presidency by doing it for an SNL skit, it’s beneath the dignity of a big city Mayor, let alone a President.

Proving the moral and ethical bankruptcy of most American blacks, educated or not.

Obama's Dream From His Father is coming true, one American city at a time. Cavitation by Federal Inspired Feralism.

” Obama’s Dream From His Father is coming true, one American city at a time. “

And Obama is so amazingly dumb(I PREFER PSYCHOTIC), he can’t see that his father was evil in every possible method of measurement.

[TADSLOS]

Obama was groomed to idolize everything his commie daddy, Frank Marshall Davis, believed in.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yep

Official attendance at today’s Orioles game: 2.

I wonder who were the two people that they let in.

[Stentor]

The bimbo Mayor should have thought of this before she told the police to let give Holder's people space to destroy.

I've seen hundreds of those come and go. The stupid. It burns.

[GOPsterinMA]

Good question Goldwater. Maybe a police officer & fighter - maybe a legal requirement? That’s my guess.

Official time was 2:02. Now that was a positive development.

[GOPsterinMA]

fire fighter

Stupid autocorrect...

[AuH2ORepublican]

Of course game time was only 2:02; no Crabcake Races (or whatever they have there), shooting T-shirts into the stands, loud music blaring ... the game itself doesn’t take that long to play.

[GOPsterinMA]

Exactly!!! That’s the way it should be.
