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

If I ever thought I wanted to visit Baltimore that city is definitely off the list. It is now on the same list with Philadelphia, New Orleans and New Orleans. Actually, Baltimore has been on that list for years.

Why would anyone want to vacation in Baltimore, Detroit, or other war zones that have been destroyed by collectivism?

The Mayor will never live down that incredibly irresponsible edict. Now the good citizens of Baltimore are paying for it.

I lived 19 years in Northern Virginia, loved to visit Baltimore, dated a number of women over the years in Baltimore, and what is happening there is absolutely sickening. That the mayor, that any mayor would give license to this, that the police would stand by, that the public and city is left defenseless is unbelievable. Obama’s America, sad and pathetic.

I agree. Both New Orleans and New Orleans are off my list as well. ;)

Baltimore’s Inner Harbor area is quite nice. And the Baltimore Aquarium is incredible. That said, I won’t be rushing back any time soon, if ever again.

when its time for new elections for Baltimore the mayor gave her challenger a gift with the quote “space to destroy”!

“The Mayor will never live down that incredibly irresponsible edict. Now the good citizens of Baltimore are paying for it.”

This is only just the beginning.

The Civil Class Action Suit is going to be EPIC.

Just consider the fact that 36,000 people were temporarily penned up at the baseball stadium. And imagine what they thought when they learned that when the riots broke out that the Mayor wasn’t concerned for their safety. She magnanimously directed that the police give the rioters space to destroy. And as you all have posted, why in the HELL would ANYONE want to visit Baltimore EVER?

Republicans will be blamed for it.

Republicans will not even respond to the charge in fear of being called racists.

How much longer are they stuck with her? Can she be recalled or impeached?

To get a firearm permit in Maryland, you need to demonstrate that there is a credible threat to your life. I think every Baltimore citizen now has a case.

What are the chances that insurance companies will use that nit-wit mayor’s words and actions to curtail, delay, or deny any claims made by the damaged businesses? Or at least sue Baltimore for damages paid out for allowing the rioting to get out of hand?
