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.

Nagin got re-elected, this fool will too.

sorry about philly, i live here. and yes you need to not react to the socialists here, but we had the CON CON way back, derringer had a shop here, on front street, Hershey started here, Baldwin’s story and there is other incredible history all around. Stetson, etc. but i did not like downtown baltimore. fells point and water front was fine. climb into sub and old boats.

Obviously not in Philadelphia, Baltimore or New Orleans. Give a city democrat control for a few decades and it becomes a sewage pit.

Good call. Stay away from the garbage dumps of the world.

I think it is highly likely that the lawyers for the insurance companies are already preparing to deny claims based in part on the words of the Mayor.

[windsorknot]

You raised a good point: Baltimore did elect this doofus.

[moviefan8]

The mayor sorted of denied she said that a few minutes ago. She said her words were twisted.

i think there’s a bunch. there’s now a pub gov and the rural part of the state is excellent. It’s only yards up on the hilltop at annapolis that it really stinks. Navy yard is there and worth a trip.

[reasonisfaith]

That may be true, but if people are smart they’ll make an example of her.

"Do you actually think these morons, were bothered by some Baltimore rukus?"

I do.

[moviefan8]

Also the fires may not be related to the riot.

Yeah right Ms Hyphen Last Name mayor.

The Inner Harbor is not what it once was. There are a lot of aggressive pandhandlers there, and the cops can’t do anything about it. They have rights, you know. The rest of us don’t.

"The mayor sorted of denied she said that a few minutes ago. She said her words were twisted."

LOL! Was Marie Harf her spokestwit?

[kvanbrunt2]

pub gov will get blamed

[moviefan8]

She must have gone to the Harf school.

[kvanbrunt2]

Arson is terrorism

[JennysCool]

The Mayor will never live down that incredibly irresponsible edict.

She's one of those libs that, faced with such an uprising, thinks, "Oh, they're just letting off a little steam. They can't be that bad." Well, Ms. Mayor, they are that bad.

[kevao]

if people are smart they’ll make an example of her.

If the people were smart, they would have never elected that doofus.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Probably. Near certainty. I made that post basted with a helping of pessimistic sarcasm.

 

 

[alpo]

I wonder how many conventions were moved from Indianapolis to Baltimore. Oh, the irony...

S/ can’t do justice to this insanity.

[easternsky]

Welllll thinking they are not to smart.
