Baltimore mayor under fire over ‘destroy’ remarks, response to riots
Fox News ^ | 4/28/15 | Fox News

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was under intense pressure Tuesday morning to defend her response to the violence that has ripped apart her city following the funeral of Freddie Gray, a young black man who died after being in police custody -- particularly Rawling-Blake's remarks in which she suggested those who "wished to destroy" need their space.

With more than a dozen officers injured in clashes with rioters and looters, some -- including Maryland's governor -- are questioning whether Rawlings-Blake should have acted sooner and taken a tougher tone to prevent the demonstrations from getting out of control.

Just received this from a friend in town. If true, more to come. I don't know today is the "tomorrow" referenced. We'll see in 3 hours.

LOL! Yup. She did get a little uppity last night over that when some reporter asked her about it. Apparently the media twisted her words. Could she just admit she “mis-spoke”? Are you kidding? She’s a libdem and they NEVER apologize unless it’s worded to make YOU look like the idiot. Guess it’s all in the nuance. Any word from spokesmodel harf-wit yet?

Only fortunately, the governor is not a clone of the inept Kathleen Blanco.

obviously if you have heard her speak she’s just a “tad” muddled.

I would like to think she’s trying to look serious but with the resting bitch face that speaks of perpetual dissatisfcation with the entire word it makes one wonder if SHE is on some kind of medication because that’s how she looks and speaks/acts.

She has no energy to her words.

SHe should be impeached.

I think it was a Freudian slip. She thinks it, but should know better than to say it. Probably didn’t even realize she said it.

People make dumb mistakes, but she or her staff should have clarified / taken it back immediately, not try to walk it back 24 hours later (after bunkering down somewhere)

Her words were clear and could not have been twisted or taken out of context...

Yes they could..Im open to she may of misspoke... because i can take what she said two way

What she said to summarize..”I gave them space to peaceful protest as is their right.”...

...ok I have no problem with that...

And “I gave them space to destroy”..

ok did she mean that was her intent to let them have a space to destroy in?

or did she mean in giving a space for peaceful protest she screw up and accidentally created a space for them to destroy in..

She is either boasting of creating a space for destruction

Or confessing she screw up and unwittingly created it with her peaceful protest space

I think this is a sign that there will be pressure for the Baltimore Mayor to step down.
