Police believe stolen prescription drugs are driving the violence sweeping the city.

“There’s enough narcotics on the streets of Baltimore to keep it intoxicated for a year,” Commissioner Batts said.

More than 175,000 units or doses of drugs were looted from 27 pharmacies and two methadone clinics during the April 27 riots. Almost half of those businesses haven’t even finished assessing what was stolen.

Parables of hell are illuminating — it is the way people act towards God (and thus towards each other) that makes a hell into a hell. Hell is nothing but the resources of heaven being grossly misused by selfish souls. It isn’t a phenomenon of a God that has decided to go pout in a corner. That decision was human.

By order of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake this all became legal.

Someday, Baltimore will be known as Mosbyville and be nothing more than a theme park, a Game-farm for folks to drive through and see the fenced in animals living in their natural state.

Of course, they way things are going, these creatures will also be listed as an endangered species.

This, and nonsense like this, will be Obama’s legacy....and his finest hour.

I am thinking that if I were to ever drive through Baltimore (trust me-NEVER happen) and see that trash, I might slow down to get a photo, but I wouldn’t roll down my window. ;>)

Malory: I don’t want another one of your sullen whores using my medicine cabinet as a Pez dispenser.

Archer: That wasn’t her fault! Who puts Oxycontin in a Xanax container?

Malory: People with servants!

Archer: But if they’re stealing pills, how does it help to switch the labels?

Malory: Because they can’t read English!
