$20M Riot....paid for by you and I.
They shouldn’t get 1¢ from ANY Federal agency for this contrived mayhem.
Send the bill to 1600 Pa. Ave.
those are initial claims filed. ongoing problems will send the initial claim costs higher
FEMA? are blacks now considered a natural catastrophe?
And the people who did all of this are not taxpayers. You're right, it's a lunatic asylum.
Wait till the police trial starts and they are all acquitted.
Imagine owning a home in or near that pit and seeing your value drop 40% after a lifetime of work? Enough to make one want to storm the gates I’d think.
Sent the bill to the mayor. She is the one who told the police to back off.
If she gets FEMA funds will this set an example I can use if we have a party and wish to collect damages from the FEDS?
The bill will be for $20 million. Obama will send them $60 million.
On top of the $1.8 Billion we already dumped into that sewer
Baltimore does not deserve one single dime from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The way it’s going for Mosby these days, it may never get to trial and she may be without a law license

When it does, I will watch all of Baltimore burn itself to the ground. I will watch from my mountain top as I enjoy a fresh piece of homemade apple pie.
The quicker is better.
Hopefully the officers will have contacted work comp attorneys and seek as much money in compensation as possible. Baltimore police officers carry an injured comrade from the streets near Mondawmin Mall in Baltimore, Maryland. (Brendan Smialowski/Getty Images)
Baltimore police claim that 113 police officers were injured during the riots. Cenname says that some are still out of work and are expected to be absent for some time.

There are consequences when thugs are given space to destroy. Problem is, we the people will pick up the tab for this stupidity. In a just world, the idiot mayor, her alma mater, the NAACP, and the DNC would be sent a bill.
$20M...to let those folks have "some space to destroy".
