Wanna bet those businesses are Asian or Paki ?
Riots-this means WAR!
There are food deserts because most people in their right mind wouldn’t open a business there.
Used to run in for a soda at 3 or 4am when driving a cab overnight. It was a bad neighborhood.
almost every time, someone was trying to steal something or was arguing about price or there was a drunk in there.
With the esteemed mayor being ‘misquoted’ on camera of letting the gangs run wild, I predict lawsuit and payments being made.
Convert all the burned out liquor stores to mini-mosques.
< /sarc >
At the risk of being racciss...
what about pawn shops? check cashing stores?
They do realize, don’t they, that this means that no liquor stores will ever be built in those areas again?
Is that the point?
I’m sure the libs would BI itch if they didn’t have a convenient source of alcohol.
These women are clueless.
What is the source of this “riot recovery money”??
Maybe it’s from the Clinton Crime Family.
This is written weird.
They are not being shut down at all.
They can stay open and still sell liquor just as they always have.
They are saying the tax payers (and how much of that comes from federal funds?) aren’t going to pay for their repairs.
You all think that is outrageous?
This will likely not stand legal scrutiny
My businesses were forced shut by city of Nashville during the 2010 flood
For about 5 weeks
For no good reason just purely emotion
We hired lawyers and lobbyists and got our money back
FEMA won’t help much either
Money after riots or disasters is all about politics
Nashville city council is around 40% black
We “persuaded” them to our way of thinking and they vote in block
That solved all our problems
This will — or at least should — be struck down by the federal courts as unconstitutional.
Another left wing outrage.
These stores would still be in business if the mayor had not wanted to give her people the space to riot. Now she has taken their livelihoods away through the back door.
The bum wine lobby (Thunderbird, Night Train) will lobby to get this ruling reversed. They are too big to fail.
Well Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, there shouldn’t be ANY so called “recovery money”!! This was no accident or natural disaster... you and your people deliberately burned that city down.
People have died because of your incompetence and racism, you shouldn’t be deciding who gets a dime of the publics money, instead, you should be counting piles of fly sh!t on your cell wall just to pass the time away....... and wondering what’s on the prison menu for today.
As the old saying goes, “This is not my circus, those are not my monkeys.”
Now there will be liquor deserts....
baltimore is about HEROIN not booze
what do you think the pos was selling when he ran from the cops in the first place...
he ran to a building dumped the dope and doubled back towards the cops and got arrested...
Baltimore, you are a lost cause... I mean, if I had a grandfathered liquor store in a residential neighborhood, and it was damaged I can’t get a grant to fix my store, yet if across the street, a liquor store wasn’t damaged it can stay open. I’d sue the city...restraint of trade.
I believe Maryland taxes booze at 9%. There may be federal and city taxes on top of that. I hope they lose all that revenue.
Sounds like the lady mayor “a bit uncomfortable” with blacks having access to liquor.
