Yesterday Jazz wrote about the Baltimore cleanup effort put together by Trump supporter Scott Presler. After the public spat between Trump and Rep. Elijah Cummings, Presler wanted to genuinely do something positive. So he gathered somewhere between 200-300 people to clean up trash, cut lawns, and make things look better. He posted before and after photos of the effort on Twitter. That led to a snarky editorial for the Baltimore Sun which veered between admitting the cleanup was needed and blaming Presler for sending the wrong message.

Update: Well, here’s one reason things don’t get cleaned up in Baltimore. Scott Pressler says he spent a week requesting permission to have dumpsters on the street for the cleanup. The city never approved the request so Pressler went ahead without the permits. Today he received a denial from the city.

Stuff this editorial where the Sun don't shine.

What's the abbreviation for Baltimore Sun again?

You are correct.

So they will be sued for some sort of civil rights crime.

The city denied them a permit for the event. I wonder if they’ll be arrested.

What he should have done is dump all the trash in the front yard of the editor of that rag and leave.

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

That would have been a hoot.

What really would have been entertaining is dumping the trash in front their building.

There’s a video on Twitter of that exact thing happening.

Some white guy is picking up trash and putting it in a trash can and some black women are taking it out and dropping it back on the street right in front of him.

It was a Twitter image with a comment at one of the links and I’ll be dipped if I know how to find it now.

I do not have the computer savvy to figure out how to link to something like that.

How Deplorable that Trump supporters cleaned up a section of Baltimore. Mayne, just maybe some of the abandoned buildings could be fixed up. I bet it could be done.

Presler's visit simply "reinforces the tired image of our failing urban cores. That the poor people in this dilapidated city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods and all the public officials around them have failed as well."
