Hours after Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced sweeping executive orders Monday to restrict public gatherings and business operations due to the new coronavirus, state police and local law enforcement agencies said they were prepared to arrest those who deliberately flout the directives....
...Officers, who are being instructed to record gatherings via their body-worn cameras, will be empowered to break up large gatherings of more than 50 people at all venues in the county, and officials also have the authority to further reduce the number.
... The enforcement of the order prohibiting gatherings or events of 50 or more people at all locations and venues will be primarily complaint-driven, said Sean Naron, a spokesman for Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr.'s administration. Naron said people should call 911 if they see violations of the executive order.

He hardly counts as a Republican. Even more RINO than Romney?

Let me get this straight.
They are saying that they want to release people in jail because of coronavirus so that they can then arrest people because of coronavirus?
Madness.

PERSPECTIVE: As of 10:53 the USA has 4,661 cases and 85 deaths. By contrast, the influenza outbreak of 2012-2013 had 56,000 deaths. Nevetheless...Maryland's cases went from 5 to 21 in less than 24 hours. That is a >200% increase.
Scary---but Hogan's Zeroes are scarier.

Should have waited until 3/4 of counties (including Baltimore City) started to have problems. As far as I know, the problems are mainly in Central MD so far.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!

We’ll see if that holds in a few weeks. An R0 of around 2.5 can be such a b****.

If more than 50 cops show up, would that be illegal?

"...people should call 911 if they see violations of the executive order." Everyone needs to call and report the elected politicians still gathering in Annapolis to fleece the sheeple...

Arrest them and do what with them?
Everyone else is prepping to turn their prisoners loose because corona!
And Baltimore is leftist, so they wont be able to refuse to do the same.

this will last until it turns out too many black gatherings are getting broken up. The order will be modified or abandoned.
THIS
Am certain that such gatherings will also be utilized to distract the police so that other 'activities' can be successfully conducted without interference.

I respect your posts so I can see about the medical system crashing.
As for large groups hanging out on the streets..well that’s legal until they do something wrong.
There’s LOTS of things we can prohibit because they GENERALLY lead to no good.
Like ALCOHOL in bars. AND in homes. AND at ball games.
And then other things that are “generally bad” will follow suit.
Raising kids right would put an end to most of those kids causing trouble.
Me and 20 paesani used to hang out on street corners and cause NO grief.
But you’re right. 20 Italian teens and 20 of obama’s sons are two different things

What’s with the “we”?
You didn’t fail. I didn’t in NYC
40 percent of the people in both states didn’t.
We were just outnumbered and 60/40 in most wars will end badly for the 40.
