Thirty-six thousand baseball fans penned in Baltimore stadium as Freddie Gray protests turn violent
The Daily Mail ^ | Apr 25th 2015

Protests to demand answers in the case of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man died in Baltimore Police custody last week, descended into chaos on Saturday night.

After a few hours of peaceful demonstrations, scores of rowdy protesters crowded outside Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox in ten innings.

Spectators at the game, with a reported attendance of 36,757, were told that they could not leave the baseball stadium until cleared to do so by police, who allowed them to exit shortly after 10pm when the game ended.

I’m not sure what happened to Gray, and frankly that seems like a very suspicious situation, but this is not how to handle it at all.


Agree. It doesn’t matter to so many of them. This is what they live for. They do nothing all day and it’s someone else’s fault.

Sarah, let me take a wild guess here: you’ve never been to Baltimore, right? Sorry, there’s nothing much left to destroy. Baltimore is a border-to-border ghetto. When they try to put up something nice, like the Inner Harbor, it’s
quickly destroyed. Being there i like being in a bad sci-fi pic. Been that way for a long, long time.

Funny thing is, back ‘in the day,’ when Tommy D’Allesandro, Sr. was Mayor, and his family lived at Fells Point/Little Italy, blacks in the city knew not to go into that ‘hood unless it was for work they were hired to do there. Otherwise, they would not come out alive. Tommy’s little girl Nancy went on to become first woman Speaker of the House, ain’t that grand?

From an older Freeper.

What you had at the stadium was temporary martial law.
against law abiding citizens. Once again is the issue is not that it was a
good or bad decision to stay or leave the stadium. Each person or family
we’re capable of making those decisions.
However, martial law was imposed on them.
That is the issue.

How the Hell do you fight crime by committing crimes?

I don’t believe that’s true.

My cousin, an engineer, worked on the 91st floor of the South Tower of The World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

He had an early appointment that morning with ConEd in Brooklyn, so he was nowhere near the Twin Towers at the time of the attacks.

He said some of his co-workers left the South Tower after they saw what happened to the North Tower.

The ones who left the South Tower immediately after the attack on the North Tower lived; those who took a wait-and-see attitude and remained behind, they lost their lives when the second plane hit and their escape routes were destroyed.

Investigation, gather evidence, present evidence, trial, decision by jury.

Seems pretty obvious TO ANYONE FROM AN ACTUAL CIVILIZATION.

Civilization will survive as long as people choose to remain civil.

Or, I guess we could go smash businesses and terrorize motorists because we’re mad...

Baltimore is a toilet. New Orleans of the Atlantic. Run by black libs in every position. Utterly supported by government jobs.

Exactly what happened in Watertown and environs with the Pursuit of the second tsarnaev POS

He is guilty on all counts but has 6 relatives here from Dagestan ( yeah…like that is a country? right?!!)

We the taxpayers are paying for them and they are moving from hotel to hotel with Gov’t protection.

THIS is the US of A?

Ozero has turned this country upside down.
We need to grow a BIG set and fight back.

I know it’s true.
PA announcements were telling people who had ridden the elevator
down were told to go back up to their office.

It was not an order, but it had the same effect, as employees followed
the suggestion of these announcements.

Unlike Baltimore Stadium, the folds in Trade Center 2 were not forced
to stay, but the PA announcements had the same effect.
That is a fact!

"I’m not sure what happened to Gray, and frankly that seems like a very suspicious situation, but this is not how to handle it at all."

At its beginning and core, it's not a black-vs-white situation, although that attitude is being pushed through contemporary political speech. The objective for the time being is to get white political chatterers on board with what we're seeing in black neighborhoods, then...snap! It will be more common in white neighborhoods.

The most influential political constituents want a general crackdown, so to speak. They're afraid of what may happen, after the economy crashes more for lack of production on American soil.

And remember that much more of the middle class will fall with the layoffs ahead.

And the sheeple did what they were forced to do.
Temporary martial law was imposed on those fans.
I hope people realize what just happened to them at that stadium.

MD has already disarmed the law abiding, so now they are responsible for their safety and must therefore hold them each in protective custody.

The citizens of MD have made their bed and must lie in it. If they don’t like it, I’m sure there’s a way to change it.

“Why did the Baltimore Police allow this violence?
Orders from the top.”

Yeah, another “Chocolate City,” but then most of them are today. Chocolate people, chocolate mayor, chocolate chief of police, but funny thing, they don’t have the ability to run it successfully. I know, they need Coleman Young, and give him twenty years and he’ll make Baltimore into the next Detroit. But wait, they already have Coleman’s “blueprint,” so they are already “on their way.”

Those that depend on the Government for protection when the SHTF
will be the first to go.

BTW, those influential constituents see disgruntled whites in the near future as being potentially far more dangerous to them. The fear is that more well educated and well armed malcontents will eventually head for the neighborhoods of the more influential folks (the last to be laid off from government/government-linked jobs: administrators and the like) with more well planned intentions.

The more influential folks hope to pass some laws first with the help of many useful idiots through race-based propaganda and orchestrations. Thus, so many incidents and disseminations about race.

There are, without a doubt, dark forces at work in America.
