Student 'Purge' Threat Shuts Down Baltimore Businesses, Schools

The University of Maryland, Baltimore and numerous downtown businesses closed early Monday, citing concerns about potentially violent activity in the area.

Lexington Market, a city courthouse and businesses including T. Rowe Price and Venable LLP said police warned them of large gatherings and protests downtown.

According to widely circulated flier, a high school "purge" was to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin and ending downtown.

Such memes have been known to circulate regularly, but today's has led to bolstered police presence around the city.

The flier includes an image of protesters smashing the windshield of a police car this past weekend after a march spurred by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died earlier this month after being arrested by city police, turned violent and destructive.

A post on the University of Maryland Baltimore's website said that the closure was prompted by a recommendation from city police. The campus will also stop shuttle service.

The Mayor ‘wants’ to retain control, it’s her own plan that’s being played out, which she designed herself........sooo the Nat’ Guard is “backup” to the State Police who are in Charge over this happening. Which she called the Gov. for.

If she declares “martial law” then the Nat.l Guard will automatically take ‘full control’...which is why she won’t.

If this isn’t controlled it’s going to look like Ukraine not Ferguson.

Rule of thumb for the police...take down and arrest anyone wearing a gas mask....it's not like someone has them hanging on their cap rack
