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.

Defending his business in Baltimore:

Behind him the corner shop he's vowed to defend. Its glass door had already been smashed in by looters. Groups of youths ran through the darkness of nearby streets...

Was he prepared to actually use the weapon he was holding?..... "You're damn straight I am," he replied.

Would that be legal?.... "Nope," he laughed. "But forget the law when the law can't protect civilians. This is kind of all-out war."

I’m not so sure that isn’t illegal to defend one’s property. Unless of course there is some stipulation that you can’t use garden implements.
