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.

It refers to a movie where for 24 hours there are no laws.

Kind of a stupid movie. Well, not kind of...it is a stupid movie.

Stars from HBO's 'The Wire' plead for an end to Baltimore riots...The show was filmed almost entirely 'in Baltimore'. Pierce, who played detective Bunk Moreland; and Royo, who played a junkie named Bubbles, both took to Twitter to vent their sadness and outrage over the looting and destruction.

Update:

....Maryland Transit Administration says it’s bypassing several subway stations and ‘closing at least one bus station’ because of police activity in areas of Baltimore. Public schools in the city are closed for the day,....

... several neighboring districts said they would cancel any scheduled field trips to Baltimore.

.....Local television footage showed firefighters on the scene of one many fires that broke out overnight and residents sweeping up debris on city streets

I wonder what filled the gap between 16 July 2008 & 13 April 2012?

His record appears to show a severe lapse in judicial consistency.

That’s a sad picture. That needs to be sent to the Mayor, so she can see what she did by “giving them a space to destroy.”

Whose space, Ms. Mayor? Certainly not City Hall’s...just that of the unfortunate residents of your city.

Robbing and setting fires....these kids 'all' need to be on the streets cleaning up today...if 'all' the kids were helping with cleanup THEN they might understand some degree of pride

Just waking up after a short crash. Has it subsided, or moved on to newer, undestroyed territory?

They're cleaning up...but all the photos so far show just 'adults working'....am beginning thinking this might be a big part of the problem...the parents/adults always picking up after the kids when every kid is off school today...the streets should be full of them cleaning this mess up!
