Hundreds of youths outside a mall in northwest Baltimore are clashing violently with police in riot gear, throwing rocks, bricks and bottles at the officers.
Baltimore police say on Twitter that several officers have been injured. Officers are using pepper-spray to keep the protesters back.
A flier circulated on social media called for a period of violence Monday afternoon to begin at the Mondawmin Mall and move downtown toward City Hall.

The University of Maryland campus in downtown Baltimore shut down its campus at 2 p.m., saying it has been warned by the Baltimore Police Department that activities in the area may turn violent.

Yeah, you’re right. .22LR is too hard to get, best not waste it.
Better to use 762X39, really. That stuff grows on trees.
I was saying on a thread Saturday that I was in Baltimore, going on a cruise from there and returning two weeks ago. The city has done a wonderful job making the city use-friendly for tourists. This idiot mayor is going to ruin all of that hard work and all of the economic opportunity it’s been bringing to the city.
Obama’s america.
>> 762X39, really. That stuff grows on trees.
Fair enough; at risk of mixing metaphors, use the low-hanging fruit to thin the herd.
This is insane. The government has an OBLIGATION to keep law-abiding citizens safe!
This is a repeat of Ferguson. Only in Baltimore - they won't even pretend to stop the ferals.
A bunch of animals now attack another bunch of animals. Nope, ain't picking a side in this one. The cops have used up all their credit as good guys. This is the logical and predicted result of their "Us Vs. Them" attitudes.
It's not even officially Summer, yet. Blood is going to flood the streets. Y'all have a nice time. I've got some .308 to reload, for when It get's closer.
Yeah because you are unarmed while in the gates.
They probably won’t let anyone into the game who is carrying. If the rioters storm the fence, the fans would be sitting ducks.
Major League Baseball implemented new gate security procedures this season. Going to the ballgame is now like going to the airport. No thanks, I’ll stay home.
I think the Orioles will have no choice but to postpone the game.
Shemp Smith is now on FOX making excuses for the riots and looting. What a tool. Shemp got a little hot when Gutfield called him on his bias toward the criminals.
Maryland “Freak State” DANG!
Protesting at a mall?? Why not City Hall? Oh, no flat screen TVs or Nikes to grab there? I don’t call it a protest, I would call it a gathering, any place you go to gather stuff.
It was bad enough a few years ago when we went with our young son to Camden Yards. Actually, 10 years ago going to Ravens’ game there. Checking through purses, God forbid don’t bring any bags, confiscating cameras (at the Raven game), etc.
We are such weinies, even accepting this.
But then, in this generation of big-box private stores that treat everyone like criminals (yes, I mean Costco, BJs), why wouldn’t the sheep accept this treatment?
City Hall has been done to death this week.
As you see, the “plan” was to END at CH today.
How do you know he didn’t have some problem that came to the fore when he was arrested? (Yes, great coincidence, but crap does happen.)
Immediate assumption of guilt, of how things happened, especially with questionable characters like this, is foolish and unfair.
bird shot is better, it spreads the love
we just Must..STOP these MALLS from Rioting!!
