Violence and looting overtook much of West Baltimore on Monday, seriously injuring several police officers and leaving a store and several vehicles in flames..

At least seven police officers were injured in a clash that began near Mondawmin Mall and spread toward downtown. One officer was unresponsive and others suffered broken bones, police spokesman Capt. Eric Kowalczyk said.

Smoke filled the air as police responded with shields and a tactical vehicle. Demonstrators pelted officers with rocks, bricks and bottles and assaulted a photojournalist, and officers fired back with tear gas and pepper balls.

Demonstrators set a police vehicle ablaze at North and Pennsylvania avenues. Nearby, they looted a CVS drug store, which store officials said had already closed, before it caught fire. Rioters cut the fire hose as firefighters battled the blaze....

Sarah told me that Marina is in her hospital in Baltimore and it is on lock down. No one is permitted to leave. The seriously injured policeman is in her hospital.

During the LA riots most of the deployed police were protecting fire fighters who were trying to keep the city from burning down.

>> Remember 911? That united us.

To the exclusion of the Left that pretended for a short while.

He was masked but there didn’t seem to be any white guys around this street except the reporter. Well, he was a “white” Hispanic.

Law enforcement needs a new slogan: If you loot, we will shoot.

The democratic Mayor of Baltimore who incited the rioters thugs to destroy the city should be put in jail and impeached.

Dozens of Blacks are murdered by Blacks every month just in Chicago. Obama should create a department in the white and hire several dozens of new personal to be sent as Obama’s personal representatives to the funerals of murdered Blacks regardless of the race of the perpetrator. Is for Obama the life of a Black only worthy if the murderer is white, but is worthless is the murderer is Black?

According to FBHI statistics, 84% of white homicide victims were murdered by Blacks. How many times Obama sent his White House personal representatives to the funerals of Whites murdered by Black felons?

but, I thought the Democratic mayor wanted to give them room to destroy?

The citizens of that city get what they deserve for electing Democrats.

yep, I have been saying that all along.

The more they riot, the bigger we will win in 2016.

The only thing more than a welfare check people want, is safety.

Thanks, and it figures, 2 minutes after I ask you I see a vid of the punk wearing a gas mask cutting the hose, his hair was the tell—black guy.

“Coming soon to a city near you?”

Nah, don’t think so. Not many folks with really dark tans in our neck of the woods. Besides, most of the boys around here subscribe to the “shoot, shovel, shut up” philosophy.

Just like in Kenya back in 2006 with the Odinga riots.

This Obama sure does love to start a riot.
