Just consider the fact that 36,000 people were temporarily penned up at the baseball stadium. And imagine what they thought when they learned that when the riots broke out that the Mayor wasn’t concerned for their safety. She magnanimously directed that the police give the rioters space to destroy. And as you all have posted, why in the HELL would ANYONE want to visit Baltimore EVER?
The “penned up...” folks, already live in that hell hole, or close by. Do you actually think these morons, were bothered by some Baltimore rukus? Good grief, the city made money on this farce. Big money, and more to come. Please don’t portray simplicity, as a cause for this prime-time extortion, written large, by the in-charge.
Who were the real criminals in the minds of the mayor? Those in the stadium or those rioting?
