Anybody with any degree of grey matter figured that out...
I was watching this develope from early on and you could call exactly what to expect the next minute. Many did and it played out exactly that way.
The decisions made were simply to save political face by the Mayor and her co-hurts.
It’s like many retail stores today....they don’t prosecute shop lifters let alone go after them....they simply figure in a certain % of merchandise will be stolen. Because the costs and time to prosecute outweighs the loss costs.
That’s what is seen in Baltimore....cheaper to let them “vent” then to have blood and arrests.
Appreciate the convo.

Depends where I guess. Guy stole a TV from Wally World here monday morning with the loss prevention people trying to stop him. He got out of the store and the police took up the chase. Five minutes and 80MPH later he was shot in the head after being hit by a cruiser. Spaced out on meth and now probably perpetually spaced out. Unfortunately this may have been an over reaction by the police though, shooting a fleeing thief is not a good call most of the time.
