It was announced over the weekend that the 10 p.m. curfew in Baltimore was being lifted in a move intended to bring a sense of normalcy back to the city.
The curfew had been implemented last week in the wake of destructive riots and looting that occurred after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a young black man who died from a spinal injury while in police custody.
Now that the smoke has cleared and the clean up of the city continues, it has been revealed that approximately 200 businesses were destroyed in the riots, causing untold millions of dollars in damage and lost business.
However, a connection among most of the destroyed businesses was also revealed too, and it has to do with who owned the destroyed businesses.
During the riots, many black-owned businesses put up signs announcing such and directing looters to take out their criminal aggression elsewhere, if they weren’t already being protected by gangs and protestors.
According to Breitbart, most of the businesses destroyed in the largely black areas affected by the Baltimore riots were owned by Arabs or Asians, and not white Americans, reminiscent of the Los Angeles riots in the 1990s.
“Stores were being looted a lot of terrible things, but since then I’ve seen incredible acts of kindness,” said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, speaking about the riots last Monday night before noting that the city had largely returned to a peaceful status.
Thankfully, Gov. Hogan stepped in to the dire situation the day after the riots, sending in the National Guardto help keep things mostly peaceful over the past week and allow the city to begin recovering.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Baltimore must still answer for allowing the rioters to loot at will on the night of lawless rioting, and the Arab and Asian business owners should hold her directly responsible for the loss of their livelihood.
Here comes Pigford all over again—freebies to the undeserving!!
That’s what Backs want - to destroy their economy so they can leech off the taxpayers.
200 businesses.
I doubt that most of them will start back up.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
What a stupid attempt at a joke.
“Businesses won’t build here, because they are racists! “
“Not everyone in Baltimore is burning businesses, and if you won’t build one here, , you’rea racist. “
I can hear it now.
