So, is the one cop in the picture holding his shield upside down? LOL.
Can’t they just fine CVS $20 million for the air pollution their fire caused?
Human life was safer during the riots than this past weekend in Baltimore.
I hope you evil white racists are proud for not helping rebuild Baltimore.

“Baltimore estimates riot costs at $20 million”
Totally worth it. After all, the rioters were not denied the necessary “space to destroy”. It would have been a complete tragedy to deny them that simply for the want of a measly $20 million in damage to private property, no doubt, most of which was covered by evil insurance companies owned and operated by plutocratic one-percenter capitalist pigs.
Only the down payment.
You can't make this stuff up...........
Plus the lost revenue of business meetings that were canceled (hotels, booze, food), and events that would have been planned to locate in Baltimore but now will not.
I predict tickets for night games for the Orioles will go for a song.
Nice going Steph - you’re now about on par with NYC’s deBlasio.
Philadelphia had the answer:
POLICE DROP BOMB ON RADICALS’ HOME IN PHILADELPHIA

Published: May 14, 1985
PHILADELPHIA, May 13— A state police helicopter this evening dropped a bomb on a house occupied by an armed group after a 24-hour siege involving gun battles.
A 90-minute shootout this morning came after a week of growing tension between the city and the group, known as Move. Residents in the western Philadelphia neighborhood had complained about the group for years. The only known survivors from within the house were a woman and a child.
The fire spread to 50 to 60 other houses in the neighborhood, said the Fire Commissioner, William Richmond. He declared the fire under control about 11:40 P.M.
Aimed to Hit Bunker
The Police Commissioner, Gregore Sambor, said tonight that it was was his decision to drop the charge, a square package of explosives designed to destroy a bunker atop the house and drop it through to the second floor. He said the charge succeeded in eliminating the threat from the roof, but touched off the fire. ... http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/14/us/police-drop-bomb-on-radicals-home-in-philadelphia.html
The cost meter will continue to run. Think how many tourists will be avoiding Baltimogadishu in the future.
Why not extract the $20 million from the rioters’ welfare checks?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
