Baltimore's $20 Million Federally Financed Riots
05/28/2015
Accountability: After encouraging rioters to lay waste to Baltimore, the city's mayor now says she's confident she can get Uncle Sam to pay for the damage. What is this, the new age of federally financed riots?
One month after the race riots that trashed Baltimore, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said that the city would apply for a $20 million Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to replenish the "rainy day fund" being used to pay for cleanup and police overtime costs in the wake of the mayhem that she herself is on record as encouraging.
"In order to replenish this fund, we've already worked with the state to apply for a federal FEMA reimbursement, and we are confident that we will receive a significant reimbursement from the federal government," CBS Baltimore affiliate WJZ reported her as saying Wednesday.

This has nothing to do with skin color. In this part of the country some of the finest, hardest working people I've seen are black, and some of the sorriest freeloaders are Caucasian.
Redistribution of wealth takes many forms.
For this brief period in history when we have a central bank that is able to print unpacked, fiat money, monetize debt, and manipulate interest rates, our massive left-progressive government can fund any scheme or social-engineering program it wants

I share Mayor Rawlings “confidence” that Valerie will give her all the federal money she wants and then some. That’s the African American way.
The cost of black crime and blacks on welfare probably costs one trillion annually.
I note you said SOME. Of course color is not a cause the true cause is low intelligence coupled with poor impulse control. Color is a mere indicator. Yes, I know there are exceptions but they are not the rule. The exceptions are not the average.
I would not be surprised. That raises the question; What are we going to do about it?
One of my young sons asked why black people were rioting (when we were watching the live coverage of it); I told him they were doing it because they would steal and then white people would come in and fix everything. The next morning, as if on cue, while he was putting his shoes on before school the TV showed a white tow truck driver hauling away one of the burnt cars.
When we stop fixing these things they will stop; Newark NJ has basically been abandoned by the state, so now it seems they have no police protection, road maintenance, etc.
If these urban parasites think they’ll enjoy the same lifestyle as those of us who work our tails off all day, they’re dreaming; they will continue sacrificing their “youths” so they can enjoy a life of leisure - and their offspring and ours will live in two distinct and separate worlds.
The Mau Maus fought for independence (though I’m sure they now regret that); what were the Baltimore felons fighting for? If NJ cities are any indication, they are going to end up in the same boat as the Mau Maus (living in a place where nothing has been fixed since the last Englishman packed up & left)...
Given our present leaders....probably nothing. Many more American cities will be trashed before the big brains finally figure out The Black Underclass has to be clamped down on. Even then I doubt little will be done to rectify the situation.
Take a cruise out of Baltimore? No way.

We who founded the government and governed for over 200 years have abdicated and the Third World is rushing in to fill the vacuum.
By the way I agree with you Western man no longer has leaders.
I don’t think we will live in two separate worlds. Western man is so sick that he invites a massive murder, rape, sack and plunder. It is only a matter of time.
I understand what you are saying, but the moment hard work only gets you a slot in gubmint housing with the perpetually unassimilated unemployable parasites will be the last time anyone goes to work.
These minimum wage increase laws are happening in part because adults working full-time at minimum-wage jobs have the same standard of living as the shiftless parasites (only they are more tired); rather than decrease the freebies to entice the unemployed to work, state/city governments are instead looking to demand more from the employers (regardless of the value of the work performed).
Too many non-blacks make lucrative livings out of the current misery; don’t hold your breath expecting any clampdown. By the time people realize that is the solution, it will be Asians & Hispanics clamping down (and whites, consistently refusing to breed, will be a distant memory).
In addition to throwing out baby with the proverbial bath water, you also absolve any non-blacks who might also have been guilty.
