Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott Calls on Media to ‘Stop Showing’ Bridge Collapse Video
Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2024 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 03/26/2024 9:37:10 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an appearance on CNN on Tuesday, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott asked the media to stop showing footage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s collapse in his city, suggesting the footage could have a detrimental impact on family of victims and people in his city.

“Well, it was something out of an action movie,” he said. “It’s something you never think you would see. And being here, right now, looking at it, is even more surreal. And it just makes you think about, again, those families — those individuals that were on that bridge. Those folks, even on that vessel, even more, because no one should have to endure.”

“And I’m going to be the first to ask that CNN and everyone else stop showing the video,” Scott added. “No one needs to see a possibility of their family member being severely injured or otherwise over and over and over again because it’s just traumatizing our community.”

They never show the 9-11 videos any more.......................

I still flinch when I watch old episodes of Barney Miller, Friends and Law and Order with those beautiful towers in background shots.

Now I’m REALLY suspicious about what’s going on with this.

Any reason that dems want something hushed up is a huge red flag that there’s WAY more to this story than meets the eye.

Are we 100% certain this wasn’t an act of terrorism?

Let's see, a ship loaded to the gunnels with mudslum ‘sailors’ — yes it could very well be terrorism.

Idiot does not realize that it is because of the long version of that video that 7/8 of the population will believe it is an accident. Because 3/4 of us wouldn’t simply believe what officials say.

Denying reality is insanity.

If people were really that credulous, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections.

What happened to Build Back Better?? That used to be a campaign slogan and here it is campaign season.

To build back, you must destroy first.

I have watched it a number of times and I am not traumatized.

My theory is they weren’t using tugboats to guide the vessel to open ocean through a relatively narrow channel, to save money for the Port Authority so they could kick back the maximum amount to City Hall. They don’t want any maritime experts to see their incompetence.
