Black Lies Matter

A man named Freddie Gray died while in the custody of the Baltimore City Police. Gray has a long record mostly for drug distribution and is likely not a good guy so the portrait of a great guy (a lie) is way over the top BUT he should not have died while in custody. Initial reports are that he suffered a spinal injury while in the custody of police and his requests for medical assistance fell on deaf ears.

No matter why he was arrested or what his history was he deserved better treatment and I hope this will all become clear after it is investigated. I say I hope because the police are conducting the investigation and that casts doubt on the integrity of the process. Officers are rarely found in the wrong when investigated by their own departments.

There are a lot of people in Baltimore who are upset about this and a large number of them decided to protest. I have no issue with peaceful protests. The act of protesting PEACEFULLY is part of what makes America great. The problems come when those protests end up interfering with the lives of other people or turn into riots.

It is great to protest but to block traffic and shut down businesses is interfering with the rights of others to move about unhampered and free of harassment.

When the protests turn to riots people get hurt and property gets damaged. The legal peaceful protest turns into an illegal act.

On Saturday night in Baltimore the protest turned into a riot as unlawful people began breaking windows of businesses, looting said businesses, damaging vehicles and attacking the public and the police.

People attending the Orioles game were not allowed to leave the stadium for a while because of the riots (this possibly unlawful detention is a subject that could have its own discussion). Perhaps the 30,000 or so people should have been unleashed on the rioters…

In any event, the Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, proved she is a lightweight who is unable to lead. On top of that, she and Elijah Cummings lied about the nature of the violence.

The mayor and Representative Cummings both stated that the riots were the result of outside agitators and that most of the people involved were not from Baltimore.

[note]Al Shaprton, an outside agitator if ever there was one, will be going to Baltimore to get involved. You can bet that SRB and Cummings will welcome him and never think to blame any unrest on him.[/note]

First of all, how can they tell just by looking at the people? How did SRB and Cummings determine that these folks causing and participating in the riots were NOT from Baltimore?

The police arrest reports seem to paint another picture. Nearly all of those arrested for rioting were from Baltimore.

I am sure there were outside players who incited people but they are only part the reason for the riots. Those who participated were the major reason and most of them were from the city.

This lie is to paint a picture of a competent leader who has her finger on the pulse of the city and to keep people from drawing the conclusion that this all took place because of liberal rule, liberal policies and the liberal victim mindset.

SRB indicated that she told the police to protect the protestors and give them space. Fair enough. We can’t have them getting hit by cars or being attacked for peacefully protesting. But the dimwit also told police to give the rioters space to break things.

Many businesses were damaged and people were hurt. Property insurance usually has a clause that excludes damage from civil unrest. Will Baltimore write checks to the owners who lost property? Will the city pay for the damage it allowed to happen?

The police have some explaining to do with regard to how Gray ended up dead while under their control but they showed a lot of restraint during the rioting. Perhaps it is because they were following SRB’s orders but they showed restraint under very dangerous circumstances. A lot more people could have ended up hurt or dead if the police had been more aggressive (not that hurting rioters would be a bad thing).

The lack of spine SRB has and the lack of leadership during the outbreak of lawlessness will embolden those who wish to participate in more illegal and dangerous acts. Right now the police are on alert because rival gangs have banned together to stop killing each other and start killing police officers.

This is what happens in liberal run cities where people are lied to each and every day. They are held down by liberals and told they are victims. The people grown up with no desire to achieve and a belief that they are victims who can only be protected by the government.

The race hustlers and liberals like SRB and Cummings push that narrative and their lies have devastating consequences.

Yes, these black lies matter…

They Will Feel Right At Home In Baltimore

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake unveiled her plans to lure immigrants to the “Charm City”. There is no indication whether her plan is strictly for those here legally or all comers regardless of status but since Maryland welcomes illegals with open arms and Blake calls these folks New Americans like the moron governor, there is no doubt she will welcome them with open arms.

I don’t know what Blake wants to accomplish with her plan. Baltimore already has a high crime rate, a drug use and trafficking problem and large numbers of people on welfare so it is not like she is looking to actually change the landscape.

Perhaps she just wants to increase population since Baltimore keeps losing people who are tired of the failure of liberalism. There will always be the hangers on who have their hands out and expect gubmint to take care of them but those looking for a better life are fleeing the city (and in many cases the state all together).

Since most parts of Baltimore look and act like third world countries the immigrants, legal or not, will feel right at home and who knows, with a little work (ha ha work) on their part Baltimore might just hit the bottom it has been seeking for decades.

Blake wants 10,000 new families to inhabit her run down city and I am sure there are plenty of immigrants (including lots and lots of illegals) who are looking for a place to call home.

The rest of the counties should realize that while Blake is importing crime, disease and new welfare recipients they will be footing the bill.

Baltimore has two things going for it and those are the Ravens and the Orioles. If those teams played in another part of the state there would be no reason to visit the city.

Oh, it does have a new casino that attracts people from outside the city but it is too new to determine if it will be a plus or a minus for the city.

Of course the casino and stadiums do need people to clean them up and what better way than low wage immigrants.

Perhaps Blake can get her lawn taken care of as well…

Make The Occupied Cities Pay

The Occupy [name a city] movement is a display of liberal politics and philosophy. The protesters are generally located in areas that are run by Democrats which means they are places that are bankrupt and feature a dependent class of takers.

The problem is that these protesters are running roughshod over Democrat politicians who are bowing down to them because they are afraid they will lose votes. The same politicians who have no problem attacking the peaceful and respectful TEA Party members cower in fear over these sub human cretins who are destroying property and living like animals.

The Occupy movements are being coddled to and people cite First Amendment rights. Those rights end when the protesters violate the rights of others or break the law. The fact that people have rights does not mean that they do not have to follow rules. If the rules say they can’t camp in the parks then they can’t camp in the parks regardless of what an ACLU puppet judge claims.

This is evident in Baltimore Maryland. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is cowering to the Occupy crowd because she does not want to hurt their feelings or some such crap. These cretins are occupying an area that has been permitted for an event since long before Occupy [whatever] started.

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network applied to use McKeldin Square and received a permit long before the Occupy insanity started. This group did the right thing and applied for a permit. Now it has decided to move its event because the Square is full of Occupy slugs that the city has not removed. Mayor Blake, make the Occupiers MOVE. Another group has a legal right and has been permitted by the City to use the Square so make the ILLEGAL Occupiers move.

The Occupiers claim they are willing to work with other groups on the use of the area. Excuse me? These pigs are in no position to bargain. They are in no position to decide on such things. They are in a place that someone else has a permit to use.

I bet if the TEA Party was the group Blake would have had them removed by now. Of course that is hypothetical since the TEA Party consists of people who obey the law, clean up after themselves and do not spread diseases around.

If I were Mayor of Baltimore I would have given the Occupiers a time to vacate and if they were not out by that time the police would remove them.

But since Baltimore and the other liberal bastions bow to those who are causing problems for the productive members of society it is time for the majority of the 99% to act accordingly.

I recommend that people avoid places like Baltimore. There are plenty of other places to eat and plenty of other venues for entertainment. So there is no need to go to Baltimore or any other occupied place and spend money. Spend your money and spend your time in places where the elected officials respect the rule of law and do not bow down to the terrorists of the Occupy movement.

Let us make these areas feel the pain of their indifference. Let us make them pay for their inability to lead.
