I think black people and white people have reached an impasse. Every day I see the race war coming. Blacks will undoubtedly lose. But hopefully we'll go down in honor.

This multicultural experiment will not last another generation.

Liberals undoubtedly encourage it, whoever may be in office.

Liberalism by its nature strives to get away from order, towards chaos.

Any movement by the police to bring order to Baltimore is a movement towards order, Liberals oppose it.

Violence, destruction, all that is just the chaos that liberals are openly supporting.

Picking up this thread for a moment, Kevin Williamson at the National Review points out something significant: politically, Baltimore as a political entity is, indeed, Democrat. And has been for a generation.

Quote:A few weeks ago, there was an election in Ferguson, Mo., the result of which was to treble the number of African Americans on that unhappy suburb’s city council. This was greeted in some corners with optimism — now, at last, the city’s black residents would have a chance to see to securing their own interests. This optimism flies in the face of evidence near — St. Louis — and far — Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco . . .

St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since the 1940s, and in its most recent elections for the board of aldermen there was no Republican in the majority of the contests; the city is overwhelmingly Democratic, effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department.

Baltimore has seen two Republicans sit in the mayor’s office since the 1920s — and none since the 1960s. Like St. Louis, it is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department. Philadelphia has not elected a Republican mayor since 1948. The last Republican to be elected mayor of Detroit was congratulated on his victory by President Eisenhower. Atlanta, a city so corrupt that its public schools are organized as a criminal conspiracy against its children, last had a Republican mayor in the 19th century. Its municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, but the last Republican to run in Atlanta’s 13th congressional district did not manage to secure even 30 percent of the vote; Atlanta is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department.

Black urban communities face institutional failure across the board every day. American cities are by and large Democratic-party monopolies, monopolies generally dominated by the so-called progressive wing of the party. The results have been catastrophic, and not only in poor black cities such as Baltimore and Detroit. Money can paper over some of the defects of progressivism in rich, white cities such as Portland and San Francisco, but those are pretty awful places to be non-white and non-rich, too: Blacks make up barely 9 percent of the population in San Francisco, but they represent 40 percent of those arrested for murder, and they are arrested for drug offenses at ten times their share of the population. Criminals make their own choices, sure, but you want to take a look at the racial disparity in educational outcomes and tell me that those low-income nine-year-olds in Wisconsin just need to buck up and bootstrap it? Black urban communities face institutional failure across the board every day. There are people who should be made to answer for that: What has Martin O’Malley to say for himself? What can Ed Rendell say for himself other than that he secured a great deal of investment for the richest square mile in Philadelphia? What has Nancy Pelosi done about the radical racial divide in San Francisco?

Mychal Denzel Smith, toy radical at The Nation, offered the usual illiterate slogan “f**k the police” and declared of the rioters: “I also hope they break s**t.” Writers at Salon also endorsed violence for its own sake. “I do not advocate non-violence,” Benji Hart affirmed. Most of this can be credited to juvenile posturing, and it should be noted that the rioters in Baltimore mostly are not burning down tax offices or police stations but are in the main looting businesses and carrying out acts of wanton opportunistic vandalism — that’s not a revolt, but a crime spree.

Meretricious “black rage” rhetoric notwithstanding, what we have seen in places such as Ferguson and Baltimore is much more ordinarily criminal than political. But there is a legitimate concern here — from which no one seems to be willing to draw the obvious conclusion: There is someone to blame for what’s wrong in Baltimore.

Would any sentient adult American be shocked to learn that Baltimore has a corrupt and feckless police department enabled by a corrupt and feckless city government? I myself would not, and the local authorities’ dishonesty and stonewalling in the death of Freddie Gray is reminiscent of what we have seen in other cities. There’s a heap of evidence that the Baltimore police department is pretty bad. This did not come out of nowhere. While the progressives have been running the show in Baltimore, police commissioner Ed Norris was sent to prison on corruption charges (2004), two detectives were sentenced to 454 years in prison for dealing drugs (2005), an officer was dismissed after being videotaped verbally abusing a 14-year-old and then failing to file a report on his use of force against the same teenager (2011), an officer was been fired for sexually abusing a minor (2014), and the city paid a quarter-million-dollar settlement to a man police illegally arrested for the non-crime of recording them at work with his mobile phone. There’s a good deal more. Does that sound like a disciplined police organization to you?

No Republican, and certainly no conservative, has left so much as a thumbprint on the public institutions of Baltimore in a generation. Yes, Baltimore seems to have some police problems. But let us be clear about whose fecklessness and dishonesty we are talking about here: No Republican, and certainly no conservative, has left so much as a thumbprint on the public institutions of Baltimore in a generation. Baltimore’s police department is, like Detroit’s economy and Atlanta’s schools, the product of the progressive wing of the Democratic party enabled in no small part by black identity politics. This is entirely a left-wing project, and a Democratic-party project. When will the Left be held to account for the brutality in Baltimore — brutality for which it bears a measure of responsibility on both sides?

There aren’t any Republicans out there cheering on the looters, and there aren’t any Republicans exercising real political power over the police or other municipal institutions in Baltimore. Community-organizer — a wretched term — Adam Jackson declared that in Baltimore “the Democrats and the Republicans have both failed.” Really? Which Republicans? Ulysses S. Grant? Unless I’m reading the charts wrong, the Baltimore city council is 100 percent Democratic.

The other Democratic monopolies aren’t looking too hot, either. We’re sending Atlanta educators to prison for running a criminal conspiracy to hide the fact that they failed, and failed woefully, to educate the children of that city. Isolated incident? Nope: Atlanta has another cheating scandal across town at the police academy.

Who is being poorly served by the fact that Atlanta’s school system has been converted into crime syndicate? Mostly poor, mostly black families. Who is likely to suffer from any incompetents advanced through the Atlanta police department by its corrupt academy? Mostly poor, mostly black people. Who suffers most from the incompetence of Baltimore’s Democratic mayor? Mostly poor, mostly black families — should they feel better that she’s black? Who suffers most from the incompetence and corruption of Baltimore’s police department? Mostly poor, mostly black families. And it’s the same people who will suffer the most from the vandalism and pillaging going on in Baltimore, too. The evidence suggests very strongly that the left-wing, Democratic claques that run a great many American cities — particularly the poor and black cities — are not capable of running a school system or a police department. They are incompetent, they are corrupt, and they are breathtakingly arrogant. Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore — this is what Democrats do. And the kids in the street screaming about “inequality”?

Somebody should tell them that the locale in these United States with the least economic inequality is Utah, i.e. the state farthest away from the reach of the people who run Baltimore. Keep voting for the same thing, keep getting the same thing.

Orioles-White Sox game will be played Wednesday, closed to public

The Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox will play the finale of their three-game series Wednesday at Camden Yards in a game that will be closed to the public.

The revised plan was announced Tuesday after widespread public unrest in Baltimore forced a postponement of a White Sox-Orioles game for the second consecutive day.

The Orioles also announced that their three-game series this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays, which originally was scheduled to be played in Baltimore, instead will be played at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Baltimore's postponed games against the White Sox from Monday and Tuesday will be made up as a single-admission doubleheader on May 28.

No it hasn't. It was intended to be a Psy-Op. Baseball has always had a lax schedule and it is very easy to reschedule games. It isn't like this was a awkward AL vs NL match up, the White Sox will be in Baltimore 3-4 times this year with opportunities to okay double headers to make up this missed days. They wanted the optics of it. I have no idea why but other reasons had to of been st play. Likely the City and State pressured the Orioles to play. The team had to of been compensated monetarily as you don't make money in a empty stadium, somebody paid the team for loss revenues to play that game today.

Baseball games are Extremely difficult to reschedule. Both teams need a common off-day and no obscure travel plans the day before or after that common off-day. If I counted right, they share 6 days off, and are using 1 of them to squeeze a double-header in this May. This was Chicago's only trip to Baltimore this year, so it was essential to get at least 1 game in during this series. No team wants to play make-up games come August and September when rest-days are paramount for teams hoping to make the postseason.

They could've (and I think should've) played in the Orioles AA affiliate's stadium in Bowie, but at the same time it is kind of cool that we got to experience something in baseball that has not been seen since like 1882.

Some new developments:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crim...?tid=sm_tw

Quote: BALTIMORE — A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to a police document obtained by The Washington Post.

The prisoner, who is currently in jail, was separated from Gray by a metal partition and could not see him. His statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. The Post was given the document under the condition that the prisoner not be named because the person who provided it feared for the inmate’s safety.

BCPD has paid out tens of millions in wrongful death/injury settlements through the years. Citizens know this and know how to work the system. If the article is true, my best guess is Freddie was aiming for a head or back injury so he could claim a settlement.

Having done time in Baltimore, it's amazing these riots didn't happen sooner. The ghettos in the city are wider and deeper than anything you've ever seen in America.

There was also a tinderbox waiting to explode with community/police relations. While I don't agree that burning your city and assaulting innocent people does anything positive, former Mayor O'Malley (who enacted a lot of good policies otherwise) went too far with zero-tolerance policing in the mid 2000s. BCPD began arresting not only minor drug dealers and loiters but people who just looked at cops the wrong way. Combine this with blacks' astronomical crime rates and other social pathologies, and it makes a bad situation worse.

In conclusion, I'm glad I'm out of that fucking city.

Just a quick note to people who live in the Baltimore region.

The criminal element in adjacent counties knows the local cops are being called into Baltimore City. As such, they're using this opportunity to commit petty thefts.

How do I know? Because I caught two women trying to steal my screen door in broad daylight Wednesday. (It's the slide-off kind that's easily removed.)

I live in a condo development in one of the nicer regions of a nearby county and this doesn't much go on here. They had apparently driven their SUV up and were stealing things.

I made a joke about this earlier in the thread. Not so funny now.

I scared the shit out of them when my face suddenly appeared in the door window and barked: "Who are you and what are you doing?" One of them said "It had fallen off and we were putting it back." Yeah, right. I wish I'd gotten their license plate number before they scurried off and drove away. At least I got to keep my screen door.

Bitches.

The only people I know who have ever acted this way were some old friends that became meth addicts. These people probably were not meth addicts as they were making some logical strategies for crime: police away, crime is safer in that area now.

WTF is going on with these people.

As much as I hate the police I'm started to think what we need is MORE police violence and chain gangs breaking apart rocks. If those criminals don't break the rocks they get shot for "running away". I can't think of any non-methed out person I've ever talked to that decided rioting and looting was a good idea.

DOBA:
Aren't there a lot of Section 8 people in some of those nicer areas of Howard County, especially in townhouse/condo areas? I know most of Howard County isn't high crime areas, but I think that Section 8 already increases it a little bit.

Bad news in that there are now reports Gray injured himself on purpose in the police van. If this is proven to be true, then the police will not be indicted, and the anger will over flow from those being lied to by the race hustlers.

Jesus Imagine if that WaPo article is true?

Police say he was arrested without incident. He banged his head in the van or something to the point he died.

With all these national outrages it seems you should really withold judgement cause the media has the tendency to fit everything into their narrative without knowing all the facts.

I was confused why I had never read an account of how Grey suffered his injuries, I just filled in the blanks in my head and assumed while he was being arrested there was a physical confrontation and a bunch of cops manhandled him to the point of breaking his spine.
