#1 Whiff of grapeshot will clear this right up.

#2 Watching the mayor of Baltimore speak during last evenings press conference didn't exactly inspire a great deal of confidence. Those who spoke alongside her were even less inspiring.

#3 Watched coverage on Breibart.

Saw the Govenor spout the usual leftist rubbish, along the lines of 'This is happening because we haven't provided enough jobs and government services'.

#4 ...can't provide much in the way of jobs when 10 million (and growing) low skill illegals pour across the border [in care of Donk policies]. Their votes count more than your votes, suckers. If you didn't notice, google ethnic cleansing Compton.

#5 Not enough jobs hell. They just don't want a job that they think is below them. I went from working on million + homes to detailing cars, so if you want one you can find it.

#6 They don't want jobs, they want anarchy.

#7 Why work, when you can loot?

#8 ...cause it takes the (middle man) politician out of the process of redistribution? Think of the job loss there.

#9 The problem with that kind of redistribution is that nothing is left when they are done deciding who gets what. And no electricity to run whatever got redistributed.

#10 ...or (gasp) toilet paper!

#11 Funny how the governor gave them a little room to vent and they escallated. Perhaps she doesn't really understand her constituants at all.

There should be a law about crossing state lines to join a riot. It is one thing for locals to riot and burn their own crap but very much another for others to join in and escallate the problem. I'd like to see some serious jail time for the border-crossing rioters.

#12 Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has complete failed by every measure. Like Mayor Nagin and Mayor Marion Barry she'll probably have a long political career ahead of her because of the color of her skin rather than the content of her character.

#13 Her "character" is obviously content-less, rj.
