This is like a never ending song with a repeating chorus. It was not long ago the entire Baltimore jail system had to be torn apart and restructured after it was discovered that corrections officers were part of the gang trade, smuggling drugs to prisoners, allowing prisoners to leave jail on weekends, having sex with prisoners and several female officers were pregnant.
Now video discovers Baltimore corrections officers participating in the looting and riots…

Do you know why they’re smiling?  Think about where they’re headed !

(Via Daily Caller) Two correctional officers who work at the Baltimore City jail were suspended without pay Wednesday after video emerged showing them looting a 7-11 store during last month’s riots. (more…)

Before the Baltimore riots hit the national news a less publicized beating of a Dundalk Maryland resident surfaced. We initially wrote about it HERE.

Richard Fletcher was brutally beaten by a group of Baltimore High School students after he asked them not to fight around his truck. Approximately 25 to 30 black “teens” brutally attacked Fletcher knocking him unconscious. They continued to kick him, stomp on his head and robbed him after he was unable to defend himself.
Many of the students filmed the beating and posted it on their social media, but the police told a nearby business owner NOT to share the CCTV footage because of concerns the public would be outraged by the video.
As the Baltimore Sun reported last night, five of the attackers were identified after an anonymous person slid video of the attack under a teachers door at the school. (more…)

You can find below the complete 27 page investigative report on the shooting of Tony Robinson – including numerous eye-witnesses to the events up to and including the shooting. You should read the witness statements, it removes any doubt about whether Tony Robinson was in a “normal” frame of mind.
The details remove all doubt about justification.  It’s not even a close call.
However, what you might find additionally interesting is the complete local, state and federal (yes, DOJ involved too) was completed in March, and the full investigative report turned over to the State Attorney on March 27th. Why did the State Attorney wait until mid-May (almost two months) to announce a decision?

“Budget Cuttin’ Violence“…

Hank “Tippy Guam” Johnson – During an interview last week on WABE radio’s “A Closer Look” program Johnson said he voted against the GOP budget measure because of its domestic spending cuts and added that its passage could result in violence.

“If we’re not careful the have-nots of this country will rise up like the people in Baltimore,” Johnson said.

“What happened in Baltimore stems from deeper economic issues and if you would take a ride down the streets of some of the greatly impoverished areas of Baltimore where change has not come, where things are the same as they were 50 years ago and have been allowed to grow worse then you will understand the lack of hope of which those riots were born from.” (more…)

Marilyn Mosby took it upon herself (May 1st) to file Direct Action charges against the Baltimore Six and issue arrest warrants.  As such she has 30 days to bring a formal indictment outlining the specific evidence, which supports the charges against each of the officers.

BALTIMORE – Defense attorneys for the officers charged in the Freddie Gray case anticipate their clients will be indicted by a grand jury in the next two weeks.
The attorneys have asked that a stenographer be appointed to transcribe the grand jury proceedings or that an audio tape recording be made. They claim misinformation was included in the original charging documents, underscoring the need to know what prosecutors tell grand jurors. (more…)

Grande Lum’s team of CRS “peacekeepers” have been on the ground in Madison Wisconsin for weeks preparing the community to hear that no charges will be filed against police officer Matt Kenny who shot 19-year-old street thug Tony Robinson. (Backstory)
As shared by an eye witness:

…This so called “gentle giant” was high on suspected hallucinagenics, and in a violent, volitile rage, walking down the streets of madison battering citizens, whom were frantically calling 911 for police assistance.
This out of control, violent man, high on acid hallucinagenic drugs, which not only gave him super human strength but made him impervious to pain, then battered a peace officer. Yes a peace officer who’s job that night was to protect the citizens screaming for help, and to protect the community from further harm from this man.
Again a man who made the choice to consume quantities of drugs, that made him a mad man, who was on a mission to critically harm others in his path”… (link)

The police scanner and other witness testimony confirms this account. We previously wrote about it HERE.
Using a CRS organized group called “Black Leadership Council” whose member organizations include: the Dane County NAACP, the African American Council of Churches, black Greek organizations, the Urban League and 100 Black Men of Madison, Lum’s Community Relations Service has been busy trying to aide District Attorney Ismael Ozanne in making the announcement. (more…)

Of course most of those arrested were from husband Nick Mosby’s council district; but, meh, who’s paying attention to those pesky details.

[…]  The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office tells WJZ prosecutors are dropping all charges against individuals arrested solely for curfew violations. They say those arrests were punishment enough. (link)

Some things just scream out to be highlighted.  After giving the Baltimore thugs and rioters the space they needed to destroy….

“We also gave those who wished to destroy, space to do that as well”

… today Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake thanks the U.S. Small Business Association for approving her “destroy space” as a Small Business Disaster Area:

Thanks to U.S. SBA for moving quickly to approve our disaster declaration request. Will provide critical help to businesses & homeowners

Classic Media Obfuscation – You won’t see it reported in the msm, but the Newark Knights are a black bike club. Considering the approach of Black Bike Week in South Carolina (Myrtle Beach, Memorial Day Weekend), this is unmistakably a precursor for what is to come.
New Jersey – A teenager has reportedly been killed and three others have been gunned down during a Mother’s Day motorcycle event.
The boy, who is said to be 16, was reportedly hit in the head by shots fired in the air while attending the Mother’s Day Bike Blessing in Newark, New Jersey.
Witnesses on social media described how EMTs gave the victim CPR in front of the horrified crowd. Some people were recording motorcyclists recording wheelies when they heard the shots go off.  According to NJ.com homicide detectives are at the scene while police have closed off surrounding blocks.
The other victims were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.  No details on the shooters and the motive are known. It is the 29th homicide in Newark this year. (read more)
