Question: How many is a “handful”?
Today President Obama addressed the state of emergency in Baltimore Maryland, calling the violent reactions “counter-productive.”
As Baltimore Burns the media begins the blame game. Last night pressing the Maryland Governor on why it took so long for the Maryland National Guard to be activated Governor Larry Hogan cuts right to the chase: “Within 30 seconds of receiving the call, I activated the National Guard”.
The delay stems from Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake refusing to ask for assistance, and refusing to return phone calls from the Governors office. Start watching the video at 09:00 to see delivery:
There’s a really weird bit of discussion beginning in the media about the Baltimore Riots being pre-planned and organized. It’s almost as if they are trying to create the appearance of some weird kind of conspiracy theory.

Apparently many people were shocked by the riots; as if unexpected or something.
To believe it was a spontaneous uprising is actually silly. There was a plan put in place on social media on Sunday. However, it’s not some grand conspiracy – just a common social media plan shared quickly and executed as scheduled.
Here’s the meme which began it: (more…)

White Homeowners around the Baltimore community are now subject to home invasions by mobs of blacks seeking reparations.
8:15pm Looting continues throughout Baltimore neighborhoods. In an effort to protect their businesses from looting the community is putting up signs to notify the intended looters of which businesses are white and which are black owned. Apparently this is to direct the rioting mob toward targeting only the non-blacks.


15 Police officers now wounded – two remain hospitalized. (more…)
Baltimore police are warning that there is a “credible threat” to “take-out” law enforcement officers, according to a press release from the Baltimore Police Department. The Black Guerilla Family is the same group who put out the call to assassinate police in New York City resulting in the death of NYPD officer Rafael Ramos and Officer Wenjian Liu.

The Black Guerilla Family group, formed in the 1960s in the California prison system, recently surfaced on the East Coast and Maryland, where members are at the heart of a drug-trafficking and corruption probe within the Baltimore prison system. (more…)
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings said she and her administration intentionally gave the violent protesters “space” to “destroy”, riot, loot, cause mayhem and attack people. The Mayor simultaneously said the violence was from outsiders; however, a review of last nights arrest records finds 31 out of 35 arrests were local Baltimore residents.

BALTIMORE – Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and a coalition of two dozen interdenominational leaders issued a “call for peace” Sunday after 35 people were arrested and six police officers were injured in protests over the death of Freddie Gray..
The Police Department in the afternoon released a list of the names of the 31 adults arrested, omitting those of the five juveniles.
Despite police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts’ insistence that a minority of out-of-town instigators caused the violence, online court records Sunday showed that only three of those arrested during Saturday’s protests were from outside Maryland.
