Martin O'Malley Cancels Paid Speeches as Baltimore Hit by Rioting

Martin O'Malley, who formerly served as mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland, has canceled a series of overseas paid speeches in light of the rioting in the city, Politico reports.

"I’m saddened that the city I love is in such pain this night," O’Malley said in a prepared statement. "All of us share a profound feeling of grief for Freddie Gray and his family. We must come together as one city to transform this moment of loss and pain into a safer and more just future for all of Baltimore’s people."

Gray died in police custody nine days ago, sparking days of protests that culminated in rioting and looting following Gray's funeral on Monday.

Maybe Marty's realizing it's mostly his fault!

With O'Malley and Sharpton there more riots will surely occur.
