"No one gets to be a winner," said Daraius Irani, chief economist at the Regional Economic Studies Institute at Towson University. "There are these negative perceptions that are very hard to shake."
Irani has heard more media references to "The Wire," Baltimore's homicide rate and the city's 1968 riots in the hours since violence broke out Monday, he said. That can build a widespread negative perception undermining investment in the city as homebuyers, businesses, conventions and tourists reconsider buying into the area for fear of violence and disruption.

You kiddin? There were thousands of people looting. Only dozens were arrested. That means at least hundreds of people got to steal without consequence. Youve got to make it hurt if you want change.

there were over two hundred arrests and they released over a hundred because of the paperwork load. I don't know where you got that thousands where looting. maybe it's true, maybe it's not, but there were over 10 thousand who were protesting peacefully for days and the media ignored them.
most of you are being played by authorities and the media and don't even know it....or care. as long as you can get your hate on you're happy

ReplyDeleteBloggerhater1, you apparently learned nothing from the great Dr. King. Real change came from what he did, not what Stokley Charmichael did to Cambridge.
