Pastor of Empowerment Temple Jamal Bryant shut down the major arteries into Baltimore city during morning traffic on Tuesday as a form of "civil disobedience," he stated on Maryland's News Now with Bryan Nehman.
Bryant and a few others walked along MLK and Washington Blvd to protest the governor's decision to fund the construction of a $30 million youth jail instead of funding Baltimore city public schools.
"Civil disobedience is always an inconvenience," he says. "It never comes without a challenge."
His target with these protests is Governor Hogan. Earlier this month, the Board of Public Works, which is chaired by the governor, approved the funding to build the 60-bed, $30 million juvenile detention center in Baltimore. At the same time, the governor refused to spend $68 million that lawmakers had set aside to fund Baltimore City and 12 other school systems.

Once again the media doesn't report the whole story. This jail had been planned for quite some time and the reason they are building this jail is that Baltimore is currently in federal violation for not having separate juvenile and adult facilities.
ReplyDeleteThugs must have a home.
ReplyDeleteMaybe instead of complaining about building a juvenile jail, the pastor should work with his congregation to keep them out of trouble. Nah, makes too much sense!
ReplyDeleteBaltimore schools are already among the most highly-funded in America.
ReplyDeleteWhat would more money accomplish?
Please be specific.
This is part of the old guard. He is a carbon copy of Al Sharpton.
ReplyDeleteBlocking my way on a federal funded highway is not civil disobedience, it's against the law. We should start running over these criminals and they will stop this crap.
ReplyDeleteThis Bryant trash is your typical black "pastor." Illegitimate kids running around and he's not in their lives.
ReplyDeleteOf course he won't tell the whole story. He's a black "pastor" and lying is all they know how to do.
Arrest him and anyone else denying me my civil right to travel on public roads to and where I please.
ReplyDeleteThis crap (blocking the roads) scares me to death, because I know that if these people try to block the roads when my husband is trying to get me to the hospital to deliver our child, it won't be pretty. My pregnancy is massively high-risk, and he will NOT allow this crap to compromise my life or the life of our child...
ReplyDeleteSo if you are on that highway doing 30 mph they can give you a ticket for impeding the flow of traffic. If you are protesting and impeding the flow that seems to be ok. Start locking these fools up that want to prevent people from getting to work. Set up tent jails like Sheriff Joe has done. A few days in the hot weather sleeping in a tent will make them think twice about their actions.
ReplyDeleteOK then just put the thugs juvies with the adult moron.
ReplyDeleteRun them down, it will stop this crap. You can get away with it too, the law says pedestrians have to use cross walks, and also, no pedestrians are allowed on freeways. If we killed a few, this would stop. Remember the Maryland cop that got run down for their stupid jumping out in front of moving cars to stop them for speeding? This actually sounds like fun, "Wac a Protester" game.
ReplyDeleteOH...I have a headache. Such ignorance!! This jerk is just another media whore.
ReplyDeleteStupid black "pastor" better think twice about blocking WORKING PEOPLE getting to and from their jobs, so they can earn enough money to support lazy black stupid people. Worthless.
ReplyDeleteThe police should escort them off of the highway and into a waiting police bus. They can sit on the bus for a few hours waiting for everyone to get processed and put in a jail cell. Maybe if they make things uncomfortable for people that break the law they will stop this nonsense!
ReplyDeleteAnd tow their cars straight to impound, let them pay for a tow and storage fees. They'll think twice next time!
DeleteFrom what I read elsewhere, the bastards are stopping their cars right on the ramps and onto the freeways, so nobody can just push through.
ReplyDeleteThen they get out of their cars and scream and threaten the (whites) in their stopped cars. One would think that would be illegal and worth locking them up for.
i may be sitting in jail tuesday night,as i have a doctors apointment at university hospital color [RACE} doesnt matter if you block my way you will be pushed out of the way a proud and patriotic vietnam vet God bless America
ReplyDeleteI would set thier car on fire and jump up and down on the hood. Then I would set the drug store on fire. Then I would stab the hose. Oh wait that is what they do. Sorry I wouls set the tyhe fire
