How does this take “weeks” to figure out. I’ve watched there idiot emergency director read the new and do almost nothing for years. Then you have have 911 operators making T-shirts with a Martha Stewart ironing board and “app” to sell. LOL if only you knew what went on in emergency service it’s damn near a free paycheck

Looting will begin this weekend.
The reasoning ("excuse") by the looters will be that no paychecks are coming in and they need to feed the family.
The middle-class version of looting has already started, and that is in the form of clearing the store shelves for necessary items, and paying for them.
Lower class looting is no different, except that they don't pay.
As sure as the sun is coming up tomorrow, Baltimore will be in anarchy by Sunday morning.

Paying for them is not looting.
The low class people have been voting for free stuff from the government for years. No lets see what happens when the government stops providing the free stuff due to a crisis.
B.T.W. I've stocked up on popcorn.

Humorous your blissful ignorance is yes, yes. YOU happen to be a part of the group you're so willingly fast to insult. You read an article, feel empowered by what you think you've learned from the article, then come on a blog and call people morons for being just as actively inactive as yourself yet fail to recognize your own shortcomings. Brilliant!! Im not sure what genius looks like but this has got took be close.
