| Democrat-Run Baltimore is a 'Gangsters Paradise' |
| 2015-05-02 |
| [American Thinker] Democrats in riot-torn Baltimore really like gangsters. And this makes Baltimore different from Atlanta or Chicago how ? Chicago has more entertaining aldermen... As radicals and other criminals reduce their once-great city to ashes, left-wing politicians are defining deviancy down. They just can't stop saying nice things about gangsters and when they occasionally slip up and say accurate things about them, they promptly apologize for speaking the truth. That's the way Democrats in Baltimore roll. As the rule of law is dynamited, they genuflect before them, salute them, and pose for photographs with them. Gangsters have become the de facto government in the city of Baltimore. Rioting has empowered them. The current civil unrest was sparked by the mysterious death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man. Gray, a habitual criminal offender, was arrested by Baltimore police for possession of a switchblade, according to a late-breaking news report. While in police custody he apparently suffered severe injuries that led to his death. Unlike the endlessly hyped demise of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., police malfeasance or negligence may have played a role in Gray's death. Time will tell. At a surreal press conference Tuesday, career criminals that Baltimore Democrats consider to be upstanding members of the community stood side by side with elected officials to plead for an end to the violence. In a 2015 update of Rodney King's famous 1992 quotation, "Can we all get along?" a self-identified gang member named "Trey" said they were "against the violence." |

| #6 Following the example of their fellow criminals at the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, perhaps it's time for the Bloods to become a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. They could hire former IRS official Lois Lerner, who shares their worldview, as an advisor. Ouch! That would hurt if anyone had a conscience. |

| #5 No, they knew the bargain they were making. But free stuff and revenge are more valuable to some people than self-respect. |

| #4 P2k, they didn't sell their souls knowingly. They were co-opted by slick sales and malice aforethought. Yes, they were sold a bill of goods by the "elites" (which includes the Sharptons of the world) and were not capable of understanding the consequences of the fine print. Should they have known better? Probably, but that raises a whole slew of other issues. I'm old enough to remember LBJ and all that "stuff" and saw what it developed into and it started long before that. |

| #3 Not quite sympathetic. They sold their souls for a price. Free stuff! They buy into lies that are demonstratively false. They reject the concepts of free will and its inherit responsibility. It's always the 'other' who is to blame cause its so easy rather than self control and reform. It's a cul-de-sac of history. |

| #2 The problem I have with all this is that I can sympathize to a degree with the black community. That degree is the one which really dynamited the rule of law. The cronies and crooked pols and corporatists and fat-cats and mob that turned the legal system into their own private thug patrol, and, yes, that does go back a long, long way. The problem just kept getting worse as the "laws" kept getting more and more encompassing giving the thug patrol more and more scope for their operations as decreed by their masters. Really, selling "loosies", gets you in trouble? It's not really a racial issue at all nor a class one except for the fact that $#it flows downhill so that those on the lower rungs get the most especially when they live in close proximity (aka cities) to the center of control. |
