Patti, I am so sorry to see this turmoil in your town. It’s downright scary because these lowlifes making the trouble could are less about justice; just an excuse to destroy property and rob good citizens.
I live about 3 miles from Harborplace (Camden Yards), and rioters have been in my neighborhood, looting in Fells Point, as well as many surrounding areas. Last night my 23 year old grandson, who is staying with me for now, practically barricaded me inside my house and, God bless him, kept watch practically all night long. It has been extremely difficult to even watch everything on TV, let alone realize what’s going on all around us. Our beautiful Charm City has been defiled in ways from which we possibly may NEVER be able to recover. Today we have State of Emergency tactics in place, curfews in place, as well as additional police protection from our neighboring counties, plus the National Guard is in place today with more violence expected tonight. If control cannot be gained, I suppose the next step is Marshall Law, which means Baltimore’s attempts to regain control will be taken over by the military. God help us!!! Please say a prayer for us, my dear Salem family!!! Thank you, casey, for your concern.
while I was watching the news. Keep safe, please! What a terrible thing to have happen to your hometown. Casey is right, the people causing all this trouble are not as interested in justice as they are in looking for an excuse for criminal activity.
Patti. Be safe and take care of yourself, there are some very crazy people out there, sending good thoughts and Prayers your way. I am also glad that you have your grandson there to help you.
Don’t worry, Baltimore will survive this, the city came back from all the other riots, especially in 1968 where over 1,000 buildings burned, so if the law abiding citizens, the police and troops will not have their hands tied to be able to stop the looters, thugs, rioters, and outside agitators, your city should come back shining and a good city again.
that human beans can act this way. And that’s exactly what they are…beans.
Stay safe Patti and we all pray this will be over soon.

the Orioles playing a game today without fans? How bizarre is that!
Sounds like it was quieter last night thank God.
Hey, did anyone see the video of the mom laying into her son for joining in the riots? You go Mom! Such a pleasure to see a parent not covering for their little prince’s bad behavior.it’s just a shame that our O’s had to make MLB ‘history’ in this way. From what I understand, it’s the first time that has ever been done. Yes, things were much more calm last night, and there were only 10 arrests for violating the curfew. I have to applaud the police on how they slowly and methodically dispensed the crowd, even while being pelted with first plastic water bottles, and then with glass bottles and rocks. Thank goodness, my neighborhood was quiet as well, and we were all extremely grateful for it. Of course, last night was the first night the curfew went into effect, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that by the time the full week is up, the acts of violence and protesting will end, but we are somewhat concerned that when that time comes and the National Guard, along with the many law enforcement officers from all the various counties and other states, have left Baltimore, that it will not start up again. The mother who reacted to her son’s participation has become an overnight ‘star’ for her actions, and I have to give her son credit as well for showing his respect for his mother and not lashing out at her while the young man was being humiliated on national TV.
