CBS broadcasted it no fox, you choose to back her words just like the good little left wing soldier you are
I only watch right wing news, and when it doesn't pass the sniff test (like a mayor wanting her own city to burn) I look for other resources. Through investigation on my own I find the truth somewhere in the middle.
Exactly. So why not do the right thing, rather than sit back and do nothing. I can't tell if it was him being a weak leader, and being PC as Southbel is advocating for, of if he's playing politics, allowing things to go horribly wrong, just to gain political points. (Page one of the republican playbook). Hard to tell.
or perhaps he didn't want to inflame the situation. How can you access the Governor's decision? Who can know if the criminals who perpetuated this looting and violence wouldn't have been further destructive and violent had he chosen the former instead of the latter. We do know the mayor misjudged her city's citizens and the situation enormously.

Well did you find the source..the CBS video ?
CBS Baltimore has the story with the video right there.
I posted the link.
She has been caught in a blatant lie, and she says, "It is very unfortunate that members of your industry decided to miss-characterize my words, and try to use it as a way to say that we are inciting violence.
....
This woman should resign from office immediately. To allow people to destroy property, and then lie about what she said, is unforgivable.
I wonder if she needs surgery on her tongue, with all the twisting of her words she has done
Even of recent, she invites Al Sharpton, which is a little confusing because he previously stated on his show, that there was no reason for him to go there, since the officials there were handling the freddie gray case.
Now, with this invitation, talk about wanting to stir the pot.
The mayor's decisions and failure to act resulted in destruction of property; loss of livelihoods, jobs, senior living housing; injury of private citizens and police officers. Not to mention a black eye on the reputation of the city of Baltimore.
I've heard that too, but I can't tell if it's true. I googled it, and can't find any evidence.
Are you believing the news (or whoever told you), or do you somehow know this to be true? I've said I will admit I am wrong, and the Gov's hands were tied, if someone (anyone) can show me.
The governor himself avoided the question and said it was his decision to "respect the mayor". Sooner or later, someone has to be responsible.
I'm honestly asking. Can anyone substantiate that this is "the law"? I think it's a fair question.
I was rip roaring angry on here, in this very forum, about that, complaining, almost swearing about how those people needed help....I was livid, and someone came in and said, that Bush by law, couldn't go in, that he had to have the ok from the mayor and then the gov, before moving, which made me even angrier...
I remember the whole thing, b/c I had friends in there....
what American's do not understand, is....that what happened with these riots, could very well come to their town....if there is any kind of problem such as Katrina, b/c human beings become like animals....not all, of course, but watching these people destroy police property, boils my blood, and I feel no sympathy what-so-ever....so now, suppose their is a bad cop out there that is wrong, in his behavior...and corrupt....whose going to believe that after this riot? Huh?
These people made it worse for themselves.....and after seeing what I've seen, cops have every right to protect themselves, shoot and ask questions later...they are not paid enough to put up with these animals....
So, sorry I got off track here....but maybe someone else can answer your question, but I've been under the impression since Katrina, that the mayor has to ask the governor and then he has to ask for the National Guard to come in? Does anyone out there know the answer to this?
i cringe at defending Stephanie, but i agree with you here.
the (bolded) word you just used would have eliminated all confusion.
“It’s a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they protestors were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also unfortunately gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well,”
The cars? Would those be the cars of people who go about their every day business - going to work, going home, picking up children from school, coming home from the doctor, went shopping? The cars were a danger to those hoodlums? And what "other things" were going on before the riot?
Was she thinking about the people who lived in the community, businesses destroyed, cars destroyed, homes vandalized from the outside, when she gave the mob a free pass?? The majority of the rioters did not even live in the community.
Its not that hard. The kid is wearing a book bag just got out of school listen to her words in the video and you can tell that is his mother. You really think he would let anyone else hit him like that was not his mom? None of my siblings or neighbors would dare do that.
I would feel better if the welfare programs that I pay for, that allow them to buy more expensive clothes and accessories than I have stopped.
So, you shop cheap, and it would make you feel better to see other people wear something even cheaper? Why don't you buy a pair of nice jeans so you wouldn't have to beat yourself up?
