While the blame for mass murderers are taking place in the social public square...

After Trump’s tweets, conservative activist leads neighborhood clean-up in West Baltimore

Many a morning, 58-year-old Millie Jefferson finds herself outside her home in West Baltimore, sweeping her front steps and picking up trash on her block. Monday, she had some unexpected visitors.

Dozens of volunteers gathered near her home on North Fulton Avenue and started bagging garbage and weeding, too. They were inspired by Scott Presler, a Republican activist from Northern Virginia who started a social media campaign to help clean up Baltimore’s 7th district in the wake of President Donald Trump’s tweets about it last weekend.

...
Presler is a “gays for Trump” activist who has been linked to the anti-Muslim group ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center lists as a hate group. Presler worked there from February 2017 to 2018, his Facebook page says.

Although there were a few Make America Great Again hats in the crowd, Presler said the focus on Monday was simply to Make Baltimore Clean Again.

“This is not a Trump rally, this is not anti-Representative Cummings at all, this is just simply Americans Helping Americans,” he said. “And that’s it.”


About 300 volunteers took part in the cleanup.

Donald Trump has drawn more attention to Baltimore and gotten more done in the last few weeks than that old curmudgeon Cummings ever did in his worthless lazy life.

Yep. I follow that dude on Twitter. He's been tweeting about the organization of this. He is one of those who doesn't just talk and whine, he's the type who takes action. This is not the first time he's stood up and delivered.

It's going to take a lot more than one afternoon of pulling weeds. But a nice gesture nonetheless.

Why dont the low-lifes that made the mess have to clean it up? Or is that inappropriate?

I agree that it's a good thing.

I'd like to assume there's no ulterior motives but I won't believe that until one of the volunteers buys a house in west Baltimore

LOL. I wouldn't buy a house in South Baltimore, and that's the nice part of town. As it is I'm sure I'm going to get hosed if I ever find someone dumb enough to buy the Baltimore rowhouse I live in now. Everyone is moving out.
