After a rough start the last couple of days have been relatively quiet in Baltimore……and as usual someone has got to be blamed for the violence and the destruction…….the sad part is that the people and events that take the heat are seldom the cause……but they continue to play politics with a social problem…….
And as you would expect the GOP has its bad guys…….
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has officially thrown his hat into the 2016 ring, told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday that “I came through the train on Baltimore last night, I’m glad the train didn’t stop.” He also said the “lack of fathers” and a “lack of moral code in our society” should eventually be examined for the “thievery and thuggery” that has taken place in Maryland’s largest city. The GOPer added “this isn’t just a racial thing. It goes across racial boundaries.”
Paul’s excuse sounds more like a political campaign than an honest evaluation…….but he isd not alone with moronic overtones……..there will ALWAYS be Donald Trump……..
What would a crisis be without the mind numbing lip flapping of The Donald?
“Our great African American president hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!” Trump tweeted on Tuesday, resulting in a backlash on Twitter with many accusing the billionaire businessman of being racist.
Trump called on Obama to “go to Baltimore and bring both sides together. With proper leadership, it can be done! Do it.” Trump also criticized the Baltimore police for allowing “the city to be destroyed,” and asked if U.S. taxpayers were expected to pay for the damage.
It’s Obama’s fault…….that tired old accusation……..
The media has gone so far as to make the story about the victim not about the circumstances of his death…..plus the media keeps counting down the hours and minutes to curfew with the hope that something set the crowds off……
Sad part is that NO one wants to talk about the real reasons for all this violence……..and because of this there will be more…..and more……
Without ever really having a clue about things the status quo always spits out the same causes for everything they don’t like.
Here’s a good read on the Baltimore riots that doesn’t paint a rosy picture but has more meat to it than the white wash crap people like Rand Paul and others in the GOP parade out for public consumption

Thanx for the link……the media is doing all it can to keep the public focused on stuff other than the true circumstances of the victim’s death……this speculation is doing nothing to further the investigation…..chuq
Maybe it’s not as simple as we all want to think it is because we don’t have all of the information and people are complicated which complicates a 90 second clip in between mainstream “infotainment” sets. Just a thought.
That is exactly right….we are getting the story the MSM wants us to care about….not necessarily the whole story…..
