O's offer vouchers to Saturday's ticket buyers - Monday AND Tuesday Games PPD

That's because they were undermanned, or outnumbered, and held back by the Mayor. My Cat could do a better job than the morons running Baltimore and the State of Maryland.

The Governor for some reason was require to wait for the Mayor to request aid. Which was delayed for 5 hours.

We have to be very careful, we are treading on thin water here.

Let's keep this thing from going political and locking up the tread.

a 2 year child was reported killed yesterday during the riot.

I had not heard that. Sad news.

I'm not being political. If there is a crisis you act decisively and quickly. They did neither. How they keep their jobs is a mystery to me.

Me neither, but they reported it on the radio this morning on my drive into work.

Pretty tough to stop an angry mob. The cops didn't stop them what do you want the people to do?

I don't expect them to stop them. I was responding to the poster I quoted.

On the bright side.

1. No on appears to have been killed.

2. Gun sales sould be booming today.

Very quite downtown. Saw a couple of National Guard on Conway Street. The area around the harbor looks fine.Go up or down a few blocks and a whole different story. Kind of eerie.

My grandfather owned a small drug store in downtown Akron, Ohio that was looted and burned in the riots that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King. He was 62 years old at the time and had owned that store for 20-30 years. He decided to collect his insurance money, call it a day and go work for a chain drug store close to his home in the suburbs. To say he was bitter about losing the business he had worked so hard to build is an understatement. It took him ten years or more to come to terms with it emotionally and make peace with what had happened. Yesterday unfortunately will have a similar impact on many small businesses and the folks who live nearby will be hurt by the consequences as well. It's a shame.

Almost 9 am. We will hopefully know soon what is going on with the game.

So sad, and through the years, from MLK, to Kent State, Roddy King and many others, way too many riots.

I have no problems with peaceful demonstrations, but there should be no tolerance for yesterday's events in a civilized society.

My son is in the US Army, and like many others that have already served including our own Tony-OH, doing their part, to keep our county safe from Terrorists and other countries, yet, we run around and do things like this.

It would be helpful if we actually had a definition of what "political" is, since it seems to be the thing that we aren't allowed to discuss even though it's everywhere.

But cats are notoriously heavy handed.

One guy on the news was critiquing the police.He said why do they line up all in a row.This is not the Redcoats. Also he said the police chief said they were outflanked. He said I did not know we were fighting the Revolutionary War. Waiting for the muskets.

This, for example, is entirely a political statement. Saying that peaceful demonstrations are fine while violence is not is a political statement. Yet I know if I respond to this, I will be called out for being "political."
