#FreddieGray: Baltimore Burns While Media Enjoy White House Correspondents Dinner

On Saturday night in Washington DC, the media types were swooning over First Lady Michelle Obama’s hair style and sparkly dress.

They were yukking it up over the President’s attempt at slightly raunchy humor.

Some were even busy texting (er,”taking notes”) during the playing of the National Anthem.


Meanwhile, Baltimore was erupting in violence after an afternoon of protests over the death of Freddie Gray.

Freddie Gray was arrested by Baltimore police on April 12 and suffered a spinal injury at some point during his apprehension. He was hospitalized and died one week later.

Police Commissioner Anthony Batts, upon review of the case, stated in a news conference that Gray was not given proper medical care. A full report is expected in about 35-40 days after an investigation is completed.

While some 2000 people showed up for a peaceful 90-minute rally outside City Hall, others were bent on destruction.

A flag was pulled down with the intent of setting it alight.

Car windows, of course, were smashed.

The violence spilled over near Camden Yards where the Orioles were playing the Red Sox, and the stadium was locked down.

Baltimore Burning while the President and his lapdog media were enjoying themselves at “Nerd Prom” was not lost on social media.

While many inside Camden Yards were unhappy at being locked down, social media was capturing the action outside.

Meanwhile, 30 minutes away in Washington DC the elites were enjoying #NerdProm and ignoring the Burning of Baltimore. The major cable channels were silent.

Maybe President Hope and Change will learn about this tomorrow. Unless, of course, there’s an early tee time.

    I see that Obutface’s stooges don’t know the words to the anthem either, do thay?

  • Joe Miller says:

    I understand the demand for answers when someone is arrested and ends up with life-ending injuries while in police custody. I don’t understand the connection between those demands and looting or the random destruction of property. It seems to me that the same community leaders who organized the protests could have done more to tamp down the violence. Political leaders were available for phone calls from media outlets or press conferences, but they weren’t on the ground where they could have done some good. Do we have any real leaders left?

  • Penny says:

    No, Joe, we do not have all that many leaders in this country!! I can count potential leaders on the fingers of one hand.

    This is what you get when you elect a “community organizer” , the Communists call them Bolsheviks, and Sharpton & Jackson call them “reverends”, for president because of the color of his skin. 0’s idols are Saul Alinsky & Frank M. Davis, two more community organizers/Communists. They are masters at manipulation, and they pick the whiners of the world as their voters, feed their victim mentality. The blacks figured that with 0 in the whitehouse, they’d be living large, able to do/get/be anything, because “their guy” was finally “in”! Because 0 is half black, everything out of his mouth is gospel, and they must defend their messiah…no matter what he does, or says. This violence was bound to kick into high gear because obama, the god, has done jack crap for them in 6+ years…NOTHING, except organize the black communities, as usual. Even his party was very iffy about him in the beginning–he was “clean” and “spoke well”, like “surprise”! Then, when the Good Ol’ Boys saw the votes coming in, 0 was pure gold. But, HE HAS DONE NOTHING!! And, the blacks cannot take their frustration out on him….so they just riot more often and more violently. The truth is that there very likely aren’t any more police shootings of black criminal types than there’s been in 20-30+ years, but they’ve got Obumblebutt, Holder, Sharpton&Jackson to rabble rouse–and, THAT is what community organizers do best. So we get riots…black neighborhoods burn, like they always have. It’s unfreakingbelievable that so many blacks still vote Dem…they’re back on the plantation, under the Dems’ thumbs! Pitiful & pathetic!!
