And note the op ed in the baltimore Sun. What a bunch of fucktards in the MSM and all those who hate on Trump and his supporters. https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinio...0190806-hmc2gndnhfhodch4yxromipgnq-story.html We assume it was pure motives that led a Trump supporter to launch a cleanup in Cummings’ district, right? Baltimore Sun Editorial Board Baltimore Sun Aug 06, 2019 | 2:20 PM Volunteers clear an alley strewn with trash near Fulton Ave Monday morning. They were inspired to come out and help by Scott Presler, a Republican activist who organized the cleanup via Twitter. (Jerry Jackson/Baltimore Sun) It made for good photos, compelling videos and catchy Twitter hashtags. A group of conservatives rolled their pickup trucks into one of West Baltimore’s most impoverished neighborhoods Monday for a cleanup day. Loaded down with trash bags and shovels, they cleared alleyways of old tires, food containers, paper and other debris. They pulled up weeds and cut away overgrown grass. The group posted before and after pictures on social media showing their progress. The effort was organized by pro-Trump activist Scott Presler. He claimed the event was not political. Yes, he was inspired to come by tweets from President Donald Trump describing the area, represented by U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, as a “rodent infested mess.” But the visit wasn’t about showing support or animosity for either man, he said. Look, we appreciate anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves to help Baltimore. More than 170 people came from all over the country and cleaned up nearly 12 tons of trash, according to Mr. Presler’s Twitter feed. He doesn’t post any photos of the totality of the trash, so we’ll have to take his word for it. But if this was all about “Americans helping Americans,” why all the videos of Baltimore residents thanking Mr. Trump for bringing attention to the issue? We happen to know that not everybody in West Baltimore feels that way. And in the same posts as the videos, why the frequent reminders that this is in act Mr. Cummings’ district? Then there’s the photo of a Washington Post front page from the day that President Barack Obama was first elected. Mr. Presler tweeted that volunteers found the strikingly un-yellowed, decade-old newspaper among the trash. “Obama Makes History. U.S. decisively elects first black president," the headline reads on the page. “It’s been 11 years,” Mr. Presler tweeted in what reads as a not-so-subtle critique of how much good Mr. Obama did for Baltimore. #ThePersistence ✔@ScottPresler We found this newspaper while cleaning up trash in West Baltimore. It's been 11 years. #AmericansHelpingAmericans 8,822 3:57 PM - Aug 5, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 5,535 people are talking about this Whatever he says his motives were, Mr. Presler’s presence in Baltimore reinforces the tired image of our failing urban cores. That the poor people in this dilapidated city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods and all the public officials around them have failed as well. The bureaucratic, all-talk Democrats strike again. If a crowd of volunteers could clean up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours, how incompetent and helpless must Baltimoreans be if they can’t manage it in decades, right? Amazingly enough, Mr. Presler is not the first one to come up with the bright idea of a neighborhood cleanup. It is not really that remarkable of a concept. In fact, they happen all the time. Sadly, it doesn’t take long for people (frequently from outside the community) to refill the alleyways with illegal dumping and for grass to grow again in front of vacant buildings with no resident available to tend the lawn. Does Mr. Presler know that drug dealers use trash to hide their product and have been known to threaten people who try to clean it up? The solutions are just not that simple. The silver lining in all of this is that the residents of West Baltimore did get a much needed cleaning up. That is something that they deserve. Streets and alleyways free of trash go a long way in improving the psyche of a neighborhood and its residents. Not to mention deterring crime. Mr. Presler says that people around the country are planning similar clean up events in their own communities. A loud round of applause for that as well. Spiffier neighborhoods are good for everyone. We also hope Mr. Presler keeps his promise to return to Baltimore once a month. It would definitely give his motives more credibility. It might also give him better perspective about the city’s problems than any single visit can provide. Maybe it could even lead him and his followers to advocate for federal housing, health care, transportation, education, criminal justice, civil rights and anti-poverty policies aimed at urban communities. In the meantime, we’ll see how clean the neighborhood still is when he returns in September.
That's pretty much the message any sane person would get. It's not like we needed Presler to point it out either. It's obvious to anyone who drives through pretty much any US city. The state of public housing also proves it. It turns out when people are given stuff and don't have an ownership stake, they tend not to take very good care of it. Over a few generations, habits form. It's utterly amazing that the Baltimore media are upset that someone came in on their own and cleaned up a third world shithole neighborhood. You'd think it's the sort of thing that civic leaders and maybe even a newspaper could have organized themselves. Republicans helping inner city residents. Good question. Baltimoreans showing their civic pride. This is way more fun than cleaning up my street.
Wherever people from 3rd world go, the outcome is the same. Here we have a leader with all the resources to make Baltimore a showcase city. The results speak for themselves. Feel free to change '3rd world' to the problematic population of your choice. Maybe not in our lifetime but civil unrest is putting it mildly. Seems like you can take the person out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the person. They'll recreate it wherever they go.
Where's Elijah Cummings when you need him? BALTIMORE — Police say one of Baltimore’s newest deputy police commissioners and his wife were robbed at gunpoint. The Baltimore Sun reports that Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy and his wife were approached by four men in an SUV at about 9 p.m. Friday near Patterson Park. Police say the men announced it was a robbery, showed a gun and fled with a wallet, a purse, cash and multiple cellphones. Police say no one was injured. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/18/daniel-murphy-baltimore-deputy-police-commissioner/
I know i'll get a lot grief for what i am about to say but here it goes. The local criminals only understand harsh punishment.
Oh, I know. ORANGE MAN BAD!!!! If only a demoncrap is elected POTUS, all will be well, no crime will ever occur again. It's just RAYCIST right now causing all this crap.
Those people from “the third world” in Baltimore are descendants of ancestors that have been in this country for over 400 years. Everything you see in America from the great White House to its rolling fields and industrial cities is “those people’s” rightful home.
