“Ferguson Effect” Triggers Nationwide “Crime Wave”
Two weeks ago, we took a look at Baltimore in the aftermath of violent protests that left the city in ashes late last month.
The astonishing statistic: from April 27 to May 14, there were 23 homicides in the city, for an average of 1.3 each day.
We summed up the situation as follows: “But out of sight, out of mind for the rest of the country and we imagine that just as high crime rates and a generalized sense of despair were ignored before the riots, so too will they be ignored now that the media spectacle has died down … at least until the next “purge.”
In fact, May was the city’s bloodiest month since 1999 with more than 30 people shot on Memorial Day weekend alone.
Here, courtesy of The Baltimore Sun, is a recap of those who were murdered in Baltimore from May 17 through May 25 alone:

Meet The FBI’s Secret ‘Eye In The Sky’ Overseeing The Baltimore Riots
As the controversy surrounding the upcoming Jade Helm military exercises has made abundantly clear, Americans are growing more distrustful of a federal government they perceive as being increasingly willing to infringe upon the civil liberties of US citizens. Fears that Washington is conducting clandestine activities aimed at gathering intelligence about the US populace and the notion that we are witnessing a creeping militarization of US cities has many Americans on edge and as the following story from the Washington Post makes clear, it’s not paranoia if they’re really watching you.
Via WaPo:
As Benjamin Shayne settled into his back yard to listen to the Orioles game on the radio Saturday night, he noticed a small plane looping low and tight over West Baltimore — almost exactly above where rioting had erupted several days earlier, in the aftermath of the death of a black man, Freddie Gray, in police custody.

96 Percent Of Americans Expect More Civil Unrest In U.S. Cities This Summer
Please take a moment to examine the following:
Unrest is defined as: an uneasy or troubled condition; unease or discontent
Rioting is defined as:
Noun: the definition of a riot is a violent uprising or wild disturbance by a crowd, or an outburst or torrent of uncontrolled feelings or emotions.
Verb: to riot is to take part in violent protests or disturbances or to act in an unrestrained or uncontrolled way.
Now that we’ve made that minor distinction, which do you expect to occur if the six officers charged in Baltimore are acquitted, which they almost 100% certainly will be says one of the most famous liberal Harvard professors:

Dr. Ben Carson Supports Baltimore Prosecutor In Bringing Charges Vs. Police Because “Tensions Were Mounting
Here’s Dr. Ben Carson on “Fox & Friends” this morning saying he supports the decision by the Baltimore Prosecutor to bring charges against six Baltimore Police Officers.
His stated reason was that “tensions were mounting” in the city – the very reasoning Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said should NOT have been used to bring charges. Dershowitz said the charges are “crowd control,” which is a “sad day for Justice.” I agree with Dershowitz. Carson is supporting a Prosecutor who has horribly overcharged the officers as well, something Carson never commented on.
Carson believes the police may have unintentionally caused injury to Freddie Gray as they subdued him by putting a knee in his back around the neck area. That, coupled with him then being put in the back of a van where he “rattled around,” as Carson put it, caused the deadly injury. Carson made no mention of reports that Gray was banging himself against the inside of the van in an attempt to injure himself, as reported by another prisoner in the van. He also made no mention of a Medical Examiner report indicating the injury to Gray’s neck matched a bolt in the back of the police van.

Baltimore: The Mainstream Media Control System Is Collapsing
Baltimore is burning in the wake of Freddie Gray’s funeral who died after sustaining a spinal injury while, if you want to believe a certain mainstream media narrative, banging himself against the paddy wagon walls. If you find it totally believable that someone can break their own spinal chord on purpose, you’re probably white.
However, this isn’t about Freddie Gray. Ferguson wasn’t about Michael Brown. What is really happening is that people are beginning to awaken to their own slavery and the mainstream media matrix is having a harder time than ever of trying to hide that truth.

It’s Official: Police Were Ordered To Stand Down And Let the Baltimore Riots Rage Out Of Control
Up until now, there had been some unconfirmed reports that police in Baltimore had been ordered to “stand down” during the riots, but nobody had been willing to come forward and go on the record. Now that has all changed. Michael Lewis is the Sheriff of Wicomico County, Maryland and what he has to say is absolutely jaw dropping. When he saw what was happening in Baltimore, he gathered up some of his fellow officers and drove down to the city to help. But when he got there, he says that all of the police were being ordered not to take any action and to let the rioters destroy property. Lewis made this astounding claim during a discussion on a Baltimore radio station…
A Maryland sheriff who traveled to Baltimore to help law enforcement stop Monday’s riots told 105.7 The Fan that he was stunned when officers alerted him of the orders to stand down.
Lewis says that he never heard the mayor give any particular orders, but he is very clear about the fact that the police were being instructed to “stand down” and to “let them destroy property“….

From The Man Using His Body To Block Violent Mob To The Boy Handing Out Water To Riot Cops: Moments Of Kindness In Baltimore Amid The Violence
After a night of violence, looting and lawlessness, residents of Baltimore turned out Tuesday with incredible shows of humanity and compassion.
Among the moments captured by cameras was a heartwarming photo of a young boy passing out water bottles to a line of police officers in riot gear.
In a community where even the police commissioner has admitted to a strained relationship between cops and residents, it was a moving gesture.
And the unidentified boy wasn’t the only one going out of his way to calm tensions on Tuesday…

National Guard On The Streets As Baltimore Riots: Bloods And Crips Call Truce Amid Chaos, Stores Looted, Buildings Burning, Leftist Media Silent
Sections of Baltimore plunged into full-scale chaos Monday with protesters setting stores and cars on fire as well as attacking police, random citizens, and members of the media.
What started as a protest over the death of Freddy Gray turn into a display of pure madness with high schoolers and possibly gang members overtaking outnumbered police, setting a CVS Pharmacy and a senior center ablaze while looting countless other businesses on the way to one of the worst riots in recent history. Officials declared a state of emergency and a curfew that begins Tuesday in an attempt to restore order.
“At least 15 officers were hurt, and some two dozen people were arrested. Two officers remained hospitalized,” the Associated Press reported.
“The National Guard represents the last resort in restoring order,” Gov. Larry Hogan told a news conference. “I have not made this decision lightly.”

Twelve Arrested In Baltimore After March To Protest Black Man's Death
Thousands of people marched peacefully through downtown Baltimore on Saturday to protest the unexplained death of a black man in police custody but pockets of violence erupted when a small group smashed windows and threw bottles at officers. At least 2,000 demonstrators attended the march to City Hall, the largest turnout since 25-year-old Freddie Gray died a week ago. Police arrested 12 people who ignored orders to disperse, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said.

Photos And Video Of “War Zone” As Baltimore Erupts Into Chaos: Protesters Clash With Police, Smash Windows, And Attack Baseball Fans
What started as a series of peaceful rallies held to protest the circumstances surrounding the death of Freddy Gray turned into chaos when groups of protesters turned violent, attacking police and harassing stunned baseball fans outside Camden Yards.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of downtown Baltimore in what was originally a peaceful rally at city hall to protest the death of Gray, who died last Sunday from spinal injuries and whose death has added fuel to the racial fire just months after Ferguson.

Civil Unrest Has Begun In Baltimore And This Is Only Just The Start Of Something Much Bigger
On Saturday night, the city of Baltimore resembled a warzone as protests over the death of Freddie Gray turned wildly violent. One eyewitness reported watching the streets around him and his friend “turn into madness” as they left a baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Car windows were smashed, stores were robbed, chairs were thrown and large numbers of random bystanders were attacked. One prominent Democrat claims that those committing the violence were “mainly from out of town“, but how would he know that? Today, there are approximately 2.7 million people living in the Baltimore metropolitan area. It is an area that has been known for poverty, crime and drugs for many years, and as racial tensions continue to increase in this country it is a powder keg that could erupt at literally any time. We got a preview of what can happen on Saturday night. If this is how people will act while economic conditions are still relatively stable in this country, what in the world is going to happen when things really start falling apart?
