Baltimore goes BOOM

Strength through joy
Baltimore imposes bail bonds of half a million dollars in legal crackdown
Republican governor extends 24-hour detention-without-charge limit ‘to protect public safety’ while courts impose sky-high bail bonds for minor offences

The tough treatment meted out to the more than 200 people arrested after unrest in the city was implemented by the governor as part of a state of emergency that also involved a 10pm to 5am curfew on Tuesday, enforced by 1,500 national guard troops.

Court records show that many others arrested during the civil unrest on Saturday had been charged and given bail amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In one example a 21-year-old black woman was levied $150,000 related to five charges including reckless endangerment and throwing missiles at a vehicle. The fee was not met and she was sent to jail.

The protesters should consider getting arrested on purpose and using economic warfare as a weapon. Make them spend themselves into the poor house to maintain control. Overload the jails, refuse to post bond and make the whole process so costly that the city is forced to show itself as the mere paper tiger that it is. The system is already stretched paper thin economically speaking so why not SNAP that MFer!

Take the attitude of "they broke my bank so let's break their bank too!"

Find an area of non compliance comfortable for you and then don't comply. Smoke weed, carry a gun without a permit, pay cash to someone doing work off book, help a neighbor fix something at his/her home without a gov't required permit (my favorite). Just find a spot, man it and then refuse to move.

"BREAK THEIR BANK!"

The family is the most important and fundamental structure to the first line social safety net. The family is also the fundamental cornerstone of a vibrant and strong local community that serves as a backdrop support to the first line safety net, that being the family. The first creates the second and the second then nurtures the first.

If one wants to strip power from the family and local and then centralize it so a small privileged class can use its labor (the real wealth) as energy to its own self serving ends, what must it do to that family, its safety net and the community built from it?

Why would a strong family and strong local community give up autonomy to a large central state in the first place? If one wanted to centralize power, how would one first undermine strong families and strong communities?

Those who argue for traditional families and the defense of are not all wrong. Just seems to me like the otherside of the isle they make good, heart felt examples but then take the circular path right back to the very people who built the damn problem to begin with. There is no solution there, only more of the same. Do you plead with a hurricane to fix the destruction it created and then expect it to comply?

IT AIN'T THE TOP THAT NEEDS CHANGING!

What do you suppose this has to do with his being killed by police officers?

That is ONLY an arrest record, to which, only ONE COUNT was ever charged and prosecuted to a plea.

OF that list, other than the one guilty plea, ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED.

but then again, how would you know?

TOS.
A witness has come forward and claimed that Freddie gray was trying to injure himself in the police van. Not too unbelievable if you've ever watched an episode of COPS. After seeing his rap sheet anyone claiming to be for the collective good of society should be glad he is off the streets.

We need a Constitutional amendment!

"Citizens must not and shall not be allowed to injure themselves. That right shall be in the sole possession of the local, state, and federal government and shall be afforded Up to and including death of the individual and shall not be subject to oversight by judicial or legislative bodies. The one and only oversight shall be the electorate should they choose to hold the sitting executive responsible at the next scheduled election."
