If you are a gambler and want to leave Maryland, there are better places to go.

Lone Star park's Bar and Book is rocking pretty good on weekends. It's very nice and I'm sure it's making money

Some good news - our local cop-killer got convicted yesterday. Bad news we can't fry him - life in prison is the best we can do. Too bad his lawyer walks.

I didn't even make any attempt to even choose a rational stance on the Freddy Gray issue. Not even in the beginning. I irrationally felt I already had to choose the stance I did, because of my political leanings.
There are lots of causes of misjudgement, that is just one example.

Although I usually vote republican I often conflict with party ideals. What baffles me is almost every issue has to be divisive politically almost down to what flavor of ice cream someone likes. Like here, no matter what usually the democrats will stick up for the perp 100% no matter what they did, and the republicans will stick up for the cops to the bitter end, I find that baffling.

In this case, the perps are the cops.

According to an inept, racist, political motivated/controlled ditzy broad who decalred it such.
I will wait for reality.
The word of a Black women democrat with politcal aspirations in Baltimore carries no weight with me. It was a rush to judgement to placate a mob of animals, nothing more.

Really, Tom? I did not see a rush to judgment at all. I thought it moved at a snail pace consider in most homicides, charges are filed and the perps arrested with a few hours, not weeks. If this did not involve cops, it would happen here too. If you or I had taken someone and threw him in a back of a covered picked up and that someone died as a result, how long would have taken them to bring charges?

Do you set your watch by Gulfstream time?
Better buy a new one.
Mosby had the report, what 30 seconds before she file charges?
She didn't have time to read the damn thing.
Did you listen to her so-called speech?
It was obvious the report was nothing more than a trigger for her predetermined action, most likely given to her by the WH through the DOJ.
