The thugs who rioted, burned and pepper sprayed people in Baltimore because three black cops where involved in the killing of Freddie Gray. The cost of the damages to Baltimore from all the rioting is at least $20 million and the counting is still going on. Again I say, well done progressives. Mission accomplished. Keep up torching leftists cesspools. You started with Ferguson, you got bigger with Baltimore. Imagine what you could do in other leftist cesspools like Chicago, New York, San Francisco, L.A. or basically anywhere in Massachuttes and Minnesota?

| Baltimore riots will cost city at least $20 million |
The recent Baltimore riots will cost the city at least a staggering $20 million – and all the estimates aren’t in yet.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the $20 million figure includes expenses for police and firefighter overtime, damage to city-owned property and payment to other jurisdictions that assisted with policing duties.
Baltimore’s finance director, Henry J. Raymond, said that the city can cover the costs from its rainy day fund, but that it is only a temporary solution and that they are planning on requesting up to 75 percent reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“The city remains on strong financial footing,” Raymond told the newspaper. “Hopefully with the FEMA reimbursement, it will reduce the financial stress that we’re under. In terms of the city’s overall revenue structure, we’re on firm footing and we’ll move forward.”
Both Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Maryland governor Larry Hogan have requested federal aid.
