National Guard is there. They seem to be holding the fort down at City Hall and protecting such important places as Five Guys Burgers and Fries... lol!
I've not seen them utilized yet in the actual riot areas though.
National Guard was patrolling the streets last night post-curfew in Humvees. They had a dozen or two Humvees out. Was a big parade of them down the highway at approximately 11:30PM.
In related news, Ferguson, Missouri, flared up last night to show their support of Baltimore and two were shot. That hit newswires around 1AM local time in Ferguson last night.
There was an entire lack of rioting last night in Baltimore. Around 10:15PM local time lingerers lit fireworks and aimed them at police lines. After a bit of that police shot pepper ball rounds which hit the ground and sparked all over and the area got pretty smokey for a bit. Other than that it was bottle and rock tossing with the police shields.
MSNBC's reporter on site went loco and put his contamination mask on and theatrics. Foxnews had it's continued grainy coverage shot with a 2 megapixel webcam (well looks like it quality wise).
I really wish more local TV stations live-streamed.
In all Baltimore will end up with Guard on reserve for next two weeks. Don't be surprised to see release in the case Friday (which would be damn stupid and set off rioting mASSES all weekend) and next Tuesday on the Gray death and reports about what happened.
There is an unsubstantiated rumor that the deceased Mr. Freddie Gray in weeks preceding his death had undergone spinal surgery. If so would explain spinal issues, but I'd expect people involved to notice healing wounds and surgery work.
Gray and his siblings appear to be part of a large lawsuit about their health and exposure to lead paint. Said he was developmentally challenged due to the toxicity. He and siblings had a settlement (read insurance paid them) over the lead paint matter.
Similarly rumored his mother had a well defined heroin problem that likely contributed to his developmental problems.
I'll say it again, your town / neighborhood goes to this level of shit, being a non invested renter, take your rent money and move elsewhere. Never will understand people with no real binding ties continuing to exist in said lacking environments and blaming everyone else. Can't change things in a place like Baltimore no matter how hard you try, no matter how defiant, no matter how determined. Too much crime, too much poverty, too few people with any sense.
Detroit-like conditions exist throughput much of the Rust Belt - former blue collar industrial cities in the US.
