He also said urban casinos could "prey" on a city's poor, who can least afford risking their money. Rawlings-Blake bristles at the notion.

"I think there's a tendency for people to think we have to substitute our judgment for that of poor residents," she said. "They are aware of their financial obligations and what they can afford."

The mayor said she is satisfied that sufficient measures are in place to help problem gamblers, and that the city has sufficient "high-quality hotels, many a short distance away from the casino" to attract high rollers.

how can someone with such a low IQ be the mayor

i canvassed/campaigned for slots in 08 and i feel dirty now

Last year, 858 Maryland residents died due to alcohol or drug intoxication; that's enough to replace the entire University of Maryland football team more than eight times.

How many times could the basketball team be replaced by cocaine fatalities?

A fight broke out inside Baltimore's Horseshoe Casino on the first weekend after its grand opening.

A video of the incident shows security guards wearing yellow shirts rushing to break up the fight, which occurred in the line for Pie-Zetta, a pizza restaurant, around 3 a.m. Saturday.

"Basically, somebody said something ... to one person and they took it the wrong way," said Kevin Forrest, who witnessed the fight. He said a woman sprayed mace before about 20 security guards stopped the fight and escorted people out of the casino. Forrest, who goes by the nickname "Hollywood," took the video and posted it to Facebook, where it was shared more than 400 times by Sunday afternoon.

that isn't enough to close down and demolish the place is it

somebody said something

basically

County Executive Steve Schuh said Thursday he will declare a public health emergency as soon as next week in response to a "heroin epidemic" in Anne Arundel County.

"It's not like it was back in the old days. That drug is not just sort of in pockets in the gritty urban neighborhoods in minority communities," Schuh told the BWI Business Partnership.

"It's everywhere, it's north, south, east, west … you name, it's there. It's every racial type, every income level. It's absolutely everywhere. And it's going to get worse if we don't go after it in a very serious way."

This guy's a fuckin' treat.

lol i read that like 4 times last night very ragefully

Oh no one (that you know of, Mr. Executive) of my rich constituent's kids in Annapolis or Severna Park is on heroin that's just not possible EPIDEMIC.

the solution is more arrests & prosecutions, mandatory penalties for "repeat offenders" which has worked amazingly in the past and made us feel very good because 10 years in DOC will cure anyone's heroin addiction, right? i was also disgusted to read that harford county is sending a narcotics detective to every overdose call, which is sure to motivate more people to run away rather than calling 911. best practices.

i really love annarunnel cownee

Nice. I saw a typically vociferous Britney Girl comment on an aacpd facebook post a few days ago. I don't even remember what it was. Something about catching a robber in Laurel maybe? Anyway, it made me smile.

that landslide video upthread is completely insane

wondering the same. out of town for the weekend and this pops off.

i don't like to leave my house but reading the dog whistle racist pro-police anti-baltimore facebook updates of a few professional acquaintances makes me wish i had. also ban whites from quoting MLK.

i've been swamped w/ work but trying to get out there soon

dog whistle racist pro-police anti-baltimore facebook updates of a few professional acquaintances

"shoot these rioters"

property damage really brings out the worst in some people

fish or click bait (how's life) wrote this on thread rolling "Is This Racist?" thread on board I Love Everything on Apr 20, 2015

For the past couple of weeks, one of my facebook friends (a high school buddy's spouse) has been posting up updates or comments like "they're not racist, they're just BAD POLICE. there are white police shooting black kids, black police shooting black kids, black police shooting white kids. why does everybody have to keep bringing race into this?" I've been biting my tongue pretty hard because she's my friends wife and like, I'm going to be charitable and imagine they are in disagreement about this already and hopefully having fights at home about it, but holy fuck.

I just defriended this chick because her fb posts have escalated into full-on shrieking "al sharpton don't you dare come to my city with your race baiting" and "now that the national guard is here, they won't be as patient with you as the baltimore pd has. if you don't get in line you will get shot!" I was all like, ok high school friend's wife whatever, but I really got no time for this shit.

i feel better about people who are outwardly racist today than i do about ppl go to baltimore unless they have to suddenly "disgusted" at the "violence" and posting things like this

like, it's a picture of buildings whose owners pay no property taxes, in the part of baltimore built for white ppl to feel safe in, that is now being patrolled by national guard. and you love police. it is so peaceful.

Feel so sick

my neighborhood (like most neighborhoods) was totally unaffected as far as i know, therefore i am sick of people urging me and others to "stay safe", but i was still not able to sleep because i feel so bad about what happens here & everywhere. sirens kept me up and they never do.
