Can you imagine a white governor calling out the national guard to quell a black riot in a balck population with a black mayor?

And if he is black I would ask the same question!!

MD's gov is a RINO. Same as being a Democrat.

You are a PERFECT example of the Republicans don't begin to understand what being responsible is or even means.

The governor is the leader of the state. If there were riots in Orlando, Scott would be the person in charge of calming them.

Larry was asleep on the job as Maryland governor. He should have taken charge immediately. Doesn't matter if the voters or party in power is Republican or Democrat. The governor is the top state official and should have been there in Baltimore in charge of the situation.

So tell us, do you think Larry should have ordered the National Guard to shoot the looters ... staring with rubber bullets but escalating if they failed to disperse? That's what should have happened in my view ...

Anyone recall the Gov and the Mayor walking off the set of CNN when pressed on why they did not take action earlier. They just left the set.

When did we become a country that "allowed" violence in our streets ?

Demonstrating, as MLK did, is a tradition but this violent, damaging action needs to be handled in a like manner.

Dang, get educated before you post and make a fool out of yourself - again!

You missed the entire point of the post. Both of them for that matter.
Or I should say ignored them both to allow for the usual dumb commentary......not again but per usual.

Must be lonely at your place, your planet?

Now, be a good little toad and go back in your hole and do not bother the grownups again.

You bring nothing to the discussion. Scram!

Let's say that Gov. Larry should have done exactly what Gov. Scott would have done in the exact situation - same cause of the rioting, etc.

Or former Gov. Huckabee in the exact situation.

Or former Gov. Palin in the exact situation.

Why don't you just answer the question and stop dodging ... should rubber bullets have been used on the rioters or not to stop the looting and violence?

I will assume that poster was the same one who always answers a direct question by asking another. HE never answers the question...HE never will discuss the point being made.

HE is all about trying to be the smart @&& in the room with trying to put everyone on the spot.

I would condone doing whatever would have been done by Mike Huckabee or Sara Palin or Rick Scott.

Dear Guest: You may want to contrast in reality what governors do or can do when they compete with Mayors that do not fall in line with their agenda. Two examples that come to mind are New York City and Chicago. Politics is always local.

This nation is very divisive too pre-occupied with playing the blame game. Voters/taxpayer/citizens should work in unison in their grievances to not party but all politicians. Its the Hatfields and Mccoys gone national. It didn't end well for these to families nor will it for this nation.

Personally, I reached the point were if divisiveness is spewing from a politicians mouth its a turn off meaning change the station. UGLY EQUALS DIVISIVENESS. VOTE FOR SOLUTIONS NOT POLLUTION

Personal Best Regards:

Personally, I think that the mayor should be charged and fired for her actions/in-actions during the rioting. The States Attorney should have been fired also for convicting the cops in the media before they were even investigated, showing her bias. If I was in charge, and they can thank the Lord I'm not, I would have used the same technique they use on our naval ships to repel unwanted boarders, a high pressure water hose to begin with. And then physical force. Anyone rioting and destroying property has given up all civil rights and deserves whatever happens to them, be it a clubbing, tear gas, or rubber bullets. If they are physically and possibly permanently injured, then that is on themselves since they were putting their neighbors' and neighbor's property in danger. If we don't stop these riots at the start, then they grow and get out of control. I have no sympathy at all for those that resort to physical violence when they are angry. They were criminally wrong and the mayor contributed to their actions and was also criminally wrong.

Thank you ...common sense well articulated.

The previous poster kept dodging the question because he knows what needs to be done but is still wrapped up like a pretzel in paralyzing PC

Is that what former Governor Huckabee or former Governor Palin would have ordered?

WHY is this even a valid question ?????

Only valid if your idea is to criticize folks who are of a party different from yours ?

HAS NOTHING to do with the subject at hand, now does it.

Sometimes people just make themselves look bad trying to bash others and this is a great example. You seem to have your britches all tied up in Huckabee and Palin for some reason.

I have no idea. I can't speak for them. Why don't you ask them, instead of attempting to bait your betters?
