Baltimore, the champion of political correctness, removes statues overnight, citing safety and security (Confederate statues under tarps, police protection in Baltimore lot facing uncertain future, Aug. 17). How many people were shot and murdered in \"Charm City\" so far this year? Well over 200 murders so far, second in per capita to only St .Louis. Tearing down statues is your answer to safety and security. <\/p>\n
You only did it to conform to the despicable idea that history must be purged of those things that the political left doesn't agree with. Even your Republican governor has succumbed with the removal of Roger Taney's statue from the grounds of the State House. Where does this end? This is what communists do when they take over a country. They destroy history, statues, change street name and rewrite history books to remove all vestiges of past. Then future generations only know the lies being told to them. <\/p>\n
It's a lovely path that Maryland is going down. We won't be coming for any more concerts or ball games. That's all we can really do in protest. Good bye, Charm City. <\/p>\n
