One POS can't make the city look bad (a city that has looked bad since 1968},1000's of POS can though.

Of course. Why wouldn't they? What position did she play?
If she didn't play, own, or coach the team what the hell is she doing inserting herself into the parade. The city is hurtling headlong towards financial ruin. She should be working on that.
Member
Exactly. She and MOM should've enjoyed the parade with the rest of the fans. Not from the floats with the players coaches and staff... both of them annoy me to no end...

LOL....I must be in the pretty good mood cause this made laugh out loud in the office.....

Rawlings-Blake should not be surprised by that reaction. Say what you want about Sheila but she could walk through the roughest areas of East & West Baltimore and receive warm acknowledgements even after the ordeal. The "boos" were nothing more than a accurate display of sentiment from Baltimore residents toward the severe lack of connection between SRB and the communities they reside in.

That is only because Dixon would give out stolen gift cards to her "homies".

Glad we agree on some things.

It seems like things weren't that great for everyone at the stadium...
http://perryhall.patch.com/articles/...tized-1bab4c6bInstead, a mob of 40 people rushed our section, kicking about 40 of us out of our seats. We were threatened with our lives; they said if we didn't move they were going to stab us. We cried for help and the state police saw us, came up from the field, but did nothing. My kids were so scared and upset, crying.

That story sounds suspect...
"We came to have fun. ...instead a mob of 40 people came and attacked us and the state police did nothing..."
That just sounds made up." Sorry...

Why would they lie? What would be the point?
Member
Could be, but for what motive? If you read through the comments, one poster says that he was in the same section and experienced it as well.

I got to the stadium at 1030, which I wish they would have instructed everyone to do. Bad planning by the City and Ravens, but truly just an amazing time and an amazing day!
Member
To be fair, Bisciotti said that they were hoping for around 30,000 at the stadium, so maybe forecasting was the issue, not planning.
Member
Given some videos I saw earlier today, I can believe it.
It's too bad that a few people can tarnish the event for others.
Member
People generally don't need a reason to lie on the internet, but they do it all the time.
I'd like to think that if ever there were a time for state troopers to act, then would've been the time.
Member
And risk a confrontation with 40 youths in a super crowded venue? I think not. They probably saw the situation as being diffused, so decided it safer to not do anything.
Member
BTW, without revealing where I work, I just overheard a conversation between a few folks who were there and witnessed the incident. Apparently some of the youths brandished their knives to show they meant business. The troopers should have done something, but may not have wanted things to escalate.

I don't understand why this family would give up their seats. I would not have.
I had my share of problems when I went with my family down to the stadium. We were on the field, in the crowd, but far enough away from the stage that we couldn't see anything but the jumbotrons.
A group of young women came up behind us, and screamed (quite rudely) "EXCUSE ME!!!! EXCUSE ME!!!!" We made room for them to get by, even though we were elbow to elbow. I then heard her say, "You have to say 'excuse me' because they already think that black people are rude." I looked around at the other people around me and we just rolled our eyes.
Another group of youths came late and parked themselves next to us and were repeatedly yelling profanities (sh**, ni**a, f***, etc.). They didn't care that there were young children around. The guy was literally elbow to elbow with my 5-year-old son.
Around the same time, a group of young women started yelling at me because I had my son on my shoulders and they couldn't see anything (they had just come up behind us a couple minutes before). I told them I couldn't see anything either. They became even more obnoxious, so I took my family and left in the middle of the rally. It was the last straw.
As we were leaving, there were several youths blocking the stairs. We asked them to move over so that we could leave. They responded that they could not since there were people behind them and they couldn't move. My wife started getting upset, because she really wanted to leave. Eventually another group of people came by and were yelling "medical emergency!" and pushed those guys out of the way. We followed behind. It turns out that there was NO ONE behind the youths. They were lying to us. As we walked by them, I told them that they were rude and what they did was wrong. Not like they cared.
Even with all of this negativity, we still tried to have a good time. Some people will always behave a certain way, no matter what.
