[Bud_Spencer]

A judge has denied summary judgement in favor of the City in a suit that seeks damages for the City's failure to protect private property during the Freddie Gray riots. Maryland law allows private entities to recover damages when cities refuse to defend them from loss:

Nice, it's about time some of these blue governments start being held accountable for refusing to do their job.

It's really too bad that the city officials aren't personally liable.

I truly hope they are held accountable for the chaos they allowed to happen.

Exactly, fining the city only amounts to more money taken out of the pockets of citizens to pay for their lack of leadership. It does send a message but amounts to a man sitting in a bucket while he tries to pull himself up.

They should be too, but so should the city.

The electorate needs to be held responsible for it's democracy.

Citizens who are responsible for the leadership they elected.

If you elect incompetent (D)'eez to run your city into the fucking dirt....let left wing terrorist go full red guard on your town/city/state and tear it up, IT NEEDS TO HURT.

And those of us who don't elect fuckin' morons should be left to prosper.

Free from being held liable for the stupid in other cities and states.

Every D-bag politician who urged people to riot and loot should be liable.

I believe the shithole Baltimore has run unopposed for years but I firmly believe these shitholes like LA, San Fran, Seattle, Portland who vote these scumbags in deserve all that comes with it.

Unfortunately not all citizens in a city are blue dog scumbags.
