The protestors reached Camden Yards during a game between the Orioles and the Red Sox. The fans were initially told not to leave the stadium.
Here is what John Angelos said in a series of Twitter postings:
That said, my greater source of personal concern, outrage and sympathy beyond this particular case is focused neither upon one night’s property damage nor upon the acts, but is focused rather upon the past four-decade period during which an American political elite have shipped middle class and working class jobs away from Baltimore and cities and towns around the U.S. to third-world dictatorships like China and others, plunged tens of millions of good, hard-working Americans into economic devastation, and then followed that action around the nation by diminishing every American’s civil rights protections in order to control an unfairly impoverished population living under an ever-declining standard of living and suffering at the butt end of an ever-more militarized and aggressive surveillance state.
The innocent working families of all backgrounds whose lives and dreams have been cut short by excessive violence, surveillance, and other abuses of the Bill of Rights by government pay the true price, and ultimate price, and one that far exceeds the importances of any kids’ game played tonight, or ever, at Camden Yards. We need to keep in mind people are suffering and dying around the U.S., and while we are thankful no one was injured at Camden Yards, there is a far bigger picture for poor Americans in Baltimore and everywhere who don’t have jobs and are losing economic civil and legal rights, and this makes inconvenience at a ballgame irrelevant in light of the needless suffering government is inflicting upon ordinary Americans.very strong words and spot on as they are we have to look at America we hear republicans and Dems saying "WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS" problem is now the very ones who keep putting us in this jackpot are now the ones supposedly running the country, and their agenda speaks nothing to this embarrassment to American exceptionalism, instead they pass laws that will keep the status quo and make it worse constant ranting about killing the social net ACA, food stamps and the like you know those things it takes to sustain humans. as to a baseball game i know as many Blacks are complaining about the impact on the games but are we to continue dodging this issue so the ORIOLES can make more money?
i understand big money came in redid Inner Harbor and built stadium and they expect profit from the investment but if they turn their backs once again on the urban strife are they not asking for a similar occurrence in the future or occurrence's if they keep ignoring it???
