    Breaking News:

    “Republican Activist Organizes Cleanup in West Baltimore”

    Not-Breaking News: Democrats haven’t lifted a limp wrist to help Baltimore before, or since, the Trump Tweets.

    Today, a Republican organized this cleanup; they put on their big-boy shirts, pants and Crocs and pitched in to do something good, while the Dems still whine about Trump.

    The news media likes this story and is covering it.

    Scott Presley is gay, a former Democrat (AKA “The Persistence”) and is nationally-known on social media for joining and popularizing the #WalkAway campaign to encourage other Democrats to abandon the crazy leftist socialist corruption and Anti-Americanism of The Party.

    Here is an interview with Scott on the One America News Network three days ago, talking about today’s West Baltimore cleanup:

    Thats good stuff. He looks like an interesting fellow. I wish I heard about it earlier so maybe I could have helped out also.

    I had no idea this was happening until a few minutes ago when I saw this thread. Proud of them for getting up and attacking the trash problem. Hopefully we have plenty of copy cats over the next few times.

    Good for him. We need more people doing this type of thing regardless of political affiliation.

    Wonder how many Baltimorons got up off their butt and helped?!

    I was thinking the same thing. I know if there is trash on my street, I pick it up. If there is debris/crap in the street, I pick it. I even weed wack the weeds that grow around the median.

    I see all of this and can't help to think, can't they just pick it up. I am not talking about the dumping grounds, but the sidewalks, street, etc. It aint that hard people. Take responsibility.

    Stand by for pseudo-racist media bias:

    Republican thinks Baltimore is dirty!
    Republican thinks only white people can clean Baltimore!
    White Republican uses black (trash bags)
    The first step of gentrification? Local Republican wants to change Baltimore
    Racist Republican meddles in Baltimore Urban art exhibition
    White Republican feels entitled to clean up Baltimore
    GOP-er want to take away Charm city's "charm". Today the trash, tomorrow they're coming for the soul food.


    Et cetera, et cetera.

    It is good what he is doing. Sadly the residents will see it as "reparations" the media will see it as "racist" and the politicians will use it out of context.

    I really, really really, hope I am wrong.

    Agree, Everytime I pick up a discarded beer can from my yard. (14 so far in 1.5 years living here)

    There are no sidewalks where I live, but I do live by a busy road. The mindset of "imma drink and drive, AND throw the empties in someone's front lawn" baffles me.

    Personal responsibility is the exception, not the rule.

    Before we bugged out, our Gaithersburg neighborhood was going downhill at a wild pace. I would have to go out at sunrise with a broom and dust pan to pick up the remains of five or six broken bottles along the sidewalk and street every single morning - just so it was safe to walk the dog and for the neighbors' kids to play. This would be from local gang bangers just walking through and deliberately smashing sh1t, like peeing on a tree. It was a turf thing. Then we started getting people literally driving in pickups full of trash and dumping it in the road (a sort of cul-de-sac, really). Mattresses, loads of contractor debris, people's food trash. It was incredible. Stayed up some nights watching, told cops what we could when we could. It was a lost cause. You know it's bad when you get used to picking up other people's trash every single day. All of this coincided directly with the appearance of MS-13 in the hood. It was enough to make one's blood boil.
