    FYI, I just got an e-mail from the port. Port is open but no police escorts are available until further notice. I guess the Baltimore Police are a little busy.

    Best to stay away from the area if you can.
    Ya don't want to get caught in the middle of the police or protesters and have your truck turn into a pile of flaming rubble in or on the side of the road.

    FYI... the police are shooting at anything on the street because they are scared out of their minds of people throwing everything at them from rocks to fire bombs.
    There is mulit reports of gun fire and rumers of someone throwing fireworks and hand grenades.

    It is like a war zone right now and seems like it is getting even more out of control.

    Roll a tank up in there along with a few thousand trained S/O and see how long it takes them to get the town back in order.

    Stay away. Don't want to get prosecuted when a few of them gets caught under your wheels.

    The only thing going on today is cleanup.No you don't want to go into west and downtown Baltimore hood rat area,but few trucks do normally.Just watched the noon news,and there have been zero incidents here in Baltimore today.Yes it was a mess last night,but please post facts.The national guard is in place today,you're not going to see a repeat of last nights mess.And if you're going into the marine terminals,no problem.Not anywhere near where all the rioting was.Business as usual there.
    And the police haven't fired a gunshot at anybody,and no hand grenades.
     
    Ruthless, dca, 8thnote and 2 others Thank this.
