For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies... How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow... Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her... When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her... that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
A shocking video has been released allegedly showing police officers tasering and beating a homeless man to death who they claim was resisting arrest. Though the video is not clear, eye witnesses say the homeless man - Kelly Thomas, 37 - was unable to put up any resistance and was lying on the ground on his front when the attack took place on July 5. His screams and cries for his father can be heard amid the tasering noises. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2019225/Police-beat-taser-gentle-mentally-ill-homeless-man-Kelly-Thomas-37-death.html

Inner Harbor workers, and allies, staged a demonstration on the morning of July 27, 2011, in front of the office of the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC), located in downtown Baltimore. They expressed their concerns about a reported "$3 million rent break that a harbor developer, the Cordish Company," is requesting from the agency. Meanwhile, they point out many Inner Harbor workers "are often on the brink of homelessness and often face threats of eviction."
