Baltimore Sun Slams Trump Supporters For Cleaning Up 12 Tons Of Trash In West Baltimore

The Baltimore Sun editorial board slammed a group of Trump supporters who cleaned up 12 tons of trash in Rep Elijah Cummings' district earlier this week because their actions reinforced "the tired image of our failing urban cores" and the notion that "poor people" can't "take care of their own neighborhoods."


From Baltimore Sun, "We assume it was pure motives that led a Trump supporter to launch a cleanup in Cummings’ district, right?"

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

I didn't know white folk policing  our neighborhoods of trash, keeping a tidy yard, weekly mowing and edging made us racist as the sun basically implied.

The 12 tons - 24,000 pounds! - of trash and junk was there. It had not been cleaned up by the City of Baltimore or whoever picks up trash in Baltimore. It had not been cleaned up by local residents (except any who participated in this clean-up effort ... probably quite a few). If "the tired image of our failing urban cores" is true, fix it! Get city governments to do their damned jobs instead of snarking and sniping at people who did what those city governments should have done!

Utterly pathetic. 12 tons of trash gone is 12 tons gone.  Who cares how it got removed.  The paper should have invited ‘em back to pick more up, and maybe offered to front the cost for water and dumpsters.

People, you can rant and rave among yourselves, OR you can write to the morons responsible for such crap.  I rather enjoy getting in their faces.  Barack Obama told us to do just that!

I had my say with these editors of the Baltimore Sun and their staff members - twenty or more of them.  It's very therapeutic.  They almost never respond.   How can they!  You've got them dead to Lefts. (As opposed to "rights".)

actions like this often show how utterly incompetent, local government is.

The residents in such shirtholes, are Stockholm syndrome examples (inmates)

I just emailed the editorial board to let them know their editorial sucked. 

I expect my email will end up in the trash at the Baltimore Sun.

Thanks, @DeerSlayer! I just sent an email along the lines of @Bill Cipher's post.
