John Angelos, COO Baltimore Orioles
- 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 group 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 US to 3rd 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 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, an ultimate price, and one that far
exceeds the importance of any kids' game played tonight, or ever, at Camden
Yards.
We need to keep in mind people are
suffering and dying around the US 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 is makes inconvenience
at a ball game irrelevant in light of the needless suffering government is
inflicting upon ordinary Americans.

I admire the man for speaking out. Speaking out is no longer a safe thing to do.
