Well, I usually try greeting every day with a smile. It's easy to do here in the Kos pond, but every so often we need to venture into other ponds or swamps so as not to miss any good opportunities for education. I recently saw a bunch of turtles heading off to Repuglican school, where they will have their brains filtered, and come out ready to bleat the Party line.
Turtles on way to school
Notice, there's one poor fella turned around--maybe he figures he doesn't want to be brain filtered, or perhaps he's decided to become an Independent thinker.
But at any rate, I decided to go back to that red water swamp, from which I had made such a hasty exit, just a day or two ago. Glad those humanoids had such bad aim. So after an unusually short journey, I wound up in a Red Water swamp--but not the same one as before. After paddling around for a while, I came upon one of the denizens of that Swamp, a truly ugly fellow, they called "The Philosopher". Now he didn't look so intellectual to me but indeed he was UGLY.
"The Philosopher"
Whew! This big guy had just been having a conversation with some devolved turtles (Repuglicans) which explains why the swamp water was Red, not peaceful Blue. Their conversation was actually recorded. It seems there had been trouble in a neighboring pond that had been severely economically deprived for more than half a century. So these reptilians (and I am ashamed to say that I too am a reptile, despite wishing no association whatsoever with this group).
Now this ain't gonna be pretty, but I feel it is my duty as a self-respecting Alligator and member of the Kos pond to faithfully relate the complete conversation--distressing as it is:

Baltimore has seen 27 shootings and eight deaths so far over Memorial Day weekend, as the month of May promises to be the most violent the city has seen this century.
“It is disheartening that we are seeing such an increase in violence, especially when we think about the progress that we’ve made,” Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told WJZ. “We’ve come too far to have this type of setback.”
The sharp uptick in violence coincided with the April 12 arrest of Freddie Gray. Gray, 25, died in police custody a week later. The case sparked rioting and looting in the city and nationwide protests over police brutality. Six officers involved in Gray’s arrest and transport were indicted last week by a grand jury. Charges include second- degree depraved-heart murder and manslaughter.
According to Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton, crime in the city has reached levels not seen since 1999.
The city did not reach the 100 murder threshold until July last year.
Just who the fuck does Mz hyphenated American think she is fooling with her rhetoric?
ONE STEP FORWARD . . . and
the freedom of destroying the city goes a long way . . . . . .
50 year step-back in citizen civility . . . Baltimore will NEVER be the same . .from here until the sun burns out. Baltimore forevermore will be a hoodrat-thug-3rd world city . . . GOOD GOING MADAM MAYOR . . . .YOU'VE BUILT THAT.

She's one of the "smart ones" !
Hey Baltimore...the ghetto dwellers in Detroit and Chicago called; they want their impulse control back.
Violent crime is up everywhere Obama inserts his racial politics/ideology. This is the Obama Crime Wave.
Another competitor enters the race.
Who will take the deadliest US city trophy?
Pro-Crime Policies Work: NYC Murders Up 60% Under De Blasio
I honestly think it's time to let the leftists and race hustlers have it their way. The herd needs to be culled. Just don't let any of your loved ones near any of their rotten cities or neighborhoods.
They'll all take a trophy and pat themselves on the back for what a great thing they have done sticking it to the man and never once realizing that it's not 1969 and they are now the man...
Aw, heck. They are just taking advantage of the "space to destroy" that the Baltimore Mayor and Powers That Be have provided.
Should have served crab cakes instead of Popeyes' perhaps...
I like Popeyes. Especially their spicy.
KFC on the other hand, makes good bait....................

You may catch us a troll
Heh. SNAP! Might lose a digit for the want of a drumstick! SNAP!
I guess blacks lives don't really matter after all.
well imo you got to have one for it to matter & let US face it no way I would trade.......I refuse to give up my white privilege to roll in the ghetto gutter.............
Sure as Hell don't to me.................
HAHAHAHAHA
So one black thug dies while in police custody and the blacks set Baltimore on fire; 27 shootings and 8 deaths by the hands of black street thugs and they're lighting up the barbeque pits... sounds about right. Do you want potato salad or coleslaw with your BBQ chicken and ribs?
I'm trying to think how much I care - pretty much not at all

Celebrate Homogeneity
If they confine it to their own streets and buildings, I'm indifferent.
And people are surprised shootings are up because ....??? In the Gray death and riots to follow, the mayor, the police commissioner, the state attorney, the DOJ and the White House all gave the lawless rabble the message that they had their back because they weren't at fault, the cops were. .Lawlessness in the government breeds lawlessness on the street.
Thats a good start. Keep up the good work.
Had a look at the numbers for Baltimore. The population peaked out somehwere around 1970 and has been hemorrhaging ever since. They have already lost a third of their population. And while they have not demolished city blocks in the way Detroit has yet, it looks like they are already starting to do so in earnest. This town is finished.
Hands in the air.....don't F-ing care.
Cleveland is next.
So, 27 shootings with 8 deaths. Were the shootees african? Were the shooters african? Were any of the shooters po-po? If none of the shooters were po-po, then it looks like so far, the po-po have straightened their stuff out, racism wise. So, no reason for the africans to get on their riot faces, since it is just business as usual. The status quo. The standard fare. De rigueur. Deja vu all over again.
I thought these enlightened intellectuals actually had been attending a Ku Klux Klan meeting--if they could figure out which side the eye holes went--we know where the assholes went.
The last time I went to a Red Water bond I got shot at. I'm glad I'm only Green because if I was a Black gator I surely would have been lynched.
Well you know that we Alligators have pretty hardy stomachs but this is more than my digestive system could take. You'll understand why I then exited this Swamp for the Blue of the Kos pond.
So regardless of who the Dems select for 2016, I am voting for her or him--we can not let these Repuglican HATE MONGERS get another one of their malevolent morons in the White House!
