Should FEMA Provide Aid to Baltimore For the Riots Damage?

[Zeta333]

By putting them down, amirite?

So what, your perfectly ok with people rioting and burning down a town with no consequences at all just because they are upset?

Im sure you guys remember the riots that burned and destroyed a portion of baltimore, so the question is should the city receive aid to pay for the damage the citizens caused?

No, FEMA should not. Reason being is that the damage was man-made and the city leaders of Baltimore made the conscious decision to allow it to happen.

Yes. Why is this even being debated?

What does my age anything to do with this?

Pretty sure FEMA only covers natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, etc. Out in the West they do forest fires too.

I think Baltimore will have to ask the state of Maryland for aide or the Federal government, good luck on that.

[Stacyrect]

Hey they wanna riot and fuck shit up in their communities, let them pay for it. Let the community take responsibility for its actions, for once.

[Brangh]

Loaded question. The city already has $11 million USD in unspent FEMA aid as the article points out. What is the purpose of giving Maryland more money when they are not even spending what they have already received?

[Tierbook]

Well I would say yes, however, the mayor of Baltimore basically told police to let them do whatever they wanted so my answer has to be No.

Thats part of why the answer has to be no. Letting them show everyone the kind of apes they are was the right move thought. If the police had intervened everyone would have been on their back until the end of time. Cant blame them for that.

Isn't this the second time you've made this thread? And were shown that fema includes damages for riots?

FEMA includes man-made damages.

Shouldn't the rioters pay? FEMA is more natural disasters and such.

That would be my preference. I'm in favor of extremely aggressive crackdowns on insurrectionists. Individuals that show their displeasure with the government via looting and damaging private property should be dealt with harshly.

hurt feelings does not merit property damage..

But apparently property damage warrants death... hmmmm.....

Sounds utterly foolish.

I mean my what a world we'd live in. We'd have sterilization of petty criminals and people being killed for looting.

"They should be dealt with harshly, kill them"

I think you know I'm enthusiastic about Singaporean justice.

Where you can face death for carrying small amounts of meth.

[Spectral]

Yes, that's the one. They don't have much in the way of meth problems, you'll notice. Not much graffiti either. Decent people can safely walk the streets at night. Can you say the same for Baltimore?

[mhdoe]

Yes.

Not sure why this is actually a question.

Not sure why you would say yes

No, it's not. It's just that we don't have as many civil emergencies as natural disasters so you don't see FEMA in those situations as often.

Completely different countries, completely different cultures, completely different history. Don't even try to say they're not like Baltimore because they'll kill or harshly punish drug dealers. You are smarter than this, so please find a better argument.
