If you managed to make it past the #FreddieGray protesters hurling bottles and food at police outside Oriole Park and into tonight’s game versus the Red Sox, it looks like you’ll be staying for a while.
Several thousand ppl are stuck in a stadium while 30 minutes down the road Obama is about to crack jokes he didn't write. Is this real life?

Yes. Yes, it is.
Due to events outside Oriole Park at Camden Yards, spectators are asked to stay inside the stadium til further notice @Orioles @RedSox @MLB

Dear #whcd: there might be a problem at Camden Yards.

Video displays throughout the park are instructing citizens to sit tight while the riot plays out outside the gates.

In America, you should generally be permitted to leave a goddamn stadium.

OK, head straight home and keep an eye out for people hurling flaming garbage cans.
Baltimore police are now allowing Orioles fans to leave Camden Yards, reports @cbsbaltimore. Fans had been told to stay after violence.

Fans advised to "exercise caution" and stay on Howard Street corridor. #BlackLivesMatter #riots

If you hurry and aren’t struck by flaming garbage, you might still catch the White House Correspondents’ Dinner stand-up comedy routine on C-SPAN.
Cable news roundup: CNN, MSNBC covering WHCD, Fox News airing Judy Miller interview, Al Jazeera America in taped programming. No Baltimore.

If all of the reporters are at #WHCD, how will Obama read that Baltimore is rioting?

Reports of the escalating Baltimore riots caused Pres Obama to drop some foraged wild mushroom ragout on his tuxedo shirt. #WHCD2015
