Option 1. A mayor appears in front of the camera. He is from Baltimore, 39 years old. Dawn talks about the collision of the ship with the bridge, almost just kicked out of bed. Leave aside the wardrobe of the boring elegance of his position and today take the first one that gives him a coat. Thus, he wears a college-inspired jacket, that type of piece related to sports teams in American high schools. Watch Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf. Eddy Murphy in Super Detective in Hollywood. Yes, that kind of coat.
There will be time to study the causes of the accident, he claims, and insists that the focus should be on “people, lives, souls”. “There are people in the water that we have to get out and that’s the only thing we should be talking about,” he adds.
Option 2. The mayor of Baltimore, who appears just after getting off the sheets, says exactly the same thing. But, on the contrary, it goes flawlessly. Correctly, and despite the tragedy, he found the moment to choose whether to wear blue or black. Dress with a tie and button-down shirt. classic gummy
Well, the majority in X has not considered that Brandon M. Scott – that’s the mayor’s name -, if he had dressed up in the second way, would have been the vivid image of the politician used to disguise himself for others, more more concerned with appearances – his above all – than with facts. Patrick Bateman’s own psychopathy.
Knowing how to be, on this occasion, is option 1, not 2. Scott, in order to address his citizens in coherence with the situation, has had a torrential downpour. A trivial detail: Scott is African-American: “It is the third most dangerous city in the USA and rightly so if the mayor already thinks so.” “He’s more of a brigand than a mayor”. “It looks like something out of a drug store in the Bronx.” “[One] of the thousands of Yankees in the city.” “He has taken advantage of the provisional third degree granted to him by the prison board, to make statements about the collapse of the bridge.”
Someone is trying to point out the prevailing racism and classism. “Fetterman shows up in shorts and is ‘a man about the town,’ but Mayor Scott shows up in a Baltimore City letterman jacket and [comes out] with this shit,” complains @DrDavidInDC. He is referring to US Democratic Senator John Fetterman, who shows up in the Senate wearing hoodies and shorts. Another trivial detail: it’s white.
People die and to X the “is this the mayor?” “There are people in the water that we have to get out and that’s the only thing we should be talking about,” Scott had said. Well, come on.
