We trust that you will do everything possible to see that Justice is Served for Freddie Gray!

5. I know!!!!!!!!!! Hometown girl done good :)

She is quite an impressive young woman. I was so proud to find out she one from here.

10. What is it with Massachusetts that their democrats are so awesome?

15. Sadly, our Republicans are pretty awful lately (Scott Brown, Mitt Romney),

so it's not entirely a bed of roses here...but we are proud as hell of Ms. Mosby!!! She's getting a lot of Hometown Gal Lovin' news coverage here!

2. A Black Woman as a Hero. I like it.

6. I was in tears listening to her finally speaking truth that has been ignored for too long.

I though of the young black men all over this country and thought "finally, someone in power who get what they are going through"

7. She will be an incredible role model for young black women. Her last line was somewhat like, We are

young. It is our time. It was an incredible shift into a new generation of leaders. And I, as a post-war Boomer, white woman, gladly welcome her and stand behind her. Indeed, it is their time.

12. Yes, that last line made my heart skip a beat.

[calimary]

14. That was like a manifesto. WONDERFUL!!!

It felt almost like a torch has been passed. I thought she was magnificent. Sure sounds like she knows her stuff.

[longship]

3. I think she has turned one or more of the indicted cops.

Those charges were so darned specific. And they came pretty damned quickly. One suspects a witness has come forward. Possibly one of the indicted?

Just speculating. But after other instances of recent police violence, this was damned quick, and seemingly definitive.

Mosby's presser was astounding in its certitude and its passion.

4. Not an Attorney....

Nor do I play one on TV but, I would say you're probably right.

[libdem4life]

9. That could be...but she's had her own investigation with the County Sheriff all along.

There has been no comment I've heard that the County Sheriff's office assisted in that investigation. That's a huge law enforcement fissure, or so it seems.

8. Elections have consequences, especially local ones

One of the consequences of the election of Ms. Mosby seems to be the erosion of police impunity in Baltimore city.

We need more such local elected officials.

16. Tip O'Neill said it early and often "All Politics is Local."

He also used to say that "people like to be asked" for their vote.

He knew how to win elections at the local level. If you don't relate to the people in your constituency, you run the risk of alienating them. Then, when you need them, they don't turn up. I think Ms. Mosby has a national leadership role in her future.

11. Great meme

13. Thank you!!

17. Yes, she is a breath of fresh air. Doing her job, which should not be remarkable but the fact that

it is, shows how rotten the system is and has been for so long.
