“People are really, really upset,” said Ramos, who met last night with community members in an impromptu gathering at the Peabody Heights Brewery. Pride flags fluttered outside four blackened rowhouses in North Baltimore today after what federal officials are investigating as a possible hate crime that took place yesterday morning.Īt a house across the street, a scorched flagpole was all that remained in the spot where a Pride flag was also torched, apparently during those same hours when the houses were set ablaze.Ĭity Councilwoman Odette Ramos – who lives one block over from where the fire broke out – was on the scene today, talking to neighbors and the workers going in and out of the charred structures in the 300 block of East 31st Street.
