Sniper Fallout
A street performer who worked the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore, Maryland was banned from the area for life after he speculated aloud about the race of the Washington-area sniper last year, reports the Baltimore Sun.
Speaking to a crowd at the time a sniper was running amok in the Washington area, comedian Jerry Rowan said, "I heard they've finally come out with a composite of the sniper. ... Apparently," he continued, "he's a white guy that speaks Spanish and looks like he's Arab."
The comments attracted the attention of police officers nearby, and Rowan was eventually banned from performing in the Inner Harbor area. The remarks were deemed “very insensitive and inappropriate."
Rowan has now sued the city
