With Saturday afternoon's fatal stabbing of a 27-year-old man in West Baltimore, the city's annual homicide count hit 300 for the first time since 1999, pushing the city across a deadly threshhold once considered a remnant of the past.

The spate of violence, along with the city's population decline over time, now has Baltimore poised to hit another sobering milestone: the deadliest year on a per capita basis. That is an abrupt turnaround from 2011, when city leaders were encouraged by the first drop below 200 homicides since the 1970s.

Something is very wrong in Baltimore.
San Jose, California has twice the population and will have 1/10th the number of homicides.
Always good when it is a thug taken off the streets.

It's either because San Jose is on the west coast and Baltimore is on the east coast, or it's because of climate change.
I can think of no other explanations.
This was covered over in China. Sum Ting Wong.

She is going to Congress.... watch. They will move her right on up the ladder. The same for that idiot prosecutor as well.
Baltimore isn’t a city anymore. It’s a jungle, infested with filthy savage tribes. With those corrupt and incompetent leaders, it has only one thing left to do....finish dying.
