Are they standing against the gangsta culture? single parent families? welfare mentality?

The representatives say they want the police to stop the crime and get the criminals off the street. When the police go into those neighborhoods to investigate the crimes so they can find the perps and get them off the street, the constituents of these same representatives won't talk to them. Their solution is that the police just need to work harder.

When I was a kid there was plenty to do in summer, with zero cash. We were kicked out of the house at breakfast, met up with the other kids on our bikes, showed up at somebody’s house for lunch, home for dinner, out again for hide-and-seek in the dark. Crime was never a problem.

There’s a good reason we call it Baltimordor.

Back in June, I drove on US 40, the original National Hiway west, from Fort McKinley out of Baltimore. The city is appalling. The row houses are perches for undershirted men. The corners are gathering places for knots of men.

The endless row houses are a mix of orderly to falling apart. The streets and sidewalks are dirty, trash laden. Although not like Deetroit, the Baltimore decay is severe.

One bridge had a pot hole with a pothole. The reinforcing steel was visible.

The good old days. It was the same with me but occasionally I’d be grounded for several days at a time for minor offenses.

Every major city is looking like that. All that tax revenue is going towards leftist pet projects instead of where its supposed to go

That poll is as high as it is because of us Freepers. The site won’t take it down until the numbers reflect their opinion.

Williams said she wants to see police officers work harder on curbing crime the in Baltimore.

My my my my....a taxpayer who thinks that her civil servants are lazy and are milking her for a paycheck?

Have we a budding Conservative in Balmawr? It's a lonely trail.

I foresee the next day's headlines detailing the number of deaths that occurred DURING the National Night Out...probably within the very group that is putting this event together.

"Fight Over Baby Formula Leads To Mother's Death While Participating In National Night Out Event"

"Two mothers, participating in a National Night Out event, fought over ownership of a can of baby formula. One woman pulled a knife and repeatedly stabbed the other woman. Euthanasia Ann Gettys was pronounced dead at the scene..."

Baltimore? What are the demographics of the city that lend itself to massive numbers of crime? Income? Political status? Surely it isn’t race.

This is a hoot. The liberal politicians think that they can get peace by having committee meetings and “public feels”.

What invariably happens is that there are going to be more shootings during “National Night Out”.

(Imagine with a Roger Rabbit voice) “But...but...but what we need is to comm-u-nicate with these youths, to help them express themselves. For everybody to sing “Give Peace and Chance” and hold hands!”

It’s the other 364 nights where the violence occurs; this one night is a joke. The criminal are at home, reloading, smoking crack and beating their ho’s.

What a pathetic joke. The night-out participants likely had many armed security guards in the shadows. These starry-eyed idealists shake inside their houses after the sun sets for 364 nights each year. Most have barred windows in their houses to keep out the feral zombies.

They have the same crap “safe night out” up here in York, PA, with street fairs, cops all over the place, fire depts, blockades on downtown streets, and it’s a paradise for libs and race-baiters.

3-4 blocks off the downtown main streets, in many areas, it’s looks like Baghdad or Mogadishu, but nothing is ever done there. In the 50s, when our Family visited from out-of-state, I remember that those were beautiful, well-kept ethnic neighborhoods; now they’re hellholes from ghetto-rat filth running everyone else out and crime soaring off-the-charts.

I live in affluent East York, and we’re almost all extremely well-armed. If they showed-up here, the feral youth herds would be culled to zero. Stacked like cordwood, in vacant lots.

They want to stop the violence? The solution is easy: get young, black males off the streets, and 99% of the violence will stop.

You want to get rid of the crime? Eliminate the malignant Black Culture and the rotten personal attitudes in the black community.

Problem solved.

Everything else is a waste of time and money.
