I thought there was only one, Freddie Gray. Wait a minute. Yeah, Freddie Gray. Posted on 05/13/2015 6:20:00 PM PDT by Kaslin
RUSH: Did you know that there continue to be murders and shootings in Baltimore? (interruption) What do you mean, it can't be? (interruption) No, no. It's not peaceful at all since the cops have been arrested. It's not peaceful at all since Marilyn Mosby has come on the scene. It's not peaceful at all since Ray Lewis and other notorious Baltimore athletes have spoken to the community to calm them down.
"The increase in violence," Baltimore Sun, major newspaper of the region. "The increase in violence that has followed the death of Freddie Gray continued through the weekend, with four homicides reported since Saturday, according to Baltimore police. Ten people were reported shot on Sunday alone, including three who were shot to death within a span of 39 minutes. The violence comes as the city prepares for the Preakness on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course."
Is that what they're preparing for?
Are you telling me that in Freddie Gray's neighborhood, they're getting ready for the Preakness? I thought they were getting ready for the trial. (interruption) "How many police have been arrested?" I don't know. Let's find out. The numbers continue to flow here. "At least 87 people have been killed in Baltimore this year, 22 more than at this time last year. Nonfatal shootings are up nearly 50% across the city." You mean at least 87 people have been killed in Baltimore?
I thought there was only one, Freddie Gray. Wait a minute. Yeah, Freddie Gray.
I thought he was the only one, right? (interruption) Well, I don't think the cops killed these other 86 people. (interruption) Uh, I know, like a "duh" moment. "The most recent homicide came Monday afternoon. Police said a man was shot in the head in the 3400 block of Clifton Ave. in Southwest Baltimore. On Sunday, officers responding to a shooting in the 5400 block of Crismer Ave. in the Woodmere neighborhood of Northwest Baltimore at 10:21 p.m. found a man shot in the lower back.
"He died at an area hospital from his injuries, police said." Police had nothing to do with the shooting. "On Sunday, officers responding to a shooting in the 5400 block of Crismer Ave. in the Woodmere neighborhood of Northwest Baltimore at 10:21 p.m. found a man shot in the lower back. He died at an area hospital from his injuries, police said. Nine minutes later, police investigated the discharging of a gun in the 1300 block of N. Carey St. in Sandtown-Winchester in West Baltimore, the neighborhood where Gray was arrested April 12.
"Officers found a man shot several times. He died shortly after they arrived. At 11 p.m., officers returned to the Woodmere neighborhood for another shooting, police said. They found a man shot several times, just one block from the homicide at 10:21 p.m. The man died at an area hospital, police said. Police said they have no suspects in the homicides." There are two pages here that report all of these incidents. The wave of Baltimore shootings and killings continue. (interruption) Now, I don't know if the mayor knows.
I don't know if the Drive-By Media knows. I'm talking about the national Drive-By Media. I don't know, but quick addition here: After all the riots in Baltimore, if you look at the timeline at least in this story -- after those riots and after the curfew -- there have been at least 25 shootings of young blacks in Baltimore, and the cops are not accused of a single one of them. Twenty-five shootings since the curfew ended. Twenty-five!
You haven't heard about it, I'll bet.
This is a Baltimore Sun local story. Cops were not involved in a single one of them, and yet what's the narrative? "White cops -- any cops -- shooting innocent black citizens wantonly, all the time, frequently." Think of the toll... Seriously here, folks. Think of the toll all of these incidents take on the police responding, on the medical people who have to try to save them all. You've got the first responders. You got emergency room personnel, doctors, nurses, and the cops.
Twenty-five shootings alone at least, since the Baltimore riots.
And we were led to believe it was all fixed! Ever since Mosby came out and charged the six cops, we were led to believe the town had been satisfied. Their desires and demands had been met, and they had all gone home and were living, now, once again peaceful lives. (interruption) Well, the concert from Prince? What good did it do? The concert from Prince? it doesn't look like anything done in there has reduced the incidents of gun-related incidents.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I wonder how many of these shooting incidents in Baltimore can be traced back to the ongoing efforts from the Department of Justice to make police departments act with more restraint -- in other words: Back off. This is what the DOJ is forcing on all the police departments it's taking over. Because, as you know, the left believes -- it's Obama. Obama, Eric Holder and the rest of the crowd believe -- that violence in communities is the result of the police.
Too big a presence, militarized police force, cops everywhere, cops in your face -- cops here, cops there -- that promotes violence, they believe. Of course, it's just the exact opposite. Anyway, they think if you withdraw the cops, make them invisible, then they're not provoking anybody, and then the citizens will not feel as though they're being put upon and will behave peacefully.
I just wonder how much of... I mean, I've looked up the numbers. It's actually 50, folks, from the Baltimore Sun article. More than 50 people have been shot. Not all dead, but more than 50 people have been shoot since the April 28 Baltimore riots. I just wonder if police restraint could be responsible.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You would not believe my e-mail, how many people do not believe that all these shootings are going on in Baltimore. They haven't heard a word about it. They can't believe it. They thought peace had been restored once Marilyn Mosby came out and charged the six cops and the curfew was ended. They're really stunned, and I'll bet most people around the country are because it's not news.
Any more shootings in Baltimore after Marilyn Mosby's taken charge and after Prince goes in and does a concert and after the DOJ says, "Yep, we'll go fix the place," of course it isn't gonna be reported 50 shootings since the riots ended. Of course it isn't gonna be reported. It totally flies in the face of the narrative.

I knew they were bad news, but never realized the level.
Charge them as enemies of the state if the time ever comes.
Does the drive-by media care? This why it is called the drive-by media.
And, some old white guys are being beaten to a pulp.
Ha ha. They are an ally and arm of the State, not it's enemy.
There is a pic flying around on Twitter that appears to be the Baltimore mayor in a soft porn pose. Sure looks like her.
lol!!! Then i fit right in!!
Should have said the people. Thanks for the correction.
Before that CVS store burned, it was stripped of everything but fathers day cards.
Very funny !
.
well when u have two teen age girls running the town,what do u expect?
I saw an article yesterday by a AP reporter, Todd Richmond, who wrote a headline, “No charges against white police officer”. Pointing out it was a White officer, no charges, setting up for the low information readers who will not read more than the headline and get the message to vent anger the way of the White officer.
This is that article:
http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_268748/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=F99Ib14l
I saw all this from some other article where the comments below were people saying this guy Todd always wrote from this bias against cops.
The guy is on Twitter. I wrote him and said why do you point out the officer is white? Because it so angered me.
And folks on the federal government's Amtrak are dying without the option of wearing a seatbelt.
YES YOU CAN!!!! THAT’s BECAUSE THERE'S A @#$@#$@#@#$@#$ing IDIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!
punch and bang head against wall. Dont get yourself kicked off FR by posting something you'll regret...sigh
Does the drive-by media care? Does the Mayor and Balto DA care? Do the Democrats care? Do the liberals care (from their suburban/rural homes and gated communities)?
A collective “Hell NO”.
End of story, a story which will never see the light of day in the mainstream media.
Don’t you all know that O’Malley fixed Baltimore years ago?
And the liberal media turns a deaf ear, a blind eye. I see Rush stated there are still people getting shot and killed in Baltimore. Media silence on that. Likely black on black crime now, no use to report it.
It’s really criminal.
