I see a lot of horse dung there about guns but nothing about the skin tones of the perps and their victims.
Anyone who's seen HBO's The Wire note that the crime problem in Baltimore was pretty accurately depicted in that series.
The biggest problem with Baltimore was after the 1968 riots right after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., many non-blacks fled the city on a truly massive scale to parts of Maryland outside of Baltimore itself, which really hurt the tax base of the city. It didn't help that the city of Baltimore essentially is run almost separately from the rest of Maryland, which means the state government can't do much the help the city economically at times. As such, the city rapidly fell into economic malaise, and today Baltimore will soon replace Detroit as the most miserable city in the USA.
At least Detroit is finally starting slough off the terrible political and economic legacy left by Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick--even Manuel "Matty" Moroun, who essentially bottlenecked goods trade between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario due to his ownership of the Ambassador Bridge, is being put in his place with the start of the construction of the long-overdue second bridge crossing, the Gordie Howe International Trade Crossing bridge, which just started construction work.
