Deadliest year in Baltimore history ends with 344 homicides

Blood was shed in Baltimore at an unprecedented pace in 2015, with mostly young, black men shot to death in a near-daily crush of violence.

On a per-capita basis, the year was the deadliest ever in the city. The year's tally of 344 homicides was second only to the record 353 in 1993, when Baltimore had about 100,000 more residents.

The killings were on pace with recent years in the early months of 2015 but skyrocketed after the unrest and rioting of late April. In five of the next eight months, killings topped 30 or 40 a month.

Nearly 90 percent of the year's homicides were the result of shootings, renewing calls for new gun laws. Counting nonfatal shootings, gun violence was up more than 75 percent compared to last year, with more than 900 people shot.

That says it all.

A liberal cesspool run by liberals for generations.

Why do liberals hate black people so much?

What did they expect after electing a riot-supporting mayor?

The stupidity burns.

“Why do liberals hate black people so much?”

And more importantly, why do the dopes keep voting for them?

(Rhetorical, I know...)

Makes one wonder if there’s intra-city thug murder competitions.

Just wait until obama releases all the felons from prisons and gets his federalized police. That number will grow in all over.

Good questions about so much black on black.violence.

Will Obama address this aspect of gun violence in his town hall on guns???

Best guess is that its racist to bring up black gun violence, black or other minority gangs who perpetrate so many shootings.

Instead need to concentrate on the NRA. In Obama’s Alinskyite world view, the NRA is the enemy.

At some point in history Baltimore must have been a halfway decent place to live.
How did all the good people of Baltimore let it become a human cesspool?

Remember last April, when the thugs were enable by their mayor, what they were all calling for? They claimed that if they policed themselves the deaths, all the fault of the evil police force, would dramatically decline.

Oops. Guess the thugs don't really care about black lives.

Chicago had more homicides, but the population their is more the 4 times as large.

Baltimore had a murder rate of 55 per 100,000 residents. About 13 times the national average.

Oppressive gun laws, Liberalism and giving space to destroy don’t seem to be working.

Never enough for them. It is one of his goals. Reform the justice system. Federalize the cops and release all BLM felons from prison.
