Baltimore’s ‘nobody kill anybody’ weekend starts today

John Sexton Posted at 1:21 pm on August 4, 2017

The number of deadly shootings in Baltimore has gone up sharply this year. There have been 208 homicides so far which is more than the number in New York, despite the fact that New York has 10 times the population. This weekend residents are hoping for a ceasefire to prove it is possible to stop the violence, at least temporarily. From NBC News:

Erricka Bridgeford was 12 when she first saw a man die because he found himself at the wrong end of a bullet on Baltimore’s streets.

More than 30 years later, she’s pursuing a city-wide 72-hour ceasefire that began midnight Thursday to end a recent wave of violence that’s taken hold of her Chesapeake Bay home.

Hoping to prove that peace is possible, Bridgeford and other activists patrolled the streets of Baltimore and approached people with flyers in hand. She asked them to commit to the “Nobody Kill Anybody” weekend, requesting that they not exacerbate the violent trend in their neighborhoods.

[ Baltimore’s ‘nobody kill anybody’ weekend starts today ]

Because criminals and thugs always observe slogans, teddy bears, candlelight vigils and walks.

Nice idea. Call me skeptical of thugs.

Sort of the opposite of “The Purge.” 48 hours sounds kind of ambitious. Maybe they should start with 12 hours of nobody killing anybody. Eventually they could put welcome signs: Welcome to Baltimore. Nobody murdered during the past ___ hours.

When intention trumps proper grammar,
you get statements such as ‘Don’t nobody do nothing!”
which is a double-negative. Of course, to point that out, you’d be called names.

The best parties in Baltimore are at the jail.

Weren’t there six jail guards pregnant from prisoners at the jail?

32 homicides in the last 30 days. Over and under 2 for the weekend?

Well, that should solve everything. Why didn’t they think of it before now? I mean, hey, it’s like nobody ever thought about saying “don’t kill each other” or wrote that down some place. Nope, that NEVER happened. Nobody EVER wrote that down.

A great PR slogan: Don't Kill Anybody Weekend" ---

Just what a floundering Democrat-controlled (for decades and decades) city needs to bring in those tourist dollars.
