Baltimore is a Democrat schiffhole. It’s been bad for 50 years, just a tad bit more violent lately. You have to consider that they are only killing their own, with occasional collateral damage.

In June at an anti-gun violence rally, the mayor advocated organized fights as a means to solve disputes without using weapons.

Oh, good. Can't say they lack innovative leadership. I mean, organized fights to address the violence issue - who would have thought of that?

There are no doubt reasons why the federal government has found it necessary to do what is essentially municipal policing, and the city owns them all in the form of anti-police activism and pure corruption. It's hard to imagine that the $800,000 slipped into the pocket of Mayor Catherine Pugh for her Healthy Holly books couldn't have funded more effective policing, but the city had its priorities. If certain community activists are now howling they might want to take a glance in the mirror for at least part of the problem.

“They clearly require further gun control legislation and perhaps some advanced diversity training. Throw in sanctuary status, more welfare and they’d be well on their way...”

You forgot midnight basketball.

Pretty normal. When I lived in the Baltimore County, the city had about 1 death per day. That’s actually running a little light. Slow start to the year for the city.

Are all the victims and dead folks black? I thought surely I would hear the BLM advocates screaming their heads off about black lives mattering with all that slaughter going on. Or do black lives only matter when power and money can be gained by demonstrations and riots, i.e. when a white person pulls the trigger?

Poor Baltimore. More than ever, they need strong decisive leadership from the mayor they elected.

Oh wait. Scratch that. That mayor is in jail.

They had a mayor that would “just give them room to riot”. Maybe they could get that one back.

“activists say city ‘was never like this’

You mean like before you elected Democrats to run your city?

Trying to overtake Chicago....

Chicago is at 79 homicides according to HeyJackass.com

In addition to a larger population, the ferals in Chicago have improved their aim. They are killing 19% of those shot versus the 16% -17% of prior years.

While these numbers of people are murdered in Democrat run cities, the Democrats are attacking President Trump over the people who may die as a result of the corona virus.
