Wave of Baltimore shootings, killings continues
Baltimore Sun ^ | 5/11/2015

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.

Ten people were also shot Thursday.

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 percent across the city.

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.

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

They may need more body bags and to hire a few more coroners.

Our president and his wife are both anti-white ,,, they sat in rev. wright’s church for years and listened to his racist rants and soaked it all up . Together they have both undone 50 years of Martin Luther’s dream for harmony . Blacks will never want to accept personal responsibility for their short comings . Tax payers have spent over 23 trillion dollars since the Great Society of LBJ to solve their problems and today we can see what we have bought and paid for . Today the president and his wife are no better than the black panthers of the 60’s . They are playing the Alinsky Rules For Radicals game of divide and conquer to break down our Constitutional Republic by anarchy . Bank on it !!!

Blacks can use the N word, but whites can’t.
Blacks can kill blacks, but whites can’t.

You are so right, and it is so disgusting.

Maybe we should proclaim:

Black Lives Killed By Black THUGS Matter!

So from now on if a Baltimore cop sees a crime all he has to do is hand a gun to the nearest...

Oh never mind.

Maybe we need to revisit what John Adams suggested when he spoke to the Militia Officers Oct.11 ? About our Constitution— and what controls the passions of men.
Seems he -like myself—believed that without Religion and morality to guide —all we have left is the violence-and the murder—and the vile passions of brute beasts.

Maybe he saw the crime and maybe he didn’t. Your eyes can deceive you.
Besides, prison are already full of minorities. Why contribute to the problem?

If one black criminal caps another black criminal does it matter?

Translated: "Summer in the hood." Violence always increases in the warm months in cold weather cities.

I hope what is happening is the cops are just pulling back to allow these fine citizens to police themselves. Meanwhile, why should I care a wit about black on black murder when Al, Jesse and Barack don’t give a damn?

I think it’s a necessary but tragic strategy.
If they don’t want the police to try to control the urban culture,
then let the chips fall where they will.

The most racist group of all is white rapists. In one recent year, there were about 20K rapes of white women by blacks, and ZERO rapes of black women by whites.

Obviously, we need to lock up white men and punish them severely until they start raping black women.

Back in 1990, when murders in D.C. were around 900, the total number of white people murdered in the District was 6, IIRC.

The level of concern among white people about the murder rate was about what you would expect.

It’s gonna be a hot summer in the city of Baltimore. It sounds like the truce between gangs has already come to an end. A timid police force and violent street gangs equals a bunch of dead people.

From: Newsmax.com...

Baltimore, Maryland, has long been considered one of the most violent cities in America despite having very strict gun laws. The high number of homicides in Baltimore are largely attributed to a culture of gang and drug-related violence.

In 2012 alone there were 217 homicides in Baltimore. As reported by The Baltimore Sun, the FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2013 identified the city as having the "fifth-highest murder rate in the country."

To date in 2014, there have been 191 homicides in Baltimore, the majority caused by shootings.

...just holding up their "no guns" standards...
