Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the city's recent spike in violence “disheartening” Thursday as police work to address a dramatic increase in homicides and nonfatal shootings.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” the mayor told reporters at a news conference. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.”

Eventually, even those people that voted for you will get tired of going to Saturday burial services. When these people get tired of burying their children every Saturday, maybe, by the time they’ve buried the 100th corps, they’ll begin to put the blame where the blame belongs, this mayor, and these city politicians.

SHE’S responsible for the spike in crime because SHE ALLOWED the criminals to loot and burn her city without fear of arrest!

52°F in Baltimore right now. I'd say it would actually be a good day to announce they were not going to indict anybody.

Chicago had 38 confirmed kills this past weekend - and it’s not even Memorial Day yet!

No, it will always be whitey's fault because of slavery and the racist Republicans' fault because they won't send more federal dollars to Baltimore because they hate blacks.

You’re certainly following the Detroit model there in Baltimore.
Things are picking up in Detroit...

Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies than it did last year, and Police Chief James Craig is crediting armed citizens for the drop.

Prayers to the good citizens of Baltimore. Unfortunately the thugs are running the show, and there’s one in the mayor’s office.

“Chicago had 38 confirmed kills this past weekend - and it’s not even Memorial Day yet!”

Your information is wrong

Chicago May 2015 To Date
Shot & Killed: 18
Shot & Wounded: 175
Total Shot: 193
Total Homicides: 23

That is over 20 days, not one weekend.
