City sees 40 homicides, more than 100 shootings this month (Baltimore, Maryland)
The Baltimore Sun ^ | May 30, 2015 | Ian Duncan and Carrie Wells

Baltimore Police announced May's 40th homicide victim Saturday, making it the city's deadliest month in a quarter of a century.

Justin Mensuphu-Bey, 23 — who also went by Justin Bey, according to court records — was fatally shot in the 1100 block of Washington Boulevard in Pigtown Friday night, police said. The last time the city had 40 homicides in a month was August 1990, when the city had 42 and its population was significantly larger. So far, 2015 has seen 113 homicides.

Police also identified a previously announced homicide victim, who was shot in the 4000 block of West Belvedere Ave. on Friday night. He was Eladio Bennett, also 23.

The 100th shooting of the month also happened early Saturday morning. A woman was found shot in the leg in the 2900 block of West Lanvale St. in the Franklintown Road neighborhood of southwest Baltimore, police said.

A series of other attacks followed throughout the day....

If people will do this over a TV, what happens when food runs out?

They will discover that "long pig" is very tasty.

"I said this morning that I thought they'd make it to 40, and sadly, I was right."

Plus, we have one more day in May. I'm finally beyond words as to why Obama, Holder/Lynch, Sharpton, Jackson and all the other Black leadership show no concern. Then we have Detroit, Chicago, Philly, and so many other cities that experience so many black on black killings. It's a national disgrace.

"This may serve a useful purpose. Odds are pretty good that a lot, if not most, of the murders are gangbangers killing gangbangers. Reducing the population of thugs at a more rapid pace than the judicial system ever could."

I wouldn't have a problem with your point if it weren't for so many innocents getting killed/wounded in the cross-fire. I see it almost every night on the local Los Angeles news where some stray bullet hit someone who was not targeted.

As noted, Pigtown is based on the stockyards for pigs based there.

My grandfather’s family is one of those packing companies, all pig-based. In fact, I find it extra coincidental that another of the mentioned shootings took place by Franklintown Rd, where the plant is.

They still have 24 hours to get three more homicides to break a record. I bet we will see at least two more to tie it.

I think we know what their type of “laws” enforcement looks like, e.g., black panther voter intimidation and the DOJ turning a blind eye. Ha, them thar chick-kins or is kin-folk are coming home to roost!

"What happens when the food runs out?"

They'll loot and destroy their inner cities and eventually will start targeting peripheral city areas. If they attempt to hit the suburbs, that's when the Sh*t Hits the Fan.

Even if they organize with the gangs who have some auto weapons, they will find that white suburbia is ready to shoot to kill, even here in California. Yes, we still have rifles and many ex-military who are getting fed up with this racist crap. But, of course they won't. They're cowards and welfare babies and don't understand REAL resistance.

Since Obama, Holder/Lynch/, Sharpton, Jackson, Baltimore Mayor/DA don't have the commonsense to not inflame...deadly force resistance WILL happen if they come to my neighborhood. Think about the Koreans who took a stand in the Rodney King riots. Bring it you racist pricks. This is not an idle threat.

You illiterate punks don't have the intelligence (doubt they could spell that) nor capability of organizing, not to mention training. I see you marching up my street with guns in hand, you'll be so surprised at my and the neighbor's tactical moves and run away once we take out a couple of you from sniper positions. You're all just punks who live off your Mom'a welfare checks. Here's your invitation to bring it to suburbia. Come get us.

I’d be willing to bet the cops would be perfectly willing to arrest anyone who has the nerve to defend himself with a handgun.

Remember that the “authorities” went after the Koreans in LA and wanted to prosecute them. Thankfully, the Koreans gave them an “i din see nuffin”
style response.

The official swine in Bodymore, Murderland would go after the decent people too.

This big East Coast city has average home prices of about a hundred thou. That is already in decline I wager. The city has lost 120,000 since 1990. They can only go down from here.

What’s left of Baltimore survives on a very thin reed; there is not a single Fortune 500 company headquartered in the city. A lot of the urban returners who bought fancy new condos down in the Inner Harbor must be having second or third thoughts.

Yep, but surprised the liberal Baltimore Sun is reporting this.

Those deaths seem to mean nothing to libs.

And how many of these killings were black youth on black youth?
And how many folks really give a damn if this is the case?

"Most of the time the cops arrive at a scene too late to prevent any violence anyway."

Singly, event by event, you are correct; a person intent on committing violence will do so. However, there are also crimes of opportunity, which are in fact, deterred by a visible police presence and positive interaction and cooperation between the police and the community. Unfortunately, the deterrent effect can only be somewhat measured and quantified in its absence as we have no way of knowing how many crimes weren't committed.

Well-put, brother. I second that emotion. I too, am fed-up with what this worthless trash is doing to my country.

This is awesome!

Of course it in no way has anything to do with blacks. It is because of slavery, ‘the man’ and ‘culture’

“They will discover that “long pig” is very tasty.”

Someone did a study years ago about how long it would take hungry people to eat the dead, and how long it would take them to actually hunt and kill people for food.

Surprisingly not very long, IIRC.
