“Let them kill each other. Sooner or later, this problem fixes itself.”

Nah, they’re too good at procreating.

And dear leader is still unhappy about “white flight” when blacks become the voting majority in a city.

I have been lucky enough to have never owned property in a city where blacks became a majority, but I would never invest in one where this was a potential, even far in the future.

Now, now. I’m sure they’ll find a couple of bodies which were shot in May but weren’t found until June.

We have a black culture geared towards the underground economy and the government trough. This is a fact of culture, not race. Culture is a mechanism for survival in the environment. The black culture has taken a deadly turn when its survival depends upon the underground economy and the government trough.

When you are yoked to the government trough, your life is under scrutiny to justify your place at the trough. The government wants to control your life and this makes them the enemy. You do not want police to meddle in your activities; especially if those activities are illegal; such as the illegal drug trade, prostitution, car jackings, arms sales and identity theft. You can go through the whole list of illegal activities, and the black culture is doing it. And they are going to the prisons in droves for doing it. For that reason, this culture also creates individuals who do not play fair with their community members. To deal with that problem, you do not dial 911, you do not flag down the police and you do not rat on your neighbor. You exact street justice. When a neighbor steps over a perceived restriction, it is the black culture’s version of Sharia Law to deal death to the violator. No officer of the law need stick their nose in their business. Instead of “Hands up, don’t shoot!” it actually is, “Hands off, beat it!” And, “Mama, get my gun!”

What a spiritually empty culture is the black community. Life is cheap. The image of Uncle Remus rocking his chair in contentment on the front porch is not there. Instead, these are pathetic men sapped by Big Government to drive them from the family and ravaged by their biological drive to reproduce and survive in a land where anti-Capitalist economic policy has created a toxic environment and a culture that has to adapt. That was a mouthful for me to say. But, living in the black culture may be a kick in the teeth and a bullet in your forehead.

That’s my thoughts on the matter.

The cops are what keep the violence etc. “in check”.....at best in black neighborhoods. Their culture of violence, drugs, barred windows and doors...and all the other problems are not going away no matter how many police are in their neighborhoods because the police are not the problem.....the people in the their community are.

When we view videos of their fights, those on drugs etc. Most of the observers laugh and encourage the behaviors.....rare any of them will intervene. Generally when things get out of hand THEN they call the cops or the Emts........Like kids calling mom and dad when they get hurt.

“actually Im shocked it was only 43 killed Im surprised it wasn’t more than 100”

Just a matter of more range time with 108 wounded. That’s some lousy marksmanship.

The feckless, incompetent, duplicitous mayor of Baltimore has "re-named" Baltimore as "Murder City".

And, "Black Lives Do NOT Matter".

Interesting timeline for 1972...I was 13. One slight adjustment, which in context of Baltimore 2015 is miniscule, but it’s worth a quick mention: The Moody Blues release of “Nights in White Satin” was actually the song’s re-release. It was originally released in the 1960’s but was too far ahead of its time for even that enlightened period. An extremely underrated band.

The saddest part is that the mayor doesn't seem to understand the main cause for the rise in violent crime.

June in Baltimore will be interesting. Forecast for summer: hot.

The police will get blamed, no matter what. The goal is to keep the masses perpetually angry and feeling victimized. They’re much easier to control that way.

“Let them kill each other. Sooner or later, this problem fixes itself.”........

No, “street rats” multiply quickly. Sooner or later, there will be no room for the expanded street rat population and it will expand to more and more cities across the country. The non-sense killings will not be stopping any time soon.
