Exactly. I would assume there are no gangs of Nork yutes roaming the street at all hours.

In a sense, Bernie is right. But forget Baltimore. Think the Big Picture.

All of the country will be no better than North Korea if the Democrats get another 8 years in office to destroy us. Just imaging that night time world map with no lights on in the entire USA except the few on in Washington DC.

Absent from Bernie’s comparisons is a truthful root cause analysis.

Take poverty for example: Why is Baltimore impoverished?
— Businesses are afraid to locate there
— Much of the population is unemployable
— Black public school average IQ - 76
— White flight along with flight of successful blacks
— Entrenched Democrat control of local government
— Dysfunctional families
— Undisciplined school settings
— Tolerance of street crime
— Zero local responsibility for anything
— Destruction of the local black owned businesses

Google the Baltimore riots following the Freddie Gray incident and watch the videos of the riots. How many of the people you see are employable?

all of the topics you noted are taken up in the TV series The Wire.

The Wire taken as a whole over it’s five years running was very prescient and all was revealed as truth during the riots there. The Wire can be studied as revealing the various problems and the depth
of embedment in the society

One problem with all the Republican infighting is that we pay less attention to the real insanity and stupidity and just plain evil that is Bernie and Hillary.

People on the West Bank don’t get WIC or Section 8 housing or free Obama phones.

The difference is Baltimore residents live that way by their own choosing, and poor decisions.
The West Bank and many Third World residents have the conditions imposed on them.

And I wonder how many N. Koreans have cell phones( supplied by their leader) color TVs, cars, air conditioning. And many overweight.

Hey Bernie..... I don’t care! They made their own damn bed, and they can sleep in it. I have no sympathy whatsoever.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Sanders is right on some of his points. However, the epitaph on the tombstones of the inhabitants should read: “Death by big government and socialism.”
