Baltimore residents demand legislative action amid surge in juvenile crime rates

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Sounding the alarm on an uptick in juvenile crime, some Baltimore City residents are demanding lawmakers take action this upcoming session.

Claiming young offenders are putting residents on edge and at risk, in a letter sent to Delegate Luke Clippinger, the association wrote, “We are deeply troubled by the surge in juvenile crime, specifically an increase in homicides, non-fatal shootings, armed carjackings, and car thefts within our district and across Baltimore.”

The letter went on to demand tangible changes to the juvenile justice system, including:

* The charging process for juveniles

* Amendments to probation periods for cases involving illegal firearms and felony offenses

* Revisions around competency commitments

* Increased transparency around the juvenile home monitoring system

* Changes to restrictions on police interrogation of juveniles.

The letter echoes calls and concerns also being shared by police and prosecutors.

“There’s nothing the law will allow us to do to hold them accountable. They are doing whatever they want,” says Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates.

“They come in, we can’t detain them, they are back in the community the next day,” said Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy.

Baltimore voters elected the crime wave. They can lay back and enjoy it.

They should demand the mayor resign, before Christmas, because of the “no Whites allowed” Christmas party.

It’s not just crime anymore. It’s a lifestyle.

Boston and Baltimore both start with “B.” I often confuse them, too.

The mayor of Baltimore should resign because of a party thrown by the mayor of Boston? That’s some interesting logic.

Meet Marilyn Mosby, the Rogue Prosecutor Wreaking Havoc in Baltimore

When George Soros decided back in 2014 to spend millions to fund the election efforts of rogue prosecutors, one of the first people he backed was Marilyn Mosby.

Baltimore voted for more crime, and they’re getting it good and hard.

Baltimore has a sign on the main highways entering the city:

“Only stupid white people enter here.”

Pretty ironic considering most of this jackassery is caused by lack of parental oversight right in the home.

I thought the same thing at first, too. Yeah, another law — that’ll do the trick.

But the article makes it sound like they essentially want to repeal bad laws that let the punks out the same day they do the crime.

Pinhead dems apparently fail to see the connection between defunding the Police and leftist DAs putting criminals back on the streets and increased crime.

She threw a part specifically for "colored electeds" - no Whites allowed.

Imagine a White mayor sending out invitations for a "White electeds" only - and keeping his job.

"Boston mayor under fire for ‘no whites’ Christmas party for city’s ‘Electeds of Color’"
