Well, I tried to help. I wrote the Mayor and suggested that part of the crime problem was because of the heavy restrictions on defensive rights of law-abiding citizens, which could be easily reversed. Of course I got no answer.
amid a surging rate of gun violence...
I heard the black guns are the most violent.
Well, guns from broken homes in general.
Guns without a father are five times more likely to pull their own trigger.
Stop and frisk emphasis patrols. I was city manager 10 years ago and we had 9 murders. I called the chief into my office and gave him his marching orders. He arranged on any given night over the next 6 weeks to have 20+ LEOs on duty. We had several other local agencies participate including sheriff’s deputies from 3 counties, police officers from cities 45 miles away, and state patrol. The final tally was no more murders and 77 felony warrant arrests.
If the Baltimore mayor is asking for Hogan’s help, it’s only so he can later blame “Whitey Republican” for the mess — even though Hogan is a never-Trump RINO POS thru-n-thru.
Bump
i believe in helping those that at least try (and can) help themselves
This is a culture problem and technology cannot solve it.
If they instituted some basic traditions of civil order, they would not need the tech. I suggest some rules like “thou shalt not kill” and “thou shalt not steal”. These would go a long way towards resolving the issues present.
Three mass shootings every day in the six counties that voted for evil pygmy witch...
Just get Elijah “Super Fly” Cummings to help.
It’s his area, after all.
Dems need a permanent underclass living in crime-ridden shitholes to survive so they can blame others.
Waiting to read the screaming headlines in my morning newspaper or see the top of the evening news reports about the rampant gun violence in Baltimore. Which I suspect I’ll see the day after seeing the same about the goings-on in Chicago.
Not holding my breath waiting for either to happen, however.
Freedom was awesome
Mr. Young, declare Baltimore an open carry city...if good guy citizens carry their guns, bad guys thugs would not shoot theirs...an armed society is a polite society...
Part of the money they are asking for would be slated for technology upgrades. That sounds great, but even the facial recognition technology they have in place right now is under fire and Baltimore’s own congressman, Elijah Cummings, is fighting to get it banned.
When the city attempted to pass tougher laws for gun crimes, particularly for first-time offenders, the City Council rejected it almost unanimously. A similar state law failed when it garnered almost zero support from the Democrats representing the Baltimore region...
This is easy to understand if you realize that nearly the entire voting population of Baltimore is some kind of criminal, thug, or at least has criminal family members.
They want civilized society to help them perpetuate the idea that soft on crime programs, paid by someone else, will solve their problem that only strict law enforcement can.
They are living in a culture that they created.
Quit the victim BS and quit making excuses for criminals.
If you are not willing to hold criminals accountable they you are making the choice to live with their crimes in the future.
I have zero sympathy for any of them.
Let the liberals live in their filth.
The only possible solution fir Baltimore is for the Governor to take over the government of Baltimore and fire all officials.
A governing tribunal reporting to the governor can be established to receive and disburse all funds. State police shall come in and take over all administration
How about suing the $7 million to fund a tip line and reward for turning in a gang banger.
Start a "Stop and Frisk" policy.
Put guys with guns in jail for a LONG time.
This would be a good start. Having a gun on the street should be a bad idea for the bad guy. Not a good idea.
