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.

So we are almost TEN YEARS into the Soros crime epidemic. Society sure is slow to respond to bad things like Soros. It takes a long time to correct such evils. Is ten years enough? Or will it take twenty?
Keep up the catch and release — but castrate before letting them go.
Do we have twenty years?
Lets start at the basics. You do know that Baltimore and Boston are different places, right?
LOL, OMG - you are correct.
I have low vision (not kidding) - and read it as “Baltimore.”
Yes, but mama is probably still in her twenties and had no supervision from her twenty-something mama either.

At a certain point you have to be honest. You have to say: this area is not ever going to be safe.
maybe they could get some social workers involved. Some counselors to allow people to see themselves as victims and everyone else a hammer trying to destroy them. For sure it has nothing to do with Daddy’s being absent from homes, and Big Brother being the major provider for their tattoos and low hanging pants.
Does the legislation include more police?
How about raising your kids right?
I should not impose my white racist standards on blacks. It would be cultural appropriation to expect them to want a nuclear family and stop killing each other. Therefore, I’ll stay out of it and let them continue the killing and brutality.
That's the rub, isn't it? Victor Davis Hanson asks that very question today in his essay in American Thinker:
Victor Davis Hanson: Civilization Versus the New Nihilists - Americans must choose between civilization—or its destroyersIt's a race between those who would save civilization and those who seek to destroy it. The destroyers of civilization seem to have the upper hand now.
Whoever would have expected we'd find ourselves here? We all have "normalcy bias" that the good times and good civilization would continue forever. Little did we know that there are forces out to destroy it.
“uptick in juvenile crime”
Interesting that the only distinguishing trait they can spot is that they are “juvenile”. No other identifying trait apparently sticks out. Hmmm.

Nothing about mothers fathers and parenting.

Why didnt anyone just ask Al Capone to do something about all the gambling, prostitution, murders, and bootlegging that was going on in Chicago?
Crime is legal in Baltimore.
What good is more legislation going to do?
