Frankly, I derive a lot of satisfaction from seeing the hotbeds of Obama support suffer so. We warned them, but they didn’t listen; they’re still expecting him to pay their rent, buy gasoline for their wheels, etc.
If the BLM crowd hate the cops that much, the cops should oblige them and stay out of their neighbourhoods.
Well, at this rate. the crime rate is bound to go down at some point.
The trash will have taken out the trash.
The butler did it. Probably where this winds up.
Now seriously, would you be a cop or firefighter in a majority black city? Or a black led city?
I suspect many of these cities will soon have problems filling their ranks as the “first responders” (black, white and in between) seek employment in normal communities.
Exactly, sometimes you get the police force you deserve.
Any hate crimes to report. Affies murdering whites is the new progressive knockout game?
Some things I remember forever. One of them is that the “community leaders” who burned down a huge swath of their city were going to police themselves, and make it safer without those evil police. (not my words)
It must be cops killing all these people. That’s the only thing I’m getting from media and the Casa Blanca.
A 78 % increase in homicides and an additional 100 black deaths are an acceptable level of collateral damage for progressives to retain power and control...
100 additional deaths when compared to the hundreds of millions dead in the 20 th century to keep progressive / marxist ideology moving forward is small potatoes...
Impeach the mayor
once the power structure in the criminal black subculture of the city is stabilized, the murder rate will decline.
Use the filters to choose which Baltimore homicides since 2007 appear on the map. Click or tap a point for more info on that homicide.
I love the way leftists always sit around scratching their heads wondering about the cause of things.
Two of the three causes they point to are a result of failed leadership. Truth to be told, the third is too, since the pharmacies probably wouldn’t have been looted had the mayor not given the questionable early orders that she did. Regardless, asking the people who are there is probably more productive than idle speculation. Probably that is why the Economist put this pretty much as a question.
Bump.
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse
Shows the systematic problem that is never really addressed at all or a complete lack of political will to at least try...
It's sad, these that a law abiding citizens need to live their lives in such deplorable situation...
Ask the Baltimore State’s Attorney why this is happening. Her actions have directly led to this result. Meanwhile, cops are protecting themselves, no more gone to jail, none dead, all going home after their shifts. I love a happy ending.
