“It’s open season on anyone who isn’t black.”
I know people that live outside of Baltimore and they keep telling me how wonderful the waterfront and Camden yards is...yet I once made the mistake of walking with my family 2 blocks outside the immediate are of John Hopkins University (within Baltimore). We were walking to a drug store. It was too late once I figured it out, but we did make it there safely. So I had them hole-up in the drug store while I made a break for the Neutral Zone (i.e., John Hopkins area). I managed to make it there before they got a radar lock, I got to the car, and then drove to the drug store to pick them up.
There was NO WAY that I’m about to believe ANY AREA of that city is safe (other than maybe the JH Neutral Zone, at least back then). And then there was the article that came out in Sept. last year explain how this wonderful mayor “cut crime in half” by simply not arresting people for violent felonies, unless the police happened to be witness and other liberal techniques - but dead bodies are not as easy to ignore and the murder rate in Baltimore remains very high for large cities - that’s enough to keep me out, probably forever.
T. Rowe Price was ready to leave 2 years ago due to the crime, but the mayor convinced them that their concerns would be addressed. Wonder what they will do now?
No place in Baltimore is safe now. It’s like Detroit.
