Unfortunately, Baltimore Police have reported they’re investigating two homicides and one shooting since the ceasefire began.

Well, at least while they were joining hands, they wouldn't be shooting anyone ...

Maybe they were written in cursive.

It is not a ceasefire when only one side has signed on to it. It is just a wish and if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

It is both sad and comical that some left wing numbnuts actually believed this would work.

What a waste of time & a failed PR Stunt! I live in Maryland & have lived in Baltimore.

This state is suppose to be a gun grabbers wet dream, but all you have to do is go to any gun range to find out reality (hell you can’t even get lanes on the weekends)and more Marylanders have been arming up for personal and family protection.

I have told the Wife, “As soon as I have to kill someone for breaking in, make cookies, coffee and bring out the bottled water for the police investigation team because that stiff in the corner isn’t going anywhere as I have just canceled all his future appoints on Earth!” As Daddy said,”Better to be judge by 12 than carried by 6!”

So many places to start here: Gun control laws? Tried and failed. Gov’t subsidizing of minorities, and how that has obliterated their work ethic. Rejection of charter schools. Easy divorce. Three legal standards - one for the poor, onefor the middle class, and one for the rich. Strip-mining of the middle class. Prosecution of the law-abiding who protect their homes with guns.

Last but not least, a completely separate system of governance for immigrants and refugees - all illegal.

You end up with an utter failure of the Rule of Law in one of the largest cities in the US.

Solution is simple. Break down every sociopath in the city, starting with the Mayor.

Wow.

They're going to give Detroit and Chicago a run for their money.
I think in sheer numbers, Detroit is still proudly holding the #1 position. St. Louis has the per capita prize.

Maybe James Taylor can play some peace songs on the street corners to stop the killing. Yep, that ought to do it....

Sadly, two murders in Baltimore over the weekend is an improvement.

I meant an improvement over what normally happens, not that two people being dead is an improvement.

I think the best answer is for the Baltimore Ravens hire Colin Kaepernick with his I hate the Police Pig Socks and everything will be groovy because black lives matter and all of that or something.

"NOBODY KILL ANYBODY"

Well, obviously they're not using the right colloquial.

Should be:

"NOBODY KILL NOBODY, YO!"

You're welcome.
