USA Today names Baltimore 'the nation's most dangerous city' (Liberalism works alert)
Baltimore Sum ^ | February 20, 2018 | Justin Fenton

Posted on 02/20/2018 3:33:46 AM PST by Zakeet

Baltimore’s highest-ever per capita homicide rate in 2017 also made it the deadliest big city in the country, USA Today reported Monday.

Though official data from the FBI won’t be available until later in the year, USA Today reviewed the homicide rates in the nation’s 50 largest cities and Baltimore came out on top. The 342 homicides the city experienced in 2017 were a 17 percent increase over the prior year, and translated to a rate of 56 killed per 100,000 people.

That easily outpaced New Orleans and Detroit, which both had about 40 killings per 100,000 people, according to the report.

The track record of liberalism in cities and the inner cities should be enough to wake up many minority groups and many Dem libtards, but yeah.....sometimes the ‘blind’ will seek to remain ‘blind’....

Yes, when the outlaw bikers refuse to tread there, that is one bad, nasty place.

Drug trade. Heroin. For background read the David Simon book Homicide: Life on the killing streets or just watch The Wire.

The lack of large organized crime such as La Cosa Nostra or Russian mob or Yakuza keeps most of the drug trade at the street level. The small time gangs are constantly fighting over the best areas to sell drugs.

I would love to know how many civilians were killed versus players. Players in the drug game.

Potland and San Francisco are liberal too, yet they have low crime.

Someone should determine how many of the murderers come from two parent stable homes?

Black rule doesn’t work.
Hopefully we can start speaking truth, at least here at Free Republic.

Portland, Oregon has had more liberal leaders than Baltimore, for longer. It’s not a high-crime slum.

Name one black majority city that’s not a shithole.

Same as Boston-——liberal but not high crime.

I can still see,in my mind,the young black thugs pelting rocks at the police——who were told to just stand and take
it.

Another step in the deterioration of race relations.

You give me hope.

I’m currently on a full spectrum/infrared kick and that place would be perfect.

Actually, I believe the RATs enable all this racial strive in order to initiate a race war. This as an excuse for them to declare martial law and round up any “right wing extremists”.

I don’t know why the President couldn’t selectively nationalize the National Guard (especially Marines and Seal members) and do some mop-up on any “no-go zones” in the US.

Any gang-banger retards who decided to defend “their” turf, attacking the troops, should be either taken away, or shot.

Once these areas are secured, the cops need to be enabled and trained to keep the peace. Just like sanctuary cities, those RAT officials who fail to maintain public safety should be held accountable and blamed for any loss of federal funding.

I am pretty sure that Kleebold and Harris had both parents.

Of course, with a murder team there is a different mental dynamic than with an individual killer.

With a team the disturbed thinking feeds off of each other. Their fantasies are reinforced and amplified by each other.

When the planning is completed and the decision to act is made they prevent each other from backing down.

That is correct - it's also true of Amsterdam, Stockholm and Copenhagen before Africans and Arabs poured in. The problems of Baltimore and Chicago are caused by demographics, not by ideology. Majority white liberal cities may run budget deficits and squander resources on worthless gimmicky programs and causes, but they don't by themselves turn cities into gang warfare zones or lead to complete social collapse. For that to happen, you need a majority population of blacks or of Third World immigrants.
