BALTIMORE (AP) — A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimore’s 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the city’s deadliest in 15 years. Meanwhile, arrests have plunged: Police are booking fewer than half the number of people they pulled off the streets last year. Arrests were already declining before Freddie Gray died on April 19 of injuries he suffered in police custody, but they dropped sharply thereafter, as his death unleashed protests, riots, the criminal indictment of six officers and a full-on civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department that has officers working under close scrutiny. “I’m afraid to go outside,” said Antoinette Perrine, whose brother was shot down three weeks ago on a basketball court near her home in the Harlem Park neighborhood of West Baltimore. Ever since, she has barricaded her door and added metal slabs inside her windows to deflect gunfire.

People of Baltimore voted for the current leaders and received what they so richly deserved. How is that affirmative action leadership working out for you people now? The Naval Academy needs to be removed to another city as Baltimore is a disgrace to the citizens of the rest of the country.
The Naval Academy is in Annapolis, Maryland, near Baltimore, but not in Baltimore City.
Response: What a shame! /s/
The Naval Academy is in Annapolis MD. Pretty far removed from Baltimore.
What happens when incompetence is not only placed in the role of leadership, but also attacks and villifies law enforcement.
Apparently the Amish have invaded Baltimore.
It's the liberal utopia the Left loves about the cities!
My tissues ran out months ago! I did not use them for me but I did use them to wipe the sleep from my dogs eyes. Baltimore’s situation only brings a knowing smile.
Would Eric Holder like to have that discussion about race matters now? Black youth as a group are the ones responsible fr this violence and bloodshed and murder.
"Cause and effect is racist!"
I cannot imagine having to live that way. I thank my Dad quite often for working hard and improving our lot in life and moving us OUT of ‘The People’s Republik of Milwaukeestan’ when I was a kid.
And yet the Citizenry continues to VOTE for Democrats in Baltimore and Milwaukeestan and Detroit and St. Louis, etc.
I will never understand it.
I feel sorry for the good people of Baltimore...........all 50 conservatives.
She should feel free to go outside. She won’t be harassed by those terrible police . . .
They afraid of white people? Lynch mobs? What they afraid of?
“What happens when incompetence is not only placed in the role of leadership, but also attacks and villifies law enforcement.”
Know what will fix this? Gun control. /sarc
They can’t have it both ways. They can’t villify policeman and make it impossible for them to do their jobs AND expect to be protected from criminals. Karma sucks.
Gee....Ya think she’ll find a connection??
Until these people start recall petitions against the mayor and the city prosecutor and anyone else who enabled the rioting, it’s hard to have sympathy for their situation.
..and all the race pimps have disappeared, to get back to their shit tv shows, and corporate shakedowns
