BALTIMORE (AP) A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimores 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the citys 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. Im 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.

Baltimore is the Progressive utopia the left has always wanted and here they have it..no cops because why should they attempt to help..they show up at a crime scene they get spit at, screamed at and death threats made against them..so why bother..the criminals are cleaning up the gene pool by killing either..the innocent that are being killed, I feel horrible for them but this is what happens when you have no cops around to help out..the left wants a city without cops, this is the result

Cities like Baltimore have all the attributes of a Third World sh!t-hole after the European colonial powers left. They are filled with people who alternate between complaining about the heavy-handed tactics of the police, and complaining about the ineffectiveness of the police.
There are some cultures where it is commonplace for people to be perpetual children.

Gee, maybe the residents should take ownership of their communities! Band together and form watch groups! Meet with local politicians and law enforcement to work as a team and drive out the criminal element! Be responsible for themselves!

They got what they burned the city for, still not satisfied? Thought the gangs were the new security force? No working out? Too bad. Those who ARE NOT BEING PROSECUTED FoR CRIMES should be made to rebuild and clean city.
They are not thugs, they are CRIMNALS.

These stories are a bright spot at the end of a crappy day at work; we work so we don’t have to live like that, and they live like that because they won’t work.
As the middle class shrinks (emptying into the bottom of the socio-economic ladder), more and more of the same pathologies are spreading. A lot of young whites born into middle class families are ending up using drugs/alcohol, pooping out golden-ticket welfare babies without marrying, addicted to freebies/voting Democrat, etc.

As pointed out elsewhere, USNA is in Annapolis, MD, some 35 miles away. It is Johns Hopkins University, and especially its hospital, that keeps Baltimore going.
