Black-on-black violence is not exactly a big secret in the Baltimore-D.C. area. The most popular shows about Baltimore, for instance, have been "Homicide" and "The Wire", both showing week after week of violence in the streets of Baltimore. Now this is unusual because this is Annapolis, which is far from the violent zones of Baltimore City or D.C.
"which is far from the violent zones of Baltimore"
I think not. Annapolis is no more than 30 min from Baltimore. Easy shot down I97.
