Black Crime in Baltimore High -- but Should be Higher
American Thinker ^ | September 16, 2014 | Colin Flaherty

More than 20 witnesses. A crime scene confession. A shaken victim, willing to press charges. And what happened?

Nothing.

Last summer there was so much crime, so much video, so many people wondering why it was happening so often, that Governor O’Malley suggested that the new mayor might want to copy what he did to fight crime when he was mayor: Put more boots on the ground.

Not on my watch, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the Baltimore Sun:

"Returning to the days of mass arrests for any and every minor offense might be a good talking point but it has been proven to be a far less effective strategy for actually reducing crime.”

This came just a few months after Maryland legislator Pat McDonough called on the governor to declare downtown Baltimore a “No-Travel Zone” because of all the “black” people who were “terrorizing” the area.

The mayor did not like that advice either.

She had her own plan and it was working just fine: Just stop arresting people. When O’Malley was mayor, the city collared 100,000 miscreants a year. Last year, they nabbed 50,000.

This allows the Mayor to brag to anyone willing to listen that violent crime in Baltimore is down -- 45 percent since the year 2000.

Police “made no arrests, saw no crime, had no reason to make an announcement. There’s not even a report -- it’s just something that happens,” he said.

That's exactly what happens in England and France with muslim yute crime.

Its too much work. The D.A.’s staff would have to actually work for a living and use a lot of overtime to prosecute those thugs and they know they’re all going to skate because they’re Obama and Soros’ sons. Plus non-prosecution means they’ll continue to vote DemoRat and pillage, plunder, and loot cities into 3rd workd atatus according to The Great One’s vision of hope amd change...

"Growing up in Baltimore city can be hellish for white people,” said one of many correspondents. “Anyone who isn’t black is a target.”

Stunning article! After reading it, it is no wonder the streets erupted. There are few consequences for black people who attack their neighbors or neighborhoods.

Blacks protecting their own. Any politician who even hints at trying to improve that mess is only going to be black balled (pardon the pun) out of that living sewer called Baltimore. The rioters, looters and thieves can’t see the forest for the trees. How in the hell do they expect to improve their situation by continuing to vote for people who do NOTHING to help them improve?
