As one of the city's deadliest months comes to an end, terrified residents have compared parts of Baltimore to the Wild West.
In the wake of the Freddie Gray riots, families have barricaded themselves inside their homes, too afraid to leave, while those on the streets walk around wielding guns - because there are allegedly no police around to arrest them.
Arrested are down 50percent and homicides are at their highest level in 15 years. In the Western District, there have been more murders in the first five months of this year than in all of 2014.
Neighborhoods such as West Baltimore, which had seen heavy policing because of endemic drug and gang violence in recent years, have experienced a reversal, with citizens claiming they have been virtually abandoned.
But embattled law enforcement officials claim they are 'under siege' from criminals taking advantage of the unrest, while officers complain they are met with hostility while policing certain areas.

sow... reap
Someone suggested photoshopping the Duggers jumping up and down on a police car in Baltimore.
Are these gentlemen getting ready for their job interviews? What are they doing hanging out in the street??
Gee, I thought the ‘hood could police itself./s
If the carnivores replace the zoo keepers some of the herbivores are going to get eaten.
I think you need to speak to your mayor . . . and your president . . . about about the mess you have.
They got what they wanted. And now they are not happy?
Perhaps we could give the #BlackLivesMatter crew badges and guns and cop cars and have them go there and show us how it’s done? Have a little swearing-in ceremony and all?
Man, wherd dem po-leece be at? Dis iz nunsense! Muh bruthas be killin’ wun anutha!
That would quickly devolve...
I envision something like a warlord/feudalistic area of extreme violence by the new “authorities”.
Wild West? I’m sorry, the “wild west” was far more civilized than Baltimore.
In a stunning admission, the Mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake admitted in a press conference that she gave instructions for police to protect protesters, including those who wished to destroy, and to give them some space to do so.
And now .She reaped what she sowed. So now guess who she wants to pay for it.
YOU!
Thats right. The city wants to send the bill to FEMA and have all the rest of us pay their bill.
Adding to the fire is Marilyn J. Mosby, Baltimore City states attorney.
The case has led to nationwide protests as well as riots in Baltimore. Mosbys public statements about the case have led some to complain that she is biased against the officers and that she overcharged them in a rush to judgement.
By endorsing a tweet labeling the officers as thugs, Mosby undermines a defense she made on behalf of the rioters and looters who descended on Baltimore last month.
If a mayor or states attorney of another race did anything close to what those two Negro women have done, they would be fired and maybe serve some jail time for the monetary loss.....for the non-potically correct, we understand what caused Baltimore's melt down; for the politically correct they being part of the problem, can't tell the difference between fact and fiction. Not only are Negro's getting away with crime but now (U.S. must release all illegal immigrants claiming to be gay, bi, transgender: Homosexual activists)....Obama and Michelle's America reflects how welfare countries fail in the end...their America is sullen and bitter.
All American Mothers need to double down on manners, integrity, families and God or some Supreme Being other than the boob-tube and rap-trash.
And who exactly is "Terrorizing the community"
Is it the police?
a better comparison is Rwanda
the same people are involved in both places
Hope the cops have plenty of chalk.
Pray America is waking
Gotta admit, every time I see Baltimore, it reminds me of this clip. That was quite a movie though they changed the book, apparently, to make it more PC.

And I really dislike BA.
I think they may be waiting to get paid by the people who hired them to riot.
They should sue the mayor’s office, if that’s possible, for allowing anarchy.
Just my $.02.
