I see a lot of horse dung there about guns but nothing about the skin tones of the perps and their victims. Anyone who's seen HBO's The Wire note that the crime problem in Baltimore was pretty accurately depicted in that series.
The biggest problem with Baltimore was after the 1968 riots right after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., many non-blacks fled the city on a truly massive scale to parts of Maryland outside of Baltimore itself, which really hurt the tax base of the city. It didn't help that the city of Baltimore essentially is run almost separately from the rest of Maryland, which means the state government can't do much the help the city economically at times. As such, the city rapidly fell into economic malaise, and today Baltimore will soon replace Detroit as the most miserable city in the USA.
At least Detroit is finally starting slough off the terrible political and economic legacy left by Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick--even Manuel "Matty" Moroun, who essentially bottlenecked goods trade between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario due to his ownership of the Ambassador Bridge, is being put in his place with the start of the construction of the long-overdue second bridge crossing, the Gordie Howe International Trade Crossing bridge, which just started construction work.

Hey wait, Where is Phoenix on the list? Size wise they're right between Philadelphia and San Diego, who both made the list. Phoenix has an approximately 50% minority population and the federal government helps arm the drug gangs and terrorists.
What could be keeping the crime rate down? I can only think of two things. One's initials are JMA the other's initials are CC

There are no people left in Detroit to murder.

“...with high-caliber magazines.”
For some reason, I can’t get them to work in my 9mm. I guess I’ll have to drive up to Balmer and talk to one of the local experts to find out how to do it.

Best thing to happen to Detroit in a long time and a good thing for America. Naturally our _resident did his usual passive aggressive BS and has if not outright tried to stop it, sure slowed things down with his refusal to release money for related infrastructure unless union pension funds got almost half of it. I was glad to see Snyder brush it off and go ahead anyway.

Police in Baltimore and nationwide say they are finding more weapons with high-caliber magazines. I wonder if I should get me one of them high caliber magazines. Is that a really well made magazine or is it one that holds really big, assault type bullets?
