Baltimore Mayor Releases New Crime Plan After 'Nobody Kill Anybody' Weekend Failure
Daily Caller ^ | August 9, 2017 | Anders Hagstrom

Posted on 08/10/2017 10:58:28 AM PDT by Zakeet

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh announced a violent crime plan and appointed a new criminal justice director Wednesday, just days after the city failed to go 72 hours without a murder in the "nobody kill anybody" weekend campaign.

... Her policy plan addresses three areas she believes are the root cause of violent crime: poorly trained police, poor drug policy, and an under-educated populace.

Pugh’s plan also addresses a criminal justice reform topic that has enjoyed wide bipartisan support across the country, which is lowering sentences for drug crimes. Her plan calls for increased investment in drug treatment programs and other penal alternatives to prisons, WBAL reported.

She also wants narcan, an overdose reversal drug, to be more accessible in the city.

Her final major reform is to make Baltimore’s community colleges offer a free two-year program to seniors graduating from local high schools, claiming violent crime is often caused by a lack of opportunity.

The obvious libtard solution to make the weekend a success was to direct all law enforcement to not answer any calls. All crimes can then be taken care of on Monday and all reports will reflect they occurred then, not on the weekend. Do we have to think of everything for them?

Of course, 50 plus years of Democrat rule has nothing to do with any of that.

Her final major reform is to make Baltimore’s community colleges offer a free two-year program to seniors graduating from local high schools, claiming violent crime is often caused by a lack of opportunity.

Sounds nice, but how is she planning to pay for this?

I want to solve guns so I am reducing sentences, giving out narcan, and offering free college.

One of these things, is not like the others,...

This is using a totally unrelated excuse to deploy massive social program wants and desires she can’t get any other way than “linking” (and how are they linked, btw?) them to gun violence.

None of this stuff will change gun violence one bit. It’s just the cause du jour to get this stuff rammed through.

I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.
...
These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again

Lower sentences for non-violent drug crimes, but INCREASE them for violent drug crimes.

This is so simple...

Everybody knows everyone is "somebody" so telling "Nobody" to not kill anyone isn't going to stop the killings because the message is to NOBODY...

If it has meaning to you I'll add the "/s"

We keep stymying Darwin's social work.
