Organizers of Baltimore’s third Ceasefire weekend spent much of Saturday looking back at recent violence, and forward to the potential for better days.
Specifically, they hoped Sunday would arrive without anyone being killed on the city’s streets.
The goal for Ceasefire, a movement advocating for a break in the pace of Baltimore homicides, remained the same as in two previous campaigns last year: A 72-hour stretch without death.
This weekend’s Ceasefire has included music, rallies, discussions and memorials to the dead. Organizers listed nearly 20 events for Saturday alone and say their message is penetrating deeper into the community.
Last year, there were 341 homicides in Baltimore, the highest per-capita rate on record. It was the third year in a row the tally topped 300. The rising violence alarmed officials and spurred lead organizer Erricka Bridgeford to call for the first Ceasefire event. She adopted the slogan “Nobody kill anybody.”

Baltimordor is a 4th world sh!thole if there ever was one.
Charm $hity tried this late last year and only went about 30 hours until the gangbangers were at it.
Its Baltimore, they will have shootings and killings at their cease fire parties.
IIRC did they try this a few years ago and it failed miserably?
This is satire right?
I think America actually leads the WORLD in TOTAL sh*tholes per population/violence/total sh*tholeness x every American inner city. It is quite mind numbing.
OK, I got 18 hours in the Dead Pool.
I hope, you hoped, they hoped....... the change is wounded bodies rather than dead bodies
Tonight’s the night....expect quite a few killings.
No worries, Chitcago will pick up the slack!
Why it's a regular lovefest, a veritable fiesta of fun!
But no midnight basketball? What's with that? Inquiring minds want to know.
You’ll notice though, these community organizers and activists will never make the connection that their cities are being run into the ground by Democrats. All of these hellholes are controlled by Democrats.
Nope. It’s real.
TV news is reporting that they’ve gone 46 hours without a homicide.
That'll pack 'em in.
In the USA, blacks kill people at a rate six or seven times that of non-blacks.
Baltimore used to be a nice place till the DidDoNuffins moved in.
Yeah, I wonder if Vegas has picked up on this yet. The do-gooders where we used to live griped and moaned that there wasn’t a grocery store in a certain part of the city, so when there finally was one, it was robbed within a couple of weeks. Many people had a pool going on that one. The store closed a few months later. More money down the drain.
Yep. There is no gun problem. There is a blacks with guns problem. That is the truth no one is allowed to say.
