BALTIMORE -- Juan Grant, who led protests across Baltimore demanding answers after the arrest and in-custody death of his best friend Freddie Gray in 2015, was shot dead on Saturday while driving to his grandmother's house in west Baltimore.

The 33-year-old's murder came on the fourth anniversary of Gray's funeral and the citywide riots that highlighted the frustration and distrust with the police department and the deep divide that exists to this day in Maryland's largest city.

A day after Grant's death, another gunman in the city's western district fired into a crowd of people enjoying an afternoon cookout, killing one man and injuring seven others.

While its true that Baltimore is dealing with soaring crime, drugs and inept political leaders, not to mention being broke and having large sections of the city look like a war zone with no hope of recovery, at least those racist Republicans and conservatives aren’t in charge.

So what? Enter “Juan Grant” in the Maryland Judiciary Case Search website and you’ll get two pages of traffic violations and criminal charges for possession and distribution of CDS not marijuana, usually nolle proc’s. What Baltimore needs is a Duterte who will have his Ton
Ton’s murder all the pissant drug dealers like Freddy Gray and Juan Grant and all the gang members and leaders until there is peace in the city and close suburbs. But no one has the balls to call a spade a spade and just do it.

Big cities in the eastern third of the USA once produced goods and services that the rest of the country needed making them self sustaining economically. Then the globalist(Republicans mostly) took away( off shored ) their rice bowl and we are left with basically non productive economic deserts. This is the core issue - economics. Those factories also generated a huge secondary economy. That is gone also along with the work ethic.

I refuse to play blame the victim. The Democrats are only the secondary infection and symptom not a cause.

This the is f'd up world that globalist, GOPe corpratists wanted, well you got it.

We need a tariff and we need it bad.

Don’t forget in 1965 we decided to pay them to sit on their asses and do nothing but breed and gang bang for generations.

“Democrat Leaders and failure go hand in hand.”

President Trump is the one person standing in way of the dimoKKKRAT agenda.

The idiot voters of Baltimore still can’t figure out the connection between electing inept political leaders and soaring crime and drugs.

This is news?

This story could have been written in 1972 or even when Nancy Pelosi’s father (Delesandro) was Mayor of Baltimore.

“...in 1965 we decided to pay them to sit on their asses and do nothing but breed and gang bang for generations.”

So true. LBJ’s goal of having “n*****s voting Democrat for 200 years” by passing his “War on Poverty” was as destructive to Black society as the atomic bomb was to Hiroshima. These programs led to a concentration of Blacks in Democrat-run cities where it was easy to get on welfare, leading to the destruction of most of our big cities.

Baltimore has some excellent hospitals. I’m betting that many doctors will be moving out soon.
