BALTIMORE (WJZ) Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence. Seven people were shot Tuesday night in the Madison Park neighborhood, as Baltimore reported its fifth positive coronavirus case Wednesday.
I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently, Young said. We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.

The ferals will kill each other anyway if the coronavirus doesnt get them first.
Guns are illegal in Baltimore, except the ones that the NRA sprinkles around schools and such.
so this person thinks that by asking in a firm voice, ferals will stop fighting, killing, hurting themselves and others?
LOL LOL cant make this stuff up..Ok criminals, stop killing each other in drive bys so we can have more beds for corona folks
Itll be a race. Thats for sure.
Since you bring it up, what are the numbers of homicides in Baltimore compared to Kung Flu deaths since the outbreak?
In the words of Omar Little, “..the game is out there (on the streets) and it is either play or get played.” If drug dealers stay off the streets, some other enterprising drug crew will take their territory. Wuflu is the least of their worries.
Pardon me, but
Life in da ‘hood is so cheap that they blast away at each other as if its a neighborhood Nerf War.
I guess he stopped short of saying, “If you must shoot, make sure you kill them. Morgues take up less space and we need the votes.”
What a surprise.
Government created panic results in panic in the streets.
Who could have seen that coming?
Will all you gangbangers please just put your guns away. Sick peoples go first!
What happened to giving them room to destroy?
What? And give up their liberty to just shoot each other for the sake of some puny virus? Where are your priorities, man? Can’t have these people dissing you, you know. Bad for the rep in the hood.
“What sort of moral compass do the youth gangs have, that they cant stop shootings during a health emergency? Where is their sense of obligation to the larger community?”
What kind of idiot asks for civilized behavior from uncivilized people? The mayor lacks any understanding about what he is dealing with. I think it was a Star Trek episode where Spock said, “You, as civilized men, were able to pretend to be barbarians. But, they, as barbarians could not pretend to be civilized men.” That’s it in a nutshell. (I think it was the first alternate universe episode where Kirk, Uhuru, McCoy and Scotty got transferred with their counterparts from the Terran Empire.)
It is getting started early. I think this why we are seeing curfews in the bigger cities.
Some certain type of cities folks are looking to take advantage of the pandemic.
If you shoot peoples right, you don’t need no hospital bed
And everybody was kung flu fighting...
It was a really firm voice. You know’ like he meant it. :)
