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.

I pity any law-abiding who may still be living there and who cannot afford to move away.
It must be terrifying.
So the feral youth gun violence problem in Baltimore was OK, as long as the coronavirus wasn’t around?
Even government run school inmates can figure that one out.
When Democrats are in control.......
Can someone tell the mayor that he’s a mayor of a jungle and not of a city?
We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.
Nope, they'll pretty much be sitting down, unable to do anything at all about it, except scream for even more federal aid and for gun confiscation.
Yeah, and the folks get dem beds free of charge, paid for by the suckers who go out and work.
If the mayor had not pleaded with the community the fact that seven people were shot last night would never have been covered by the media. They ignore violence in blue cities.
Triage. Stupidity won’t be cured by hospital treatment.
Just quit using hospital beds for thug shooting victims.
Problems solved.
My first thought was “who would live in this cesspool?” My second was “wait, this is only one of a myriad of cesspools in the US.” Perhaps those who are so unhappy with life in these dung pits, that they are driven to violence, would be happier in rustic locations in the middle of nowhere. We have a fantastic rail transportation system and lots of boxcars. Ooops! Lord I apologize for that there...and be with those morons in Baltimore etc....
“We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime. “
other cities have solved that problem by simply declaring that they will no longer enforce the laws, resulting in precipitous drops in crime statistics ...
Yeah, that should work.
As if the mayor or any of the people he’s talking to actually gives a you-know-what.
Get out and stop and frisk.
Baltimore has a mayor?
Where are the fathers?
Shooting victims do not get the same sort of hospital room as those suffering from the flu.
ML/NJ
Or they could give shooting lessons so people have better aim. This shooting at people while you’re running away and with the gun turned sideways ain’t gonna get it done.
