Baltimore's descent into sh*thole status started under Pelousi's father's watch.

[brownsfan]

Pity.

[Mouton]

While the story seeps with irony, it is very sad.

[spudville]

“The program has been hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools.”

Certainly sound effective. Prayer for the family.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

Agreed. The loss of life is a tragedy. The lack of awareness of what leads to it is even worse as it has and will continue to cost lives.

Eventually a couple of these cities are going to accidentally vote in a conservative and maybe that will wake up the others to how bad Democrat leadership has been for them for all these decades.

[GreyFriar]

shades of schadenfreude for the Dems. sympathy to his family

[Hambone 1934]

Ex NYC mayor,Bloomberg stated that to lower crime ,especially in inner cities,we need to take guns away from all black males 15-25..

[Hambone 1934]

Well,one person didn’t get the message

[Kickass Conservative]

Have they found a Trump supporting White Supremacist Insurrectionist to frame for this yet?

[DarthVader]

The irony!!

[loucon]

Kind of reminds me of the HBO series “The Wire”. Even some of the names are the same.

[Veto!]

Wish you were right, but I doubt it. They’ll keep voting Dem until they’re all dead. I think Baltimore Dems pay their “Dind-do-nuffin” voters to vote.

[Sans-Culotte]

Yep. the headline is its own punchline.

[Zhang Fei]

It would not surprise me if the guy was dealing drugs and was shot by a competitor. Too many of these positions are essentially no-show jobs created to reward political cronies.

[RetiredTexasVet]

“... through his masterful conflict mediation skills, ...”

Learning to duck skill might have been valuable.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Wasn’t this an episode of “The Wire?”

[DoughtyOne]

Gosh, can't wait to see the long list of folks who will
want that job now. (yes there will be some) Hope they find
a good person.

suckers

We see that as doing the right thing.

Those who actually control the streets see it as an
encroachment of their turf.

[metmom]

The irony of it all.

[steve8714]

Sorry. but...i have to suppress a laugh. Safe Streets is a vehicle for the fiction that you never need police violence to control street violence.

[NEMDF]

Sounds like he should have brought a social worker along with him.
