“Sorry. but...i have to suppress a laugh.”

Don’t be sorry. I agree. These leftists just imagine a world they want, and expect that’s how it will be.

When you deny reality, bad things happen.

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

Probably more like “crime exploiting tools.”

Dante Barksdale, an anti-gun violence activist who worked as the director of Baltimore's Safe Streets program, is dead after being shot in the head.

As the Great Goblin said in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit":

"That'll do it!"

Regards,

No, it started when all the pale folks left. BTW, apparently being a violence interrupter in Baltimore is just as dangerous as being an aspiring rapper.

Why should the cops bother to investigate this? He didn’t trust them, so bury him and be done with it. That’s what life without cops is all about, isn’t it?

Safe Streets is a vehicle for the fiction that you never need police violence to control street violence.


There have been a couple of others in the news recently. One was a ‘former gang member’, who it turns out is a current gang member, and was apparently using his position to split up turf, and other was arrested for a crime.

Probably time for a retool of the Safe Streets program

James Timpson, a former program leader, said, "His life was dedicated to preventing this type of stuff from happening.

Does the incident suggest that the effort failed?

Right; as the European colonizers/settlers leave, these places descend into Darwinian horrors.
