Baltimore Highbrows Know Why Auto Thefts Are Up 95%: It's the Cars' Fault
PJ Media ^ | 05/13/2023 | Kevin Downey Jr.

If the East Coast were to get a much-needed enema, they’d put the hose in Baltimore.

If you ask someone which U.S. city has taken the biggest beating from Marxist ideologies, they’ll likely say Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Portland (yawwwn), Austin, Memphis, Los Angeles, New York City (I can do this all day), Washington D.C. … You get the point.

But little attention is paid to Baltimore, which one website placed as the 10th most liberal city in America.

FACT-O-RAMA! A former Baltimore mayor once gave her street thugs “space to destroy” the city after career criminal Freddie Gray died in police custody. The feds declined to prosecute the six officers who came into contact with Gray after his arrest.

Baltimore — like almost every Democrat-run outhouse city — is reeling from the massive crime wave kicked off by the fine folks of BLM and their sister team, Antifa, in the wake of the departure of Saintly George Floyd.

The crime in Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood — a formerly safe locale full of bars, shops, and restaurants — got so bad in 2021 that local businesses threatened to stop paying taxes if something wasn’t done to stop the carnage.

Like most crimes in Baltimore, car thefts are surging — they’re up 95% from last year — and the city’s socio-wizards know why.

No, silly, it’s not the criminals enabled by the leaders of Bulletmore to blame; it’s the cars’ fault, you bigot.

Pulled from the “I sh*t you not” file, Baltimore is suing two car makers — Kia and Hyundai — for making cars that are too easy for their lovable thugs to steal.

100 or 200 years from now, when history books are being written about this time period, there will be a comparison of the death count from BLM and Antifa compared to the KKK. I wonder if this era will be named “The Great White Guilt” or “The Age of Apology”.

While I disagree with holding the manufacturers responsible for the actions of these jackasses, there is a grand amount of stupidity and chutzpah for the idiots to design a vehicle these days without taking security in mind. It’s incredibly easy to steal these vehicles. Break a window, open the door, break the molding around the column and turn the switch using the end of a USB cable. Less than fifteen seconds.

Wait til all these illegals arrive and are handed out drivers licenses - then watch the car robberies esculate.

They’re stealing cars and they hadn’t even managed to invent the wheel when we found them squatting in the mud on the dark continent.

y. The feds declined to prosecute the six officers who came into contact with Gray after his arrest…

The feds declined to prosecute but not the state attorney Marilyn Mosby. Several mistrials and acquittals later she gave up. BTW she is awaiting federal trial herself for financial shenanigans. Baltimore local government is a disgrace. I do not blame the BPD - they are understaffed and overwhelmed and get no political support from the mayor or anyone else. Meanwhile millions of $s are being poured into downtown - a new concert venue, a Top Golf facility as two examples - but most citizens don’t want to go there because of the roving gangs of urban … youths.

It’s incredibly easy to steal these vehicles.

Make it more difficult by buying a stick-shift manual transmission vehicle. Most thieves can't drive one.

And yet. When William Donald Schaefer was Mayor of Baltimore, the City had a wonderful renaissance, with tired old neighborhoods revitalized by his urban homesteading program and inner harbor initiatives. Subsequent Mayors ruined everything, black women with at least two or three resigning in disgrace for criminal activity. Poor old “Charm City”.

Democratics are so desperate to keep their core base of support, that they will never blame them for anything.

The mayor is actually trying to sue the carmakers.

From Pennsy, sorta related. One of the vehicles has been tracked to MD...

Note, though, that the guy who wrote the article refers to the theft of almost $300,000 worth of vehicles as a “caper”.
