BALTIMORE (AP) -- Baltimore reached a grim milestone on Friday, three months after riots erupted in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police custody: With 43 homicides in July, the city has seen more bloodshed in a single month than it has in 43 years.
The 43rd recorded homicide was Jermaine Miller, 18, who was shot in the head just before noon the day before.

Baltimore reached a grim milestone.... I thought the phrase "grime milestone" only applied to Bush and Cheney.

It seems that the only time crime goes “down” is when enough career criminals are incarcerated.

I “lived” 30+ years in the WDC area and visited baltimore a number of times. It is not a pleasant city. Even in the “tourist areas” you are at considerable risk. There are no high fences to keep the ferals away from you. Good luck visiting there...especially after dark.

Oh, bull. A typical urban scaredy cat. I visit about two or three times a year and have never had any trouble. I don't hang out in the inner city, of course, usually Fell's Point. Great drinking joints.

Thank you Obama holder and the horrible mayor there.

Barrys constituents would all nod their heads and go Mmm hmm! Dats right! True, and I doubt that any white liberal would live in the DC unless he/she could afford a home in the "right" neighborhood. Hypocrisy is every liberal's middle name.

Who is killing who?We all know it's black on black murders.
The media never report it though; if you ignore it, maybe it'll just go away.

The “bitch” quote came immediately to mind but Cobol’s were all new to me - with all of Barry’s time in WDC there must be a book or two of quotes like that ... ;-)

It’s not “crime”, it is “hunting season”....
And a general license has already been extended, by the removal of the game wardens.
Talk about opening a can of worms.
