Baltimore isn't just back to 1990s-level homicide rates. It has surpassed them — and with a month and a half to go before the year's end.
Given the city's smaller population today, and the stack of killings that occurred in recent days, 2015 has officially become the deadliest year, per capita, in Baltimore history.
A man stabbed to death became the 300th homicide victim of 2015 on Saturday, the first time the city has reached that gruesome milestone since 1999. As of Tuesday evening, five more men had been shot dead, pushing the city's per capita homicide rate — based on the recent population estimate of 622,793 residents — to 48.97 per 100,000 residents. That breaks the record of 48.77 homicides per 100,000 residents set in 1993, when there were an estimated 723,802 city residents and the city hit its highest number of killings ever, with 353.

It’s your fault, O’Malley.
Apparently black lives don’t matter to blacks.
IT'S ANOTHER OBAMA FIRST !
Yeah, my n-word! We be numba onez up in dis beyotch! We runnin’ thangs like a muhfuh**a!
Baltimore has a good chance of exceeding 1993’s 353 in 2015.
I’d bet money on it.
That would put them @ >49 per, 3rd in the world behind Honduras and Venezuela. August company, that.
It’s your fault, O’Malley.
I can see it now. While I was Mayor and Governor the numbers were down significantly and now look at them. See what happens when I am not in power? Don’t give him any ideas. He is as much a lunatic as Bernie if not more.
Baltimore. Run by Democrats. Run by blacks. There’s a pattern in there somewhere.
So long as a white person doesn't do it, they are apparently fine with it.
Obviously, this is more proof of global warming!
Does Baltimore still attract any convention business?
Arrest the police
St. Louis has also gone into a crime meltdown since the Ferguson debacle. Apparently a big “Black Lives Matter” protest in a city leads to lots more black lives being extinguished in the following months.
Good
Wow, the racist cops have been busy.
Pray America wakes
Great job.
It won’t be long until they have that model Black city working just the way they wanted it.
Ok people of Baltimore, Say it again, say it loud and say it with feeling, “I - HAVE - A - DREAM”. There you go folks, that is your Promise Land....enjoy.
Sadly, there are probably some good folks in that city, but it’s not going to survive their corrupt leaders.
They are the ones who elected a hyphenated mayor she is not letting them down.
= more white flight, more gun purchases.
No whites to blame, nothing to see here.
Way to go Baltimore. Taxing the rain and now this! It just don’t get any better. How ‘bout dem DemocRATS.
