Is the last sentence true? Are convicted killers in Baltimore not even getting jail time?

The murder rate in America’s deadliest big city is twice that of increasingly violent Mexico.

But they still vote Rat, overwhelmingly. Baltimore needs adult supervision. The children have been running it for decades.

It appears so. If you’re going to do some killing, that looks like the place to go. Of course, that means you’re a target also. I’m steering clear of there.

They got the suck they voted for I guess.

Apparently putting murderers in prison is racist.

After Sandy and the subsequent snowy nor’easter hit NYC and Long Island local tree service guys were overwhelmed. My service brought in teams from Md and Va. The guys who worked on my property were from Balt. They were skilled and friendly I asked them about The Wire. They all laughed and said it was a good show, but understated crime in Balt by a lot.

There’s got to be a mathematical finite point where there is no one left to shoot. In the meantime Baltimore, just keep your hearing protectors handy.

“Don’t matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain’t no going back. I mean, shit, it’s what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight.” – Slim Charles

It’s a revolving door. Gov Hogan shut down the inner city prison when first in office. That place was a disaster. Female Guards were pregnant by inmates (mostly inmate and leader of the Black Gorilla gang) and were also gang members of The Black Gorilla Gang. These guards were smuggling contraband regularly. The corruption was/is unbelievable. They treat criminals with kit gloves all in the name of fighting racism.

Now Cummings has retired and has been replaced with Kweisi Mfume. The thing is - part of this district is shared with Columbia, MD - a part of Howard County. Howard is one of the wealthiest in the country. Baltimore and Howard are stark opposites. Cummings ignored his constituents in Columbia, Md (Howard County). This is a prime example of gerrymandering.

More on this ex NAACP member who will probably take Columbia, MD down with Baltimore.

A few years ago, I wrote a letter to the mayor of Baltimore, advising that they abandon their anti-gun stance and allow good people to carry arms for their own protection. The letter was neither responded to nor acted upon, and here we are with a spiraling murder rate, among the highest in the nation.

Wait: it’s February and they still haven’t finished counting dead people? Sounds like the guys who wrote the Iowa software are doing the counting.
