‘Out of control': Murder rate in Baltimore worst ever, Chicago paces record high |
2017-05-02 |
[RT] New crime numbers show the murder rate in Chicago is keeping up with the record set in 2016, while homicides in Baltimore have reached such alarming levels that the mayor is getting federal assistance and requesting more support from the FBI. For the first time in nearly 20 years, the city of Baltimore, Maryland, has experienced more than 100 murders before the end of April. After five people were killed last weekend, the total number of homicides in 2017 ticked up to 108, according to the Baltimore Sun. The last time the city experienced more murders by this point was 1993. Since the population was greater in 1993, this year marks the city’s highest murder rate per capita ever, according to the Baltimore Sun. The murder rate in the city is up more than 30 percent compared to last year. Violent crime, shootings and robberies have also gone up by double-digit percentages from last year. |

#13 In a different city I saw an old black man trying to hold off three young black people on a transit system. Young black people in large urban areas are debased. |

#12 Since the population was greater in 1993 Another fine example of population control by Dims. |

#9 Correlation between murder rate and population density is very striking. Urban constituent clustering, the downside. Without it, we'd have no Rep. Maxine Waters or Elijah Cummings. |

#8 Article at Zerohedge today about how 51% of the murders occur in 2% of the counties. Correlation between murder rate and population density is very striking. |

#7 Would a 10% reduction in rates put the city in acceptable 'control' parameters ? |

#6 Wall off all the Vibrant! parts of the country, make virtue signalling liberals live in those same places, and let natural selection do its work. |

#5 M-13 was active in Baltimore up until a few years ago -- police and federal action took out most of the leaders and stash -- M-13 is probably making a recovery now in Balt given the lower level of policing |

#4 if i were a police officer there, I would punch in and punch out, since the citizenry and political structure is ungrateful. |

#2 in Baltimore there are some particularly violent gangs - one, calling themselves the Murderland Mafia, is a offshoot of the Blood, another calling themselves, Black Gorillas - they have been battling for territory |

#1 Yea, well, but - at least - the cops are not being accused of racism. |
