Baltimore Residents Fearful Amid Rash Of Homicides

[Common]

Like I keep saying over and over ITS THE GOOD PEOPLE THAT SUFFER for the scumbags.

Somehow im sure there will be those on the forum that will blame the police for this now.

A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimore’s 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the city’s deadliest in 15 years. Meanwhile, arrests have plunged: Police are booking fewer than half the number of people they pulled off the streets last year.

Arrests were already declining before Freddie Gray died on April 19 of injuries he suffered in police custody, but they dropped sharply thereafter, as his death unleashed protests, riots, the criminal indictment of six officers and a full-on civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department that has officers working under close scrutiny.
“I’m afraid to go outside,” said Antoinette Perrine, whose brother was shot down three weeks ago on a basketball court near her home in the Harlem Park neighborhood of West Baltimore. Ever since, she has barricaded her door and added metal slabs inside her windows to deflect gunfire.

“It’s so bad, people are afraid to let their kids outside,” Perrine said. “People wake up with shots through their windows. Police used to sit on every corner, on the top of the block. These days? They’re nowhere.”

We should make more laws denying law obeying citizens their right to mount a suitable defense.

We need community policing. Similar to community watch but with deputized block leaders, with effin GUNS!

If I could change things a little:

I would probably do all I could to limit funding, by the federal government, through grants and the like, for police expansions. I would try to put more of the load on the citizens to control their neighborhoods as well. I think less confrontation can be a good thing and community policing is where it is at. I do not believe that a police office should live two counties over and not have a clear understanding and feel for the area he is policing.

What's the word from Lapierre ?

What's the word from Lapierre ?

"If she had been allowed to have a gun and defend herself the criminal would be dead"

[Mister D]

What's the word from Lapierre ?

Ask him when he gets home.

[Susan B. Anthony]

Maybe if more people shared their feelings there wouldn't be so much violence.

What's the word from Lapierre ?

He said you were a $#@!in $#@! and all the white neighborhoods cheered and agreed

[Peter1469]

He said, you people will be fine if we outlaw murder.

[Susan B. Anthony]

We don't have these problems in the Castro District.
