57 murders in 50 days. Baltimore continues to be a murder zone....

Some will blame the criminals.
Some will blame the Police.

I see you've made your choice.

BTW, if you are near Daytona Beach this guy right here shot a cop in the head last night.

Interesting. You quoted the wrong person. I didn't blame the police for anything. Another poster said they are doing nothing.

I already saw his picture. I'm not in Florida. Can you fail less please?
 
the last 57 days? here are the faces of some of the victims (wives/girlfriends/exes and sometimes kids) who have been gunned down in the last 57 days by their husbands/boyfriends/exes. i do admit that they're from all over...

Those 5 pics above (one entire family) are from the last 3 days. Should I continue for the entire 57 days?

I doubt that Daytona Beach is in Baltimore....
 
Unfortunately, after researching this topic a bit yesterday, it looks like the pandemic has helped exacerbate mental health issues which could be contributing to this.
More pathetic Liberal excuses. It is not the actions of a few varifiably mentally ill but of the criminal behavior perpetrated by low lifes. Or as the left believes, it is the result of guns run amok?

Point went over your head I see. I am not surprised.
 
Well, if you want to be better understood be more clear of thought.
I can only simply concepts so far before losing the original concept. Step up.

There is also the desperation caused by the increased poverty because of the shutdown of the economy.

Yeah, the left believes guns are alive.

quote
We won't stand up and allow our government to help us, and ensure our banks loan to those who can and will design and produce good quality products, and manage their production and manage their growth to not excessively continue borrowing when there is not market shares developed to the level to support the debt.
We have people who created good products and its goes to shit, the minute they get greedy and "go public"... its then no longer the company that the original designer and producers created. It's gets sucked up in the Monopoly game, and quality declines, price increase and deception of name brand becomes nothing but a con delusion, of what it use to be.

We can change all of that... but not as long as we fight against any and every bill and measure that is designed to help, benefit, and contribute to the American People, as person as individual, and as community, city and state.

Our result is every kind of depression related condition from poverty that breeds crime, to mayhem in the family, to people going into violent rages of every type., to the ravages of drug situation trying to numb the distresses with addictive substances, then we promote more guns. We treat violent death as a commonality that we've found means to accept it by the simple pointing of fingers.

lot of words, no real solutions. Sounds like a call for socialist redistributionist nonsense without coming out and saying it.
 
Actually, I agree that this is an economic issue as well as a criminal one. The trouble is, the people who run Baltimore have been allowed to run it into the ground with piss-poor management. Each step of bad decisions put another nail in the coffin of Baltimore. What I don't like is that the people who are responsible for the downfall of a once great city do not get the fault for their actions. Baltimore didn't just up and die in a day. It took years of bad policy decisions to do this. I blame it on decades of democratic politicians. Yes, greedy corporations are partially to blame, but the lions share goes to the politicians who allowed, and in some cases actually caused, it to happen.
 
Well, as some people have said or implied, some or even most of the VICTIMS were not exactly model citizens themselves.

The people who are responsible are the ones who commit robberies, sucker punchings, looting, rapes & murders.

They certainly do NOT "get the fault for their actions."

I'm placing just as much blame on the politicians who allowed this to happen. If Baltimore had GOOD LEADERSHIP, it wouldn't be this bad.

Actually, there is no solid correlation between changes in unemployment rates, and crime rates.

E.g. unemployment soared in 2008, while crime rates continued to fall.

Similarly, unemployment obviously spiked last year and... crime rates actually fell in 2020.

Much of the damage of both downturns was mitigated by enhanced unemployment and, currently, moratoriums on evictions. But it's more that simplistic claims like "unemployment causes crime" are just flat-out wrong. 🤷‍♂️
