baltimore: 200 homicides

danb · Nov 7, 2013

The dept is quick to point out that most are linked to drugs, gangs, prior violence. Well then I feel better!

Too bad Frosh prevented the Senate from putting stiffer penalties for weapons crimes.

Every time there is a burglary, home invasion suspect, look em up. probation. suspended sentence. but they dud just enough time in jail to learn some skills and "network".

Anyone think crime is going anywhere but up under Brown/Frosh? But hey, lets give tge inmates tablets to make there stay more comfy like a Holiday Inn.

Mr H · Nov 7, 2013

Whew... I was afraid they might not make 200!!

This state is a complete and total sham anymore... We have GOT to find ways to take it back.

Just got to wait until the guns already on the street run out of boollitts, then the bad guys won't be able to get new guns since they won't qualify for the new license. It just takes time for our dear leaders plans to fully take effect.

On pace for 230 / yr .

Unless thugs take Christmas off

I don't mind its so high. As noted above if that's the case then what we are seeing here is more of a service to the community.

And according to a quick Google we've lost 107 soldiers in an actual freaking war zone this year.

Yup nothing to see here folks. Keep reelecting the same old same old. You'd think the city residents would get tired of burying their young and family but it seems acceptable.

200 was reached this morning.

But one life saved is better than nothing, especially for the children.....

MAIG version would be thats 200 more lives lost to gun violence....

MD laws would send the perp to jail, for 5 years allow him to serve 1 and be let out because he got good credits and he would be back out on the street again doing it again.

O'malley will stab Obama in the back and say Hey, Baltimore is doing better than Obama hometown of Chicago with 50% less murders...

Trbo6gn · Nov 7, 2013

There have been 3 white people murdered this year. 3

Mr H · Nov 7, 2013

From a WBAL article regarding last year's totals:

According to police officials, there were 217 murders in the city in 2012, 20 more than the 197 recorded in 2011

It was blamed on "rival gangs"

Demographics linked HERE (note the nearly 80% of suspects with prior records)

D.C. recorded 88 homicides in 2012, the lowest number there in 50 years.

Plus, we have more than double the rate (per 100k) than DC.

Right now, Baltimore is on pace for something north of 225.

Yay, Chairman Martinet O'MAOlley.
Yay, Princess Stephanie of the Baltimorons.
(I've noticed both of them have been strangely silent lately)

Now, bring on the excuses for higher taxes for more funding to "fight crime", and the cycle can begin again.

Baltimore schools produce gang members faster than there are openings in the illicit pharmaceutical distribution industry.

I decided to compose a letter to the MDGA regarding this. Was it Del. M. Smiegiel who introduced removing the possibility of early release for those convicted of a crime with a gun?

That's racist.

Oh wait.

Streetgang · Nov 7, 2013

Wall off the city and let them have at it. It should be a self healing wound. Eventually they kill each other off.

I know, that's really not the answer but it makes me feel good to say that.

nedsurf · Nov 7, 2013

Thanks for the history help. It is a shame it is a small percentage of the population committing these murders and it is pointed to to justify placing further restrictions on everyone's firearms ownership by unscrupulous legislators. 2014!

We really need to get a record of who voted AGAINST this "common sense" amendment and get it out to voters for 2014.

SO if Baltimore exceeds its murder number for this year can it be said SB281 actually cost lives after implementation.

Sure, why not.

But they'll come back and say "More is needed! We had all the really cool stuff ripped out of the bill by the gun nuts, so we need MORE this time!"
