    It seemed possible that concern over the pandemic might suppress the city’s longstanding plague of gun violence. The reprieve was short-lived.

    Since March 23, the city has seen 11 killings in 12 days, with at least 18 more people shot and wounded. That doesn’t include a man fatally shot by a police officer. March finished with 18 homicides, a number in line with what’s typically been recorded during the month in recent years.

    Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, said that while some of Baltimore’s violence might be attributed to the drug trade, it is often over simple beefs. In parts of the city, violence has become an accepted way to settle those disputes.

    “It’s a complex set of circumstances that lead to shootings,” he said. “The question will be: How much will they be interacting with one another? That’s a little less clear.”


    hmm, simple beefs. remember that time in 2013 he told us that the HQL would solve the plague of violence in the city? Funny, "Do you have a simple beef" is not on the HQL app. Yet. Maybe its coming soon!

    Incidentally:

    More people at home means lower rates of residential burglary because burglars tend to avoid occupied homes.

    well, duh. In the UK where they are disarmed, daylight burglary (aka home invasion) is common, because homeowners are not armed.

    So in the state where it takes 21 days to get permission to wait 7 days to buy the quintessential home defense weapon, the only remaining question is, got shotgun?

    Gotta love a paid mouth piece who has absolutely no clue about the issue. Hell even a better gig than being a weather man.
