Go Baltimore! Beat NYC in homicides!
Baltimore has surpassed New York City for homicides this year.
A New York Police spokeswoman said the city had seen 208 homicides as of Wednesday. Baltimore recorded its 213th homicide Wednesday night.
It's a seemingly impossible milestone -- New York has more than 8.4 million people, Baltimore just 620,000.
New York peaked with 2,245 homicides in 1990, but that number has been tumbling and hit a historic low in 2014, with 328.
Baltimore saw a peak of 353 killings in1993, and recorded 211 homicides in 2014.
What could have possibly led to this? Hmmm. Ima stumped. Fred -Under "organizations" terror tab, there's no Democrat Politicians. Can you fix that?
