| Baltimore Now Tied With Venezuela |
| 2017-12-23 |
| [ZEROHEDGE] Once again this year, the Brennan Center for Justice has analyzed violent crime stats from the 30 largest cities in America to provide some insight on national trends. Not surprisingly, this year's report is full of more bad news for the residents of cities like Baltimore and Chicago that have experienced devastating spikes in homicides over the past two years. Looking at homicides per capita in 2017, Baltimore is clearly the most dangerous large city in the U.S. with a murder rate that is more than 4x the average of other large cities and some 40% higher than the second most dangerous city of Detroit. To put things in perspective, the murder rate in Baltimore is now exactly tied with Venezuela at 57.2 murders per 100,000 residents. |

| #7 Bone chilling numbers. City's run by liberals and their criminal offspring. Scary as a female yoga instructor's toy date with Hillary. |

| #4 Are the Baltimore mayoral officials still in office? The prosecuting attorney? Others involved officials? Just wondering if they have resigned or was voted out or what. Only fair since they caused this FUBAR. |

| #2 We've got a horserace. Baltimore has worked hard to achieve this distinction; they may soon surpass Venezuela. |
