Baltimore Finally Asks The Feds To Help Them With Their Murder Problem
2018-06-21
[Hot Air] With the heat of the summer upon us, the murder rate in Baltimore, Maryland is once again climbing back up. Still not as bad as the previous two years, but it was a late spring and the gangs have started making up for lost time. This past weekend five people were killed and seven more injured in various shootings around the city. Knowing that things are only going to get worse as we move into July and August, the Police Commissioner and the Mayor announced this week that a "summer surge" of law enforcement was coming and they are requesting help from federal agencies to battle "the worst of the worst" among Charm City’s violent criminal element.

#13  I always hated those "Motor Gently" license plates. Loved to watch Michigan drivers run them off I-68

#2  Baltimore doesn't want to spend the money to deal with this problem. It cuts too much into their grafts.

Rather what they are apparently trying to do is shift the responsibility and cost to the feds.
