"Alarming Surge In Murders And Shootings In Baltimore"

"Dozens of shooting and murders in the last few weeks following the riots last month."
Christie Ileto reports some are concerned police are hesitant to crack down after six officers were charged in the death of Freddie Gray.

“People have said its because morale is down, or it’s because the officers were charged. We don’t know that,” said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

A Baltimore police officer who chose to remain anonymous says the Freddie Gray case impacted policing.

“If you want them to be proactive in patrolling and trying to catch people, I could see them not being interested in doing that,” the officer said.

And here I thought Baltimore blacks only died at the hands of white cops.

"Community leaders say curbing the violence means solving a systemic problem."

They not willing to admit that what they've done has not only not worked but made the problem worst.

Like drug addicts.

My favorite John Derbyshire line

For all the bellyaching about "white supremacy," the evidence is that when there aren't whites around to supervise things, blacks sink into poverty and helplessness.

But he takes it as data, and I take it as an important challenge to blacks. Switch leaders, guys.

As I've said earlier. Blacks are their own worst enemies and they don't have whitey to blame. Oh wait. Even when whitey hasn't been around in decades, it's still whitey's fault.

They're having trouble raising money to bury the latest casualty. Perhaps the family of Trayvon Martin can donate a portion of the money they were awarded to this worthy cause. Maybe Suge Knight and Ray Lewis could chip in.

There is a silver lining to accelerated thug-on-thug murder rates.

Does the word, vigilante, suddenly have relevance?

The black community is going to have to solve its own problems. I don't think they'll listen to paternalistic white people.
