Black Crime in Baltimore High -- but Should be Higher
Crime in Baltimore is dropping like a pile of hot rocks. And Elliott Einbinder knows the reason why: It is hard to get arrested there.
Einbinder is a Jewish dentist who was attacked last week on his way to afternoon prayers near his office -- all in front of witnesses willing to tell police what they saw. Let’s pick up the story from Baltimore Jewish Life:
“One 24-year-old African American female followed him and sucker punched him on the side of his head, swelling his lip and breaking his glasses. She continued to throw punches as Dr. Einbinder tried to swat her away.”
"I thought this was a 15-year old boy. She was half my size and just didn't appear to be a female. I kept asking her why she was doing this to me; I said, 'I didn't anything to you'! She spat on me and according to one witness, she said, "C'mon, fight me Jew.”
“The attacker originally told police that the doctor began the altercation but when witnesses contradicted her story she admitted to the police that she was "just having a bad day."
“He is also upset at the way the laws are written in that the officers on the scene were unable to arrest her even with the tens of witnesses to this attack on hand. Apparently an attack of this sort is considered a 2nd Degree Assault and unless witnessed by a Police Officer, and/or unless any type of weapon is used an arrest cannot be made.”
More than 20 witnesses. A crime scene confession. A shaken victim, willing to press charges. And what happened?
Nothing.

ReplyDeleteThe sad part of this is the fact that no one has ever said that back in the day the white people did the exact same thing to blacks in baltimore! They would get on city busses and beat innocent black people! Black children could not safely walk home from school! It was bad! Don't try to deny it - I can say I lived in baltimore at this time! Now that it is the white people being beaten it is a disgrace! No one should be treated this way, but in this city it has been along time coming! It will not get better, because 90% of the cops there are crooked and worse than the criminals they refuse to arrest!
ReplyDeleteThis is how liberals bring down any bad statistic, they refuse to count it.
ReplyDeleteIf the crime is not charged it is not counted.
2nd Degree Assault, the victim needs to apply for charges at the District Court Commissioners Office. It's not the police's fault they can't arrest her without the victim first getting charges.
ReplyDeleteA citizen can't get charges against a juvenile. Only a police officer can complete a "Juvenile Referral" of the case to DJS (Dept of Juvenile Services).
ReplyDeleteAn arrest could have been made!
You bring up a valid historical point, Anon. 9:30. Those were dark times in our history-shameful and absolutely true..but more than likely completely unrelated.
ReplyDeleteso its not the gun ban in Baltimore that is reducing crime.
ReplyDeleteRe-read, she was 24, misdemeanor offense, refer to the commissioner. Unfortunately that's how Maryland laws are written. Of course, her statement, "C'mon, fight me Jew.” , would lead on to believe religion was one causative factor, which by definition would be a hate crime. Unfortunately the demographic of the suspect usually keeps that from being a criminal charge.
