With murders skyrocketing in Baltimore, feds begin sending help

Through the first four months of 2017, Baltimore has experienced its highest murder rate in recorded history — and now federal officials are sending in some help.

Mayor Catherine Pugh last week asked for more federal resources to combat the city's surge in shootings, robberies and carjackings. On Tuesday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives plans to begin using a gun-tracing van in Baltimore to try to quickly solve gun crimes.

Daniel L. Board Jr., the ATF Baltimore Field Division special agent in charge, called the gun-tracing technology and the national database it connects to a "critical piece to solving and preventing gun violence in Baltimore."

Ditch the prevalence of section 8 housing, welfare, food stamps, and let folks concealed carry so everyone knows everyone could be packing and able to shoot back! Start throwing these thugs in jail for their crimes instead of letting them blow-off-steam!

Welfare = no work = freebies = no sense of self worth = liberal voters = obama.

You don't need the feds, you just need to stop voting democrat.

Concealed carry, end of problem. No one robbes or rapes an armed citizen if they're smart.

There's the chance of a snowball surviving Hell that Baltimore will ever be anything but a Democratic stronghold. Therefore, look for it to be a money sucking enterprise into eternity.

Enough already with ideas. Solution is SIMPLE - giant wall around Baltimore. Make it a prison ala "Escape from New York". Crap stays in, rest get out. Feed the animals one Sunday a month from oh..8am-9am. Come to think of it, you can do the same for MANY cities in the US. Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincy, Hotlanta, LA.

Kidding aside, one can't help others who can't help themselves. B-more and Chi-town are truly a mess!

If you enforce the law you are called racist if you don't enforce the law you're called racist. Democrats historically hate Blacks and have created a situation where Blacks are victimized by other Blacks and nothing is done about it and they don't get blamed.

You can thank the previous Mayor and District attorney and her City councilman husband for the escalation of this mess... we must give them them room to destroy and give them space to express themselves! They own it, they should be paying for it!

If I was a cop in Baltimore, I'd take my time to every call and get there juust in time to make the report. No sense in going after the bad guys cause the citg will screw over the cops. The decenf peopld need to find a way to leave and just let the ganstas kill each other.

It would help a lot if they kept the criminals locked up instead of a slap on the wrist and they are back on the streets doing the same thing.
