Baltimore recently instituted a "violence reduction initiative" amid a sharp increase in homicides, and this week, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh did a walk-through in some of the affected neighborhoods, doling out anti-violence advice of her own.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Pugh suggested that, to combat loitering and gang violence, local grocery stories might consider shutting their doors a little earlier.
“What time do you-all close?” the mayor reportedly asked one man at a local shop.
“11:30,” the man replied, according to the Sun.

ReplyDeleteMaybe they should all close permanently and get the heck out of Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteIs that early enough, madam Mayor???
Says the mayor with huge salary, paid vacations, pension and retirement along with free healthcare ( not to mention favors) to business owners who have to earn theirs !
ReplyDeleteGenius! If you don't want to get robbed just close your store. The fine people who live in these affected areas wonder why no one will invest in their neighborHOODS.
ReplyDeleteShe has to be joking! If the stores close early, thugs will just break in and take what they want.
ReplyDeleteReally simple to stop crime, pass a city ord. that allows concealed carry for merchants.
