Hogan: Not acting on Baltimore violent crime 'is outrageous & unacceptable'

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) - Asked about anti-crime bills moving through the Maryland General Assembly, Gov. Larry Hogan again blasted the staggering violent crime in Baltimore City and said "it's outrageous and unacceptable" to not be tough on violent offenders.

"It's very, very frustrating to me, because the violent crime, which has taken over Baltimore City, is something that is not only of critical important to the residents of Baltimore City, who are afraid to live in their own neighborhoods, but it's of concern to people all across the state," said Hogan at this morning's press conference.

"We have a bill to try to push tough sentencing [for] repeat violent offenders, who have multiple times been convicted of committing a felony with a gun, and it's not getting any traction," he continued.

Dear people of Maryland ,
You have chosen the people running the city of Baltimore. Very poor choices with the crime rate so high. Let me see now why is this city so violent ?
Mmmm , police hands are tied with restrictions , Cannot arrest anyone , gangs are allowed to ruin and destroy police vehicles without any retaliation , not allowed to use lethal force even if criminal is armed , for God's sake don't arrest a black man , the shit will fly. I could go on and on and on , mainly they don't punish criminals anymore , a smack on the wrist unless you are white.

No good adopting any laws because they don't enforce them at all. Tough sentencing ? That's a boat load of crap , you know it and I know it.

Yeah really, just keep that crap within city limits. And have at it. Bang bang.

Sorry Hogan but you can't pick and choose which laws you want to enforce. You allow illegals into this state **MS 13** and allow them to legally drive. How can one legally drive if they are in the country illegally?

Mr Hogan you are the Governor. Last time I checked you have the power to fix this. It cant be done with taxpayer money only leadership.Send in the National Guard , shoot to kill armed thugs let MSP take over their police force and get rid of the current Baltimore leadership! Maybe you could call on President Trump for advice. I guarantee he would get Baltimore under control.

Violent crime will go away with carry permits.

Yeah, and I'm sure that all MS 13 gang members fill out the appropriate paperwork for the guns that they carry, just like every member of every other gang.

Hogan change right to carry and let the ones that passes the background check when buying a weapon and wants to carry allow them. That is a Constitutional right. You are starting to act like you are a Governor for the people but it is a coverup of your failures. You are covering up your pill of BS by trying to plant flowers over it to cover your smell. Never again Hogan.

Oh please when was the last time any of you where in Baltimore ? The Walters Gallery the BMA the Visionary Art Museum ? Things are not that bad if your not looking for a NASCAR race or Gun show. You'd thing people with such opinions actually had the balls themselves to go and find out what's actually going on. A good mugging might do you well.

Keep on voting Democrat, folks, and your problems will go away, just like your freedoms and your paycheck.

2:53 Unfortunatley for me I make several trips to Baltimore yearly. Not sure about the mugging part cause I’m carrying but for me it’s the homeless beggars, graffiti , and overall stench of the city that turns me off 🤷‍♀️

@2:53 I have to go to Baltimore on a regular basis as well to veterans hospital and I don't know what your smoking. It's an absolute mess up there. "People of color" just lined up from corner to corner. Lexington market is nothing more than an air drug market now. You have people of Spanish decent standing around 10-12 deep supposedly working on the streets/infrastructure with pieces of steel laid over portions of the streets tearing up my vehicle. If it's so bad why the F*** don't you and all your liberal socialist buddies move up there and leave us the F*** alone down here. I'd much rather watch NASCAR and be able to understand wtf their saying than listen to the drama from NFL NBA. A bunch of drama queens always looking for praise cause I plays ball. Give me 'da ball

First thing, force mayor to resign, then appoint someone to take over and then call the police officers in and talk to them about wha they need .
