Baltimore Mayor Jack Young said his administration doesn’t carry any responsibility for the increasing homicide rate in the city.
For the fifth consecutive year, Baltimore witnessed its 300th murder. Authorities confirmed the 300th murder on Thursday and noted the city is on pace to have its most violent year on record. The 300th murder in 2018 was recorded on Dec. 20, more than a month later than the city hit the bloody milestone in 2019.
In a press conference, Young said the violence isn’t the fault of his leadership. He noted that neither he nor Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison have committed any of the 300 murders that took place under their watch.

LOLOL bhow r those gun free zones working out.
Democrat leadership is almost nonexistent. Citizens continuing to support them and their philosophy substantiates Michael Savages statement that liberalism is a mental disorder. For a Mayor to take such a position regarding the homicide rate is both detestable and ignorant.
Spoken like a true leader.
Just keep shoveling money their way.
Northwest Woodsman: I sort of agree with him. It is not his fault that he presides over a community consisting predominantly of the criminally inclined. It is not his fault and I think that if anarchy prevails, the situation will remedy itself eventually as long as it is contained within the city of Baltimore.
You can’t get a more liberal excuse than that!
Why in the world are all these kids running around shooting people when Baltimore invested so much money in “reading benches” where people can sit down and read a book? Are the kids not taking advantage of the reading benches? Wow. Who would have known?
If the murder rate was the lowest in the nation he would be loudly proclaiming it was due to his leadership!
Watch The Wire.
