Baltimore mayor touts 'Safe Streets Zone' success

BALTIMORE —Despite the continuing violence, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is celebrating crime reduction more than a year without a deadly shooting in a Safe Streets Zone.

Rawlings-Blake called the success an important milestone for the city.

The mayor said thanks to the Safe Streets team and the community for the hard work they've done in reducing violence. The last fatal shooting in Cherry Hill was April 22, 2014.

The Safe Streets team recognized the accomplishment with a cookout, games and other family-oriented activities.

The team and members of the community have mediated conflicts that could have led to shootings.

Put a FENCE around that part of town; just like the prisons.

The inept mayor needs to tell the families of the last 40 people murdered what a success safe streets are.

The Safe Streets team also rid itself of many of the area's worst bad actors, many of whom are now in state and federal prisons. Or dead.

So...there's a whole block in the city of Baltimore where there hasn't been a deadly shooting in a year?

Woohoo! Let's bake a cake and celebrate!

p.s....note that the quantifier of the article is "deadly shooting". There's been shootings in the Safe Streets Zone, it's just no one has died in a shooting in that little area.

What a farce.

If anyone believes a word coming from Rawlings-Blake I have some ocean front property in Ohio really cheap I will sell you. She and Chief Batts have been doing the hippty dippity for last three years they both need to go. While your at it take that crooked State's Attorney with you. Moseby is a racist from the word go. All these old ass liberal White Women have created a lot of these issues. Ohbammy would have never been elected without them
