WASHINGTON — As the homicide rate in the nation’s capital drops, it is a much different story 40 miles north in Baltimore, Maryland, where murders are soaring to record levels.
A deadly shooting on Wednesday marked Baltimore’s 146th homicide so far this year — the highest number the city has ever recorded during the first five months of a year, as first reported by the Baltimore Sun.
The number of homicides is more than 30 percent higher than this time last year and the number has climbed about 85 percent when compared to three years ago.
“No one is proud of this violence,” said Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith in May. “It shouldn’t be tolerated. We should be doing what we can to make sure there is not another person who is associated with that number.”

What do expect after the decisions DOJ handed down after the riots? A sanctuary city with drug dealers , gangs, illegals, what more crime supporters do you need?
Instead of climate control its population control. Keep at it thugs
As long as they only kill each other....
BLDFM!
You wanna stop the violence? Stop the destruction, you stop the destruction by voting out all the democrats that have destroyed that city and they intend to do it to the whole state of MD. VOTE those idiots OUT!!!
Spot on 333. Spot ON!
LOL Md has always been a democrat controlled state and still is. Electoral votes went to Hillary in case you forgot.
This is what life is like for black residents of Democrat cities and states.
"...doing what we can to make sure there is not another person who is associated with that number."
Ridiculous.
That statement was uttered 25-30 years ago when it began to be a danger to walk anywhere outside of the confines of HarborPlace.
LE has had their hands tied in that town for as long as I can remember.
True leadership is the only answer.
I'm telling you, it's those darned Confederate statues! Take them down and that will fix everything. They will all learn to read and write, and speak English, and start looking for executive positions in upper management.
Everyone on here putting Baltimore down and Salisbury isn'y much better. Police do very little, democrat mayor and gangs.
Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago and so on are nothing but Democratic plantations for African Americans who refuse to acknowledge that 60 plus years of loyalty to the Democratic party has been a total failure.
3:52 Add Salisbury to that list. Democrat and gay mayors.
