Baltimore Murder Rate Surges Again In 2017 (Now Tied With Venezuela); Here's How Your City Fared...

Once again this year, the Brennan Center for Justice has analyzed violent crime stats from the 30 largest cities in America to provide some insight on national trends. Not surprisingly, this year's report has is full of more bad news for the residents of cities like Baltimore and Chicago that have experienced devastating spikes in homicides over the past two years.

Looking at homicides per capita in 2017, Baltimore is clearly the most dangerous large city in the U.S. with a murder rate that is more than 4x the average of other large cities and some 40% higher than the second most dangerous city of Detroit. To put things in perspective, the murder rate in Baltimore is now exactly tied with Venezuela at 57.2 murders per 100,000 residents.

Say Thanks to Mayor Blake-Rawlings for the "Give them room to roam". Laying in the bed with Black Lives Matter and pretending they care. What else would you expect in the town run by Crooked Democ-rats?

Who cares. Baltimore is getting what it deserves. They want to tear things up and riot over that thug Freddie Gray and this is the result. The police stopped being proactive and now they are blowing each others brains out in record numbers. Good Riddance garbage. Not one is worth any officer being charged by that lying skank Mosby like the 6 were.

Multi generational poverty, profound illiteracy, no skills, no jobs, a murderous culture, impotent government leadership in a failing city.
Oh, yeah, fifty plus years of Democrats in the driver's seat, with no obvious function than to do much more than throw other people's money at it and stay in office to make personal fortunes.

3:59 not one is worth either leo being killed over either. Let em all go and kill each other save the tax payers. If you're a good law biding innocent person i would suggest you get your game plan together to get out of that crap hole if you have't already. Blake and Mosby and that city council should have never given that stand down order to law enforcement and let the Gov get the Guard in there sooner. of course they didn't they are part of Obama's band of merry thugs.
