Don Surber was weighing in on the state of the shithole city known as Baltimore, Maryland. Used to be a gorgeous place when I lived in Boston 40 years ago. Lots of history there. Lots of culture. Now? Not so much. From Don:
Trump makes Baltimore the symbol of Democrats
Democrat Elijah Cummings enjoys a safe seat in Congress, so safe that the congressman thought he could front the clan that wants to impeach President Donald John Trump. In response, President Trump showed the nation how third world parts of Cummings' district in Baltimore is.
Baltimore's last Republican mayor was Theodore McKeldin, whose term ended 52 years ago. His successor was Nancy Pelosi's brother, Thomas D'Alesandro III.
The population was 939,024 and mainly white back then.
Now the population is 602,495 and mainly black.
In 2018, USA Today dubbed Baltimore the most dangerous city in America.
WJZ reported at the time, "The paper analyzed police crime data in the nation’s 50 biggest cities, which revealed Baltimore had the highest per capita murder rate in the nation with nearly 56 murders per 100,000 people—a record for the city. The rate outpaced New Orleans and Detroit, with a rate of 40 and 39 killings per 100,000 people, respectively.
"Baltimore’s 342 murders in 2017 was an increase from 318 in 2016."
On March 12, 2019, the New York Times published a piece by Alec MacGillis, "The Tragedy of Baltimore."
It noted that in the four years since the anti-police Freddie Gray "protests," crime ran out of control in Baltimore.
Of course, they were not protests. Even Obama admitted this, saying in 2015, "There's no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday. It is counterproductive.
"When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting. They're not making a statement. They're stealing. When they burn down a building, they're committing arson. And they're destroying and undermining businesses and opportunities in their own communities. That robs jobs and opportunity from people in that area."
But Obama and his administration nevertheless sided with the rioters.
Many more examples at the site. Hey Baltimore? You are the shining city on the hill for Democrats. This is the end-game of Democrat rule. Hey Democrats - you OWN Baltimore - it is your creation and there is nobody else to blame.
Some good comments to Don's post too.
