What to know what Chicago and Baltimore have in common?
Lots of things, including horrific violence and a long-time control by big city Democrats.
Baltimore has a new problem, in that the police have been demoralized by the arrest of six cops in the death of some scumbag who beat his head against the wall of a paddy-wagon until he broke his own neck. Cops, seeing the Democrat low-information local politicians chucking them under the bus, have pretty much stopped their police work in that city. In fact, some community activists have been complaining about not seeing a cop in their neighborhoods since the “Black Lives Matter” riots there a few weeks ago.
Well, buddy, decisions have consequences.
Feral thugs in Maryland’s largest city (population about 620,000) have taken advantage of the situation and are running wild. Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend in Baltimore, there were nine murders and an additional 29 people shot and wounded, per CBS Baltimore. No numbers were given on rapes, stabbings, or other violence crimes, but one can just about imagine those numbers were equally appalling.
Of course, Baltimore’s low-information Democrat “leaders” are clueless on what to do, aside from standing behind their city’s motto of “The Greatest City in America”. What a joke that is.
Frankly, with the incompetent mayor there getting elected with about 84% of the vote, I’m inclined to say that 84% of Baltimore’s residents are reaping the whirlwind of the political hacks they elected.
It probably won’t surprise you to know that there are no “Black Lives Matter” rallies after the violence this past weekend in “The Greatest City in America” because the only black lives that matter are those ended at the hands of white cops and white law-abiding civilians carrying guns.
Black on black deaths? There’s nary a peep.
In sheer numbers of victims though, Baltimore can’t hold a candle to Chicago.
Chicago’s numbers this weekend were even more appalling:
Once again, nobody gives us the count on rapes, stabbings and other horrific violent crime that most folks think only happens to “someone else”. Until it happens to them.
The race of the suspect and victims?
Is there a Black Lives Matter rally to protest this crazy violence?
Nope.
Given that Baltimore only has less than a quarter of Chicago population, their criminal violence numbers are truly horrific on a per capita basis.
Black lives don’t matter to Democrat politicians, Marxist agitators, race baiters and the press.
You can’t have a good old-fashioned righteously indignant protest if you can’t blame the problem on someone or something else.
Question: Why do black lives only matter when they are killed by white folk?
Answer: the ghetto lottery.
