Something Went Wrong In Baltimore

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It has been a bloody year in Baltimore, that much everyone knows, but as The Economist shows, something changed dramatically after Freddie Gray's death in April...

On November 14th the police department reported the city’s 300th homicide in 2015, a total not seen since 1999.

 

The surge in killings in the majority-black city of roughly 623,000 began after the death on April 19th of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who was fatally injured while in police custody. Since Mr Gray’s death the city has recorded 244 homicides, a 78% increase over the same period in 2014, representing more than 100 additional deaths.

Criminologists and city officials disagree as to the causes:

  • Some say police have deliberately pulled back from poor, black neighbourhoods, a theory that the police disputes.
  • Others blame an influx of drugs from pharmacies looted during the April riots.
  • A third theory is that a decline in trust between the police and the policed has had deadly consequences: fewer residents talk to the police, which leads to fewer murders being solved, which - by lowering the odds of being caught - results in more murders.

Whatever the reason, the killing continues. Just hours after the 300th murder, police reported a shooting in the city’s Westport neighbourhood, the fourth homicide of the day. The total for the year now stands at 305.

What went wrong was Obama and his Red Guards agitating and stirring up shit, with the agreement and organization from the the DOJ.

I remember watching a helicopter flyover of the Baltimore riots and laughing when the news anchors described the rioters as "disenfranchised". The party niggers vote for hasn't lost a city election in four decades -- I wish I were so "disenfranchised"!

Seems like you don't like to face reality.  Reality being what the various posters, other than you refer to.  I presume you live in an area other than one where negroes are in the majority. Members of that race shot me twice, so I will not go anywhere where negroes are numerous.

Since when did American Whites who live among or have lived among real dindus, not have the same views as Stormfront types?

What you call racism, any white exposed to dindusim (chimpouts, uncivilized behavior, black on white hatred and crime, etc) I call a survival instinct.

It's easy to spot 'goodWhites'. They love them some niggers because they've never spent any quality time with niggers.  They can be easily converted to race realism by spending some time getting culturally enriched.

Personally, after having conducted several 'awareness safaris' into deepest darkest dindustan (New Orleans) I decided the results weren't worth the risks to me, 

They can figure it out on their own, like I did.

Here's the bottom line, Mr Anti-White:  A dindu will kick your teeth in if you are white, just because you are white. You could be wearing a $blacklivesmatter T-Shirt, or a Shirt that says "End black crime, abort black babies" and it wouldn't make a goddamn bit of diffference to him or her.  They don't understand. They can't understand. What they do understand is that white skin=enemy. White skin=weak. White skin= easy victim.  It is up to White men to change that perception.

That has to change, but unfortunately people like trader1 here are the bigger part of the problem, because they refuse to go on safari, yet they also refuse to acknowledge that going on safari si incredibly dangerous even if prepared.

They won't wake up. They insult those of us who have been 'in country' out of ignorance and some sort of twisted and fanstastical idealism, that race doesn't matter.

I'm here to tell you that at least with those of Afrcian descent, it DOES MATTER. To them it matters more than any other thing. They are tribal 100%.

We are the ones who have gotten soft and forgotten hard lessons from the past.

Again, want some reality? Go on safari to the dindustan nearest you. See if you survive it intact. I dare you.

Then come back here and tell us safari veterans how nice those hyenas, err dindus in the 'hood actually are, and how they truly appreciated your anti-racist beliefs.

 

I won't hold my breath.

the politicians in washington will apply the MIC logic to fix this problem by hiring half the population as police (nice uniforms, salaries and pensions) and dropping leaflets (saying "free yourselves")and weaponss on the other half so that they can protect themselves against the police.

Way back in the early 90s, the Seattle public school sytem set things up so that the schools that had the lowest-scoring students were automatically given EXTRA MONEY, to help bring them up to standard.  This, predictably enough, led to even lower scores... and even more money.

Nationwide, the various levels of US government have been doing the same thing for the last 50 years. It's not stupidity, it's intent.

All of this is the result of programs designed supposedly to help blacks and the poor...but, instead resulted in the destruction of the black family unit....progressives are really condescending elitists and racists at heart.  Welfare, the projects, war on drugs, the "Great Society" and many other government policies and programs have created generational dependencies and control.....created what we see today.  Generational dependency....trapped by the very programs put in place to help advance them.  Any group so used, manipulated, and victimized would end up in a similar state.  Of course, that was the purpose.  What we see in Baltimore and other progressive utopias like Chicago ....is what we can expect to see for most of us in the future.

Its funny, Baltimore is building high-end housing near the inter harbor.  I have a friend who bought a newly constructed brownstone in sparrows point.  He moved from the burbs into the city.  Whites are moving back in, atleast in the southern part of city.

Growing animosity toward police/policing has resulted in a dramatic decline in Pro-active policing. Cops have taken the Eric Holder message to relax, back-off; be nonchalant and no longer take the initaitive to look for trouble; be strictly re-active to incidents in progress or to what's already occured. In other words, they'll only do the minimum needed to keep the paycheck. I'd feel the same were I one of them who have been spat upon. By connecting the dots, this entire issue is easily traced back to president Obama's policy of nonchalance. Next to LBJ who put them on welfare, Obama has been the worst enemy blacks have ever had in the Whitehouse.

There must be something these far left wing Democrat controlled cities have in common.

Since that liberal Bush privitaized the prisons, the prison population has exploded by 1600% (since 1990).

The fact that he started a private company that uses prison slave labor to manufacture items, previously made by US workers outside the prisons, further adds to the bottom line of the prisons.

Expect more laws to be passed making everything you do illegal, punishable with jail time, while you chase African Americans around the block.

Why doesn't FBI arrest you along with your buddies here. You are inciting violence? Why do we spend all those billions of dollars subsidizing whites collecting personal data on Americans when all the collection ends up in waste bin?

They should also tie crime rate in Baltimore to Police compensation like they tie school performance to teachers' salaries? If the crime rate goes up, fire cops and replace them with more capable policing-set up charter police stations?

FBI STATS 2014.

( Just a FWIW,and my opinion)Lower the testosterone levels in blacks and cut crime in half or more.(also would allow blacks to live longer lives compared to all other races.)

The inconvienent truth is that races and peoples evolve at different rates... and blacks are WAY behind... and will not catch up anytime soon... since just a few hundred years ago, they were either slaves or tribal hunter/gatherers... primatives... prone to violence, aggression and rampage... how the hell can anyone expect them to behave the same as cultures/races that have been "civilized"/advanced for many hundreds of years more, aside from a few notable exceptions?  Being closer to the original, violent and lower intellect animal that was primative man, they require forced discipline, not coddling, freebies and "PC" liberal apologists... now we understand why segregation was far more successful than todays insanity in dealing with race issues.

I agree with you; however based on an an evolutionary lie we have been fed; his viewpoint logical and rational.  The Biblical view values all life and takes a lot less faith to believe all things created were created by a Creator than the universe came from nothing and man evolved from apes or the goo to you via the zoo or "by chance"...all illogical views except something created has a creator.

Similar things have happened in other cities as police are "pulling back" because they are damned when they do and damned when they do not, but backing off is the easier alternative.  The Mayor hasn't helped that situation & "political correctness" along with race baiting exacerbates the problems as well.

 

The black culture has changed much since the 60's; really unrecognizable and sadly many other cultures within the US are changing as the trust among people is probably at all time lows. A person's word means nothing and the example comes from the top and filters down; where there is real moral leadership there is a strong nation and where it lacks the society disintegrates.  We are dying in much the same way of the Roman Empire.

 

Social welfare demeans human value as do many other immoral activities.  We are in trouble because of forced dependencies based off a totally corrupt system(s).  Better to be poor with integrity.

As a former resident of charm city, i can attest to the deline of the inner city of Baltimore during my 60 years of being there.

Also some very nice places to live in the city. Problem is you better make 100k plus to afford them. I read somewhere recently that herion addiction per person is the highest in the nation per person. That has a lot to do with the elavated murder rate. Read a book called the corner. It was also a HBO series about the inner city and the root causes the decay of the town.  I ran away to the mountians, glad to gone.  Also a hbo series.......the wire...... is proably pretty true to life about the city.
