Violence explodes in Baltimore over the holiday weekend

[truckboattruck]

You just insinuated that the reason these people can't behave in a civilised manner is due to a genetic component. It's rather obvious. You have no real argument to present either, you just made a stupid comment. I am responding to your stupid comment in an appropriate way, which is to call it out on its bullshit.

i insinuate that there is a genetic factor to social behavior.
and civilizations by extension

you have no data, no evidence to the contrary
so you call me names

graceless, but easier than admitting to blind faith i suppose

Is this even fucking news?! Just google any city and "memorial day shooting" and it seems the trend is shit tons of shootings and violent crimes happened in several major cities over the weekend. Or perhaps it's just typical but the headlines read well when it's a holiday weekend. I once listened to a police radio in NYC and by the time I had gotten over the GWB there were 3 shootings and a child kidnapping.

Well considering Baltimore's crime rate jumped up 60% since last year AFTER the riots, I'd say it is news.

Do you have sources on that, because Baltimore has always been a pretty dangerous city.

Diddin do nuffin. Sad that innocent people are getting hurt too.

Infracted

You have correlation, not causation. But continue to be a racist.

What is with the "diddin do nuffin" statement? It's just about as racist and sitting about saying "we hava fried rife"

Is it really so hard to believe that the crime rate would increase with everything going on?

I never said it was racist. Stop bringing racism into this.

disturbing development... though not directly linked to the topic, I've just read a few criminal statistics and the comparison to my home country shocked me tbh. We've had 298 murders in all of Germany during 2014. That's less than most bigger CITIES in the US had during that period... like what the hell

How can you guys feel safe at all? That looks to me like there would be more to tackle than just Baltimore.

Wow. A Baltimore thread, and you couldn't manage to land a Euro-bait post on the front page? You guys are seriously slacking lol.

[Tinykong]

Business as usual in Baltimore.

There were over 200 murders in 2014.

Its funny, the actual entire bad apple quote is that bad apples..... spoil the whole bushel of apples. Oops!

See, you're insinuating that black people are more prone to violence, and then you want evidence to the contrary, even though your point has zilch behind it besides your personal opinion anyway. In other words, black people are all violent savages because there are areas where black people are a majority and they have lots of crime, ergo black people are all criminals.

That's almost as stupid as saying or insinuating that black people never created civil societies (Timbuktu?) or any kind of written language or art at any point in history. THAT is why no one replied seriously.

Yes and if you said "saying ching chong isn't racist" would that suddenly not make it racist? You say not to bring race into yet you are saying "diddin do nuffin" in reference to what exactly? It's quite obvious and absolutely pathetic that you actually try (and fail) to hide your own bias.

[Rhine101]

Not saying this is what happened.

But I feel that every once in a while ungrateful people need to see what it's like when you're gone.

[Naxere]

Where's Al Sharpton when you need him?

[NYC17]

Where's Al Sharpton when you need him?

Where he usually resides. In the minds of "non-racists" who, for unknown reasons, believe he is relevant to every discussion regarding race.

Grow up.

Stop bringing racism into this.

I'm not sure that he can.

[Lumineus]

Nah - just a typical 3 day weekend when the weather warms up.

Any kind of federal observance, really. The mooks don't have to fear the bad cops then because they're selfish asses who don't put in holiday OT.

Memorial and Veteran's Day are also both notoriously bad for shootings but what they don't tell you is that a bunch of the victims were hit by stray bullets from 21-gun salutes.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're being sarcastic.

Its pretty standard really. Support a society that marginalizes and impoverishes an ethnic group, then justify isolation and impoverishment because they act isolated and impoverished.

[Themius]

Grow up.

This is rather foolish lol. You tell me to grow up when I'm faced with a person who is sitting about spouting stereotypes.
