Does the mayor of Baltimore have a point?

[The War Report]

It's true.

 

[Worthless Loser]

He's right, but it should not have been used in the context of discussing a 7 year old being killed. Those comments were better suited for a adult murder. Children are innocent and there is no reason why any child should be facing death via violence.

Maybe there's more to the interview that I'm missing.

 

[Paper Boi]

yes

 

[Elim Garak]

Of course he does.

 

[LordDeathwatch]

This is facts and I appreciate him being honest about it. Sad thing is, it's been the case for as long as I can remember, family drilled it into our heads when we started walking to school so we'd be able to avoid some of the shyt.

@BmoreGorilla I'm sure it was the same on your side of the city.

 

[Trav]

Mfs bout to be madder at him for this than the actual situation which is nuts.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Why would he not have a point?

 

[Paradoxical Tiger]

After the pandemic we’ve been approaching the 80’s murder rate

[Anerdyblackguy]

He ain’t lying.

 

[High Art]

He's not wrong. I guess his delivery could be better but I understand where he is coming from and it probably reflects his frustration with the situation.

Yep, there are definitely some "respectability politics" negroes in the replies. They're the minority though.

 

[42 Monks]

More people need to be blunt about this than anything.
