How a Democrat Mayor addresses crime: close stores down earlier

[Ray From Cleveland]

The city of Baltimore has a real problem. It's been suffering from a wave of violence for some time now. Residents of the city thought it was over. After all, the murder rate for the first three months of this year dropped significantly, undoubtedly a good sign.

Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.

This month, the city has seen at least 29 murders as the violence surged yet again. This led Mayor Catherine E. Pugh to take to the streets to visit some local businesses. One of the exchanges recorded by the Baltimore Sun was a little concerning, though.

You see, Pugh stood inside of an area convenience store and asked what time the store closed. When the owner responded that they closed at 11:30, that wasn't good enough for Pugh.

"Isn’t that late?" the mayor reportedly responded. "That’s a little late. It keeps the crowds around here. Nine o’clock is nice. We need you-all to close at 9 o’clock at night."

Mayor Tries To Address Violence By Telling Businesses When To Close

And this my friends is how Democrats deal with problems they helped create. Wouldn't this kind of mentality benefit us all if we give the entire country back to them?

When you set a precedent such as "back down and let them destroy what they want" it's not surprising when people get the idea the inmates are in charge of running the asylum. Demonize police to the point they no longer want to be pro-active in crime, and tell the criminals they have a free hand, has all the properties of destroying a city.

Please don't let this happen to the rest of your country.

Stores should be able to stay open as long as they want. As long as patrons are not disturbing neighbors.

Except for one Republican mayor, the democrats have been in control of Baltimore since 1947...... letting violent criminals out of jail is no way to cut gun crime in a city...

The reason Baltimore is a shit hole is democrat mayors gong back to 1947...democrats who for some insane reason think that letting violent gun criminals out of jail is a good way to lower the gun murder rate...


Maryland governor proposes "truth in sentencing" rules for gun crimes

What Governor Hogan is focusing on is the relatively light sentences that persons convicted of gun crimes receive, many of whom do no time in jail at all.
----


Afterward, Hogan said he was frustrated that violent repeat offenders are not receiving long prison sentences.

“We keep putting the same exact violent people on the streets,” Hogan said. “We’ve got to get them off the streets.”



----
Some of the statistics that the Governor and the Police Chief are highlighting are truly alarming. The majority of the murders involve gang members as both the perpetrator and the victim.

And on average, these shooting victims have themselves been arrested ten times previously. How on Earth do criminals have that many contacts with the legal system and not wind up being taken off the battlefield?

In any event, Hogan announced that he wants the state legislature to step in and do what the city tried, but failed to accomplish. They need tougher sentencing for gun crimes and those sentences need to mean something. Hogan was quoted as saying, “if you say you’re going to get this number of years, you’re going to get that number of years.” And presumably he means that you’re actually going to do that number of years.

He’s not going to have an easy time of it. Maryland’s Attorney General, Brian Frosh, came out right after Hogan’s remarks and contradicted most of them. He claims to never have agreed to any sort of truth in sentencing law and immediately pivoted to blaming their crime problem on…. Donald Trump.

They didn't make any law about it; not that I think they could. But certainly the store owner felt a little threatened.

So how is your link that much different from mine (which included a hyperlink to another local news outlet)?

Bottom line is that this is the way Democrats handle problems; especially where violence is concerned. Too much crime? Tell people to stay home and close the town up for the night. Lock your doors. It's dangerous around here. We won't give our police 100% support. We won't tell criminals their time has come. Just run in fear instead.

Really? Do you know how they are trying to combat crime here? The city is creating a 1.5 million dollar dirt bike park. Why? Because they Mayor's grandson got busted a couple of times riding his dirt bike in the street. They are not replacing retiring police officers. Some of our police cars are over 10 years old with over 100,000 miles on them.

When a criminal got shot by police officers after this Mayor took over, he decided to create a new strategy for the cops. Instead of boxing in a suspect for an arrest, give him some room so he can run away if he wants.

Recently there was a police chase of a suspect. The officer was ordered to stop the chase. The officer questioned the decision given the fact the suspect was armed, dangerous, and shot at this officer. The supervisor stood by his decision.

I TEAM: Firestorm over gunshot at police and chase called off

Of course this is a generalization. Because this generalization is true. I'm sure if you research most crime ridden Democrat cities, you will find the exact same things going on.

Where did I say they didn't? But they don't say so as a replacement for taking initiatives to combat crime. You leftists lock your doors all the time, but then tell us a wall on our southern border to keep people out won't work.
