Baltimore: get rid of police--enable criminals

[Billy_Kinetta]

It is unbelievable that democrats could be that stupid

but they are

and otherwise intelligent people like Mac-1958 or OldLady vote for dems like joe biden because they are freaked out by trumps personslity

good call.......so, hate and vilify the police--then tell criminals ''we won't prosecute
= shithole

Baltimore's been a shithole for a long time. This won't make much difference.

Everyone that wants to use drugs can find all they want in any town or city in America. Everyone that wants to pay someone to play with their wiener can find someone to do it. The war on drugs and immorality is an abject failure. Why should it continue?

......what about traffic laws?? just let everyone drive as FAST and wherever they want?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turns out traffic laws are somewhat enforceable even though they are, like drug laws, much too punitive for poor people. That broken tag light ticket that we can just pay is often an unmitigated disaster to someone just scraping by.

Job Killing *Joe is in the process of fixing that. His solution is make it too expensive for poor people to drive.

....so, let the person off the hook because they are stupid?????!!!!! that's stupid
AND she didn't say poor--she said black and brown

If their so-called "crimes" didn't really hurt anyone then people don't need to be on the hook anyway.

State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announces that Baltimore will no longer prosecute prostitution, drug possession, or other 'low level' crimes - TheBlaze

The Left wing utopia has arrived.

Left wingers who run the city are saying that they are doing this to lower Covid cases. LOL.

And they say that this policy has reduced violent crime. What they failed to say was that violent crime has been reduced all across the country, even cities that did not adopt this policy.

But no matter, all America wants is their drugs and to have sex. As for their freedom of speech and freedom to bear arms, covered by the First and Second Amendments, they could not care less about them. In fact, about half of Americans want to repeal both the First and Second amendments altogether.

But why stop there? Just flush the entire Bill of Rights down the sewer pipe cuz we are all now living in one.

All those illegal kids coming over with no education, English or job skills will have to do something. And running drugs and prostitution is that something.

Glenn Beck's The Blaze won't let me in without giving him my email address. Is he kidding? Looks fairly sensible to me!

A year ago, as the coronavirus began to spread across Maryland, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby stopped prosecuting drug possession, prostitution, minor traffic violations and other low-level offenses, a move aimed at curbing Covid-19's spread behind bars.​

​

That shift — repeated by prosecutors in many other cities — didn’t just reduce jail populations. In Baltimore, nearly all categories of crime have since declined, confirming to Mosby what she and criminal justice experts have argued for years: Crackdowns on quality-of-life crimes are not necessary for stopping more serious crime.​

​

On Friday, Mosby announced that she was making her pandemic experiment permanent, saying Baltimore — for decades notorious for runaway violence and rough policing — had become a case study in criminal justice reform.​

​

In the 12 months since she ordered scaled-back enforcement, violent crime is down 20 percent and property crime has declined 36 percent, she said. Homicides also inched down. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found sharp reductions in calls to police complaining about drugs and prostitution, she said.​

​

“Clearly, the data suggest there is no public safety value in prosecuting low-level offenses,” Mosby said at a news conference.​

Baltimore will no longer prosecute drug possession, prostitution, low-level crimes

A pandemic experiment in criminal justice reform takes hold in one of America's most violent cities.

By the time the drugs reach the street the battle is already lost. Chasing street level dealers just makes more dealers to replace the ones we lock up. They do it for no other reason than to make it look like they are doing something about drugs. Meanwhile smugglers can somehow bring shit in by the truckload.

 

[toobfreak]

Baltimore will no longer prosecute prostitution or illegal drug distribution and use

Democrats and progressives everywhere will be sure to celebrate that.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Yeah this is really going to work out well.

Does this mean hos will keep more of their money since their pimps don't have to bail them out anymore? Or is the hope here, that if pimps get more of that money, they won't smack their hos around as much? Eh, who cares, it's all victimless crimes, right?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Putting drug users in prison might be one of the dumbest things we have ever done. It makes far more sense to get them help for their addiction as opposed to putting them in with people who will teach them how to break into your home.

Drug users, yes I agree. Drug traffickers who destroy lives, no, throw them in jail and let them rot.

Drug users are put in prison sometimes just to give the people around them a break.

Following the mosby thought process they can completely end all murders simply by declaring that murder will no longer be prosecuted.

Two ways for mayors to look good
Lower crime rates
Create fake lower crime rates by not enforcung laws

Yeah, DAMN that "Job Killin' Joe!"

U.S. economy gains 379,000 jobs in February, in first full monthly employment report under Biden

Despite the latest gains, around 4 million people have still been out of work for 27 weeks or longer.

Prostitution is legal in Nevada and that entire state has less crime than Baltimore. So maybe a first step would help?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Baltimore felt it when they were called whoreophobes

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Prostitution is legal in Nevada and that entire state has less crime than Baltimore. So maybe a first step would help?

No, it's not legal in Nevada. Only in the brothels where they are tested regularly

Baltimore may be right. I hope it works.

I hope it works too. One thing for certain, prosecuting victimless crimes involving drugs and prostitution is a waste of resources.
