Baltimore surges past Detroit in number of homicides in 2015

Baltimore has become the second most violent city in America, a Baltimore Brew survey finds, with a homicide rate exceeded only by St. Louis

Baltimore has become the second deadliest city in America (after St. Louis) with homicides surpassing those of Detroit, the longtime poster child for urban violence.

During the first seven months of 2015, Detroit police reported 163 slayings. That compares to 189 killings recorded through July in Baltimore.

With 10% fewer residents than Detroit, Baltimore’s current homicide rate (deaths per 100,000 people) is running about 26% above that of the Motor City.

That’s quite a reversal from the recent past.

In 2012, Detroit had 411 homicides compared to Baltimore’s 219. The following year, Detroit had the highest murder rate among larger U.S. cities, according to the 2013 Uniform Crime Report published by the FBI, while Baltimore came in fifth (behind Detroit, New Orleans, Newark and St. Louis).

This is what "blacklivesdon'tmatter has done....They have weakened the cops and blacks are killing each other at a extremely high level.

Blacks better wake up to the reality of their problem and it is the utter acceptance of criminal behavior in the young black male population. If they don't fix this..Well, the blacklivesmatters movement is a ******* joke and will just kill more blacks.

It seems apparent that the only blacks lives that matter to blacks, are those taken by white cops.

Tragic and predictable.

Multiple generations now of people who claim to "care" spinning, deflecting for, and enabling bad behaviors, refusing to make American Blacks look in the mirror, on and on and on.

Just remember that these kids are brought up in that environment, from Day One. Yes, they are responsible for their actions, but remember that anyone's behavior would be skewed in that environment.

Do you think they don't know? There's nothing to wake up to.
