With 344 murders, last year was the bloodiest year in the City of Baltimore’s history. But as 2016 reaches its halfway point, the bloodshed seems to be showing no signs of stopping.Thus far, the town once called “Charm City” has suffered 114 deaths, mostly a result of gang warfare. Now that summer has pretty much begun, the murder rate is ticking up as well. In the last week of May alone, an incredible twelve murders were committed in the city. This year is following closely the dangerous pattern seen last year. Baltimore’s per capita murder rate in 2015 was the worst the city has ever recorded. Even though there were more murders by body count in 1993 (353 were murdered then as compared to the 344 in 2015) the population of the city in 1993 was much higher than that of today. In fact, the murder rates in three top U.S. cities were so bad, it caused the murder rate to rise for the whole country even though the rest of the nation has mostly seen a drop in violent crime and murder. More proof that gun free cities, just end up going to the hands of the criminals. If this keeps occurring in the city of Baltimore, could we see a mass migration of the citizens in the city like we have seen in Chicago all year long? These Democratic practices of gun control and gun free zones do not work, all gun control does is increase the violent crime rate and break murder records. Like Chicago the city of Baltimore, MD has been destroyed by leftist policies and Liberal agendas of gun control, but still the people who live in these cities continue voting for the people who create the problem. It's strange that Detroit no longer get's talked about anymore, but then again Detroit police chief James Craig told his citizens to arm themselves. Charm city should now be called harm city.
