The Tragedy of Baltimore

[Occam's Banana]

So...I'm open to suggestions...what do you suppose should happen next?

Since there isn't a single cause (aside maybe from poverty which is a symptom not necessarily a cause- what causes all the poverty?) it is a complex problem which does not have simple solutions.

Granted and understood it is multi faceted problem.

I'll take one suggestion that has not been tried yet.

Or, maybe admit that the gist of Trump's comments, i.e...

your district is in shambles, you've been in power for decades and instead of screaming and hollering at me all day long, maybe you should remove the log from your eye and take a good hard look at what YOU can do Mr. Cummings, to help "your" people and your district...

...is correct.

Whoa, there! Just whoa! Let's not get ahead of ourselves ....

Has an overweeningly ambitious, fantastically expensive and liberty-eroding federal program named after the problem even been tried yet?

I mean, granted, turning the word "BALTIMORE" into a relevant acronym appropriate for use in the title of any corresponding legislation will certainly be a daunting challenge, but still ... we shouldn't give up that quickly ...

I've been to this shit hole. Won't go back again.

My son got shipyard duty there last winter...it was...let's say...an eye opening experience for him.

This is so ridiculous. A city with a murder rate as high as Brazil, where crime is out of control, are coming together because of... Some mean tweets. Bourgeois white shitlibs who think they know Baltimore because they watched half a season of The Wire will tweet about how "we're all Baltimore" and #BaltimoreStrong, then go back to lives completely disconnected from the urban carnage that plagues the city. Thank you so, so much for your help. Where would we be without you?

That's what those self loathing turds specialize in.

I'd say one of the "highlights"(?) was the black homeless man, standing in the park by the roadside, trouse down, yanking his pudd, while everyone around carried on as if nothing was going on.
If that level of moral degeneracy is regarded as 'normal,' then I sure as hell don't want anything to do with it.
I'm sure there will be a libertarian to come along and tell me that as long as he didn't get his ejaculate on anyone then it's all good. Wasn't hurting nobody.

This issue should really help Trump woo black voters.

Reminds me of my very first port call in Africa, in Douala Cameroon.

Slowing making my approach to a rickety Customs quay, around 0900, looking through the binoculars, so as to tell the crew what line was to go on what bitt, and, in front of God and everybody, one of the line handlers drops trou, bends over the edge of the quay and drops a deuce overboard.

It went downhill from there.

Most blacks are never going to vote Trump, the small percentage of blacks that do, agree with him on this:

Jobs and the "First Step Act" are gonna do that. For those that CAN be swayed. The rest are a write off anyway.

Those that get "it," will get "it," those who don't love their handouts and will never part with their plantation owners.
