“Normalcy” Returns to Baltimore
May 3, 2015
There were six homicides in recent nights in Baltimore in the predominantly black neighborhoods, and they are said to be “unrelated” to the protests and riots. The black gang bangers, who the city council stood shoulder to shoulder with last week promising to “work together” to “stop the violence,” are back on the streets murdering each other over drug sale turf. So far, no affluent white college students carrying “Black Lives Matter” signs have been spotted. For the forty-fifth straight year no one is even asking if all the violence, including daily killings of young black men, is related to the government’s “war on drugs.”
