Executions whether by guillotine, hanging, shooting, electricity, draw sick crowds all over the world.... And the democrat operatives are there in force to register the scumbags to vote democrat and give out free phones.

I knew, given the opportunity, you'd sympathize with convicted cop killers over police.

St. Louis, Baltimore Now in World's Top 20 For Murder Rates Another Obama success! By Tom Blumer \| January 31, 2016 \| 11:45 AM EST Share it Tweet it 2 shares Those in the press who have insisted that the "Ferguson effect" is an urban legend will have a hard time explaining why the two cities with the most potential to be affected by this supposedly mythical phenomenon now have murder rates among the top 20 in the entire world. St. Louis, Missouri, next door to Ferguson, where a leftist-"inspired" campaign of "protests," civil disorder and rioting began in August 2014, came in at Number 15, with a rate of 59 murders per 100,000 residents. The city's 188 murders in 2015 were up from 159 in 2014 and 120 in 2013. Baltimore, Maryland, where Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake infamously admitted in April 2015, as public safety was deteriorating in her city, that "we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that," was Number 19, with 344 murders (a rate of 55 per 100,000). The "Ferguson Effect" is a combination of two factors laid out by Heather McDonald in the Wall Street Journal last May, with the help of St. Louis's police chief: "Cops are disengaging from discretionary enforcement activity and the 'criminal element is feeling empowered.'" Logically, one would expect these two incentives — the disincentive to enforce the law, and the incentive to break the law as a result — to be most present in St. Louis and Baltimore. In St. Louis, the two factors involved have clearly spilled over from Ferguson itself. In Baltimore, in addition to its criminal-coddling mayor, there is an out of control prosecutor who is determined to get convictions of police officers who were present as Freddie Gray fell into a coma and later died after being in police custody — even poisoning the well by entering into a $6.4 million dollar settlement with Gray's family before the related trials even began. Here is the list of the 20 cities in the world with the highest murder rates ( Source: Mexico-based Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice; HT Zero Hedge): - See more at: http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tom-blumer/2016/01/31/no-ferguson-effect-st-louis-baltimore-now-worlds-top-20-murder-rates#sthash.Jdu7GgTN.dpuf
