Why Baltimore Is a Murder Vortex Crime and Consequences Blog by Bill Otis It's no longer disputed (if it ever was) that Baltimore has seen a staggering increase in murder at least since the politically-staged Freddie Gray prosecutions of six police officers.\| This was the city where the then-Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, told us that rioters and arsonists should be given "space to destroy." (Ms. Rawlings-Blake later went on to fame when she was chosen to open the Democratic National Convention). One might wonder why, exactly, Baltimore has become a murder vortex to an even greater extent than in the past. I can't say for sure. One reason is likely to be the handicapping of the police, most vividly on display with the aforementioned Freddie Gray prosecutions, and more recently backed up by the consent decree engineered by Obama administration lawyers in order to benefit drug dealers insure civil rights. A second, more deep-seated and in a way even more appalling reason is captured by the news story whose first line is: "A Project Baltimore investigation has found five Baltimore City high schools and one middle school do not have a single student proficient in the state tested subjects of math and English." The story continues with this: We sat down with a teen who attends one of those schools and has overcome incredible challenges to find success. Navon Warren grew up in West Baltimore. He was three months old when his father was shot to death. Before his 18th birthday, he would lose two uncles and a classmate, all gunned down on the streets of Baltimore. "I've lost a lot of people, so I'm used to it. It hurts," Warren said. "I just chose not to show it. I just keep it in. You just have to live on and keep going on every day. You have to do it somehow." If the Klan itself had devised a plan better aimed to destroy the hopes of African Americans for a better life -- and often to have a life at all -- I don't know how it could be more devastating than the plan liberals have devised for what's left of education and policing in that once-proud and historic city.
