Decadent
and decaying Baltimore descends into chaos
Ineptitude
and incompetence defines Baltimore’s present government and its legion of
public attorneys. More
interested in the limelight than what is right the City’s gang of reigning
political clowns have suspended sanity to curry favor with its residents. Death
has found Baltimore in numbers too great to ignore. Forty-five murders were
reported in July. Unless revised the record books will reflect a very hot
summer in the city that bleeds. City Hall has taken to the streets to blame its
own police department for the tribulation now being observed. Reality speaks to
a far different explanation of the chaotic events unfurling in this locale.
Police are swamped with the massive level of crime within the confines of
Baltimore’s 92 square miles. Permissive government policies and a lax
prosecutorial system have contributed to the increasing level of daily violence.
Crime has always been pervasive amongst Baltimore’s 622,000 estimated
residents. Using the Freddie Grey incident as an excuse, which remains to be
resolved, Baltimore’s Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake bashed her own police
department as the cause of the uptick in violence. Similar to other cities
managed by incompetents violent interludes on their streets stem from intrinsic
problems amongst the population not in the guardians hired to keep law and
order. Ethnic violence will not stop until a firm hand with a logical mind
behind it returns to the seat of power held by its present ineffectual mayor.
Overwhelmed by Baltimore’s problems Rawlings-Blake pretends to be in control
when the actions on the streets speak otherwise. Forced to bring in the feds to
control violence Mayor Blake is admitting the job she holds is beyond her
abilities.
Local
media lives in an alternate reality. Crime reports are diluted to give the
perception all is not so bad in the streets and corridors of this decaying jurisdiction.
I am here to report Baltimore is entrenched in ethnic violence with no resolve
in sight. Political masochists will grind anyone into dust who dares to offer
solutions to effectuate change in the city. Mayor Blake and her associates
enjoy the status quo and will not confront the hard issues entrenched in this
swamp of a town. Books will be written, years from now, how a government used
its own residents so its leaders could move up the food chain. If you are a
cheerleader for Baltimore I dare you to walk through its neighborhoods once the
lights go out. I pray you find the morning light.
