30 People Shot, 2 Dead As Block Party In Baltimore Turns Into ‘War Zone’
Thirty people were injured, two fatally, during an overnight mass shooting at a block party in southern Baltimore City. The shooting is no surprise considering Democrat city leadership has failed to enforce law and order. The out-of-control crime is so bad that notable trading desks in the Inner Harbor area have told us they’re actively seeking to relocate because of violent crime.
Officers received 911 calls around 12:35 a.m., acting Baltimore police commissioner Richard Worley said during a news conference. The mass shooting occurred at 800 Gretna Court in the Brooklyn neighborhood. When police arrived at the incident area, Worley said “multiple victims” were found with gunshot wounds.
An 18-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and a 20-year-old man was pronounced dead at a hospital. Officers said 28 victims were taken to local area hospitals with gunshot wounds.

Worley said the suspects are still on the loose. He said homicide investigators would be at the scene for “quite a while.”
“This morning, all of Baltimore is grieving for the lives that we lost here,” Mayor Brandon Scott said at a press conference early Sunday morning.
Scott called the shooting “a reckless, cowardly act” that “did not have to happen.” He said, “We will not stop until we find you, and we will find you. Until then, I hope with every single breath that you take that you think about the lives that you took.”
Scott, elected in 2020, pledged to reduce gun violence. However, his crimefighting plan has been all but a failure (so far).
Financial firms are looking to exit the city, businesses are closing up shops, and parts of the downtown area have transformed into a ghost town as anyone with common sense avoids the city as it descends into further chaos. Scott and his fellow Democrats have pushed ultra-progressive policies (similar to ones in San Francisco) that have all but backfired. We have detailed the chaos in recent months:
- “It’s Just Not Safe”: Decades-Old Baltimore Business Closes Shop Because Of Crime, Blames Democrats
- “Entire Downtown Is Effectively Dead:” Baltimore City Descends Further Into Turmoil
- Citywide Youth Curfew Begins In Baltimore As Mayor Strives To Restore Law And Order
- Baltimore Mayor Calls For Citywide Curfew After All Hell Breaks Out
Keep in mind our reporting above is only in the last several months. The collapse is happening much faster under Scott and his progressive regime, who care little about law and order.
… meanwhile, Scott, like every other Democrat, scapegoats the gun industry while failing to take accountability for failed progressive policies. Democrats have been in control of City Hall for six decades. It’s time to entertain or at least hear what the other side of the political spectrum offers regarding a crimefighting plan. If not, and progressive continue to run the city, then Baltimore is a lost cause. After all, the total population has collapsed to a 100-year low. The exodus is happening in real-time.

Only 2 dead?
Shit.
The negro has a thicker dermal layer.

No problem just get a more powerful gun. A 50 cal should do it.
I asked for a grant for a minigun, but haven’t heard back from the DoD yet.
I hope they got dem wounded chillins fully boosted while in hospital for the ebil covid menace.
They need to come to Chitown. We’ll teach em how it’s done.
Most have never fired a gun until they get their hands on an illegal weapon in a ‘gun free city” so their first shot is intended for a victim but ends up a miss or hitting someone else. I believe the incidents of ‘self inflicted wounds’ are also quite high in these gun free cities.
Sailer’s Law of Mass Shootings: If there are more wounded than killed, then the shooter is likely black. If there are more killed than wounded, then the shooter is likely not black.
“multiple deaths”
THey really like their word games, don’t they?
Yes, two is a multiple of one!
Unless you are using common core, then one, two, and multiple are all racist.
Cheapest Solution:
Place crates of handguns,ammo, drugs and alcohol on the street corners of Baltimore.
The problems should self resolve over the following weeks.
They did that in Chicago during the 80s/90s , didnt work.
This is from 1977 but more relevant than ever.
My first post disappeared so I’ll try again.
Six decades is hardly enough time to properly evaluate the effectiveness of policies. IMO, let them rule another six so as to see more clearly where these policy decisions lead to.
After all, you wouldn’t want to rush into hasty policy changes, it could end up bad for the people.

I think I will try to work “niggardly” into a conversation at the gathering tomorrow and see how it goes.

Sooo, they’re saying negros with guns can make a neighborhood uninhabitable? Who would of thought that possible.
Not France, apparently.
Funny, no smiling , smirking witnesses , no candlelight vigils, no presidential address and piles of flowers and balloons. This might actually be a real one.
Dog bites dog is not news.
true, but in my high school journalism class, we learned Dog bites man is not news, man bites dog, headline.
What?
Start a GoFundMe to support Baltimore block parties?
Next level genius.
Remember when Trump asked where the $14 Billion the Fed gov pumps into Baltimore went? And we had to have two mass shootings just to get that out of the media?
Reducing the population works great if you are splitting up a pile of boodle, spondulxe, getus, moola.
You know, like $14 Billion worth.
30 people shot and only two dead.
What’s that, like a 6% kill ratio?
I wonder how many rounds were expended for this shamefully paltry result?
Failure in school.
Failure in mass murder.
Failure all around.
“But, but, but…we invented peanut butter”
No. No you did not.
Crushing nuts and legumes into paste is as ancient as inoculations.
I think an inner city shooting range is in order.
Practice people!
We can get improve that ratio!
They need to go back to marksmanship being an elective in the schools.
You know, those really smart people who alternately, if they can’t ban all weapons, want to make smart guns that only the owner can use. I have a better idea IMO; why not make guns that only penetrate dark pigments?
Yeah, they usually hit little kids playing on the sidewalk or shoot sleeping kids through the wall sleeping in their beds.
First you have to know how to hold and aim a gun . Holding it sideways, upside down or arms length over your head is not good shooting form. Then you actually have to pick a target. Shooting excitedly in the general direction seldom results in a direct hit.
Give then hand grenades then.
Imagine the hilarity of the incompetent with those!
Probably blow themselves up!
Sweden did that.
You can’t rule out the Swedes since they now come in all shades.
I don’t pay attention anymore but Baltimore used to have one of the best kill ratios in the country. Which ain’t saying much.
“But, but, but…we invented peanut butter”
You are probably thinking of George Washington Carver — but his REAL name was Gutzon Borglum.
Johns Hopkins is a pretty good hospital, as long as you don’t consider that whole Covid19thingy.
Must have been white supremacists again, right?
Amish.
What do you get when you cross a black with a white?
Blite.
Only the black white supremacists.
Clayton Bigsby?
Dudes blind! No wonder the shitty kill ratio.
…damn White supremacist’s…
Had there been one white southerner with a gun there, there’d have been more than two dead.
When you think about gun control you think about cities like this that have severe restrictions on guns but always have the highest death and injury count against a single demographic.
The foundations of war stipulate do NOT interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake, especially when it is 10k plus dead a year.
That’s what I say.
A privately funded program to distribute free drugs, alcohol, guns and ammunition to the deprived inner city yutes.
Give them a choice. The welfare / assistance they get or any combination of the above. Might as well get something positive out of the money we give them already. Why give them more? It isn’t like they don’t spend it on such already.
Welfare goes to da baby momma. Baby daddy gits da guns & drugs
Joggers gonna jog.
Wagger gonna wag
And a wigger gonna wig,
If a nappy gonna nap?
Then a ni**er gonna nig
You so poetical.
Beee Utiful
why you put stars instead of nigger, nigger?
Just curious, so I did a quick check on the demographic mix of Baltimore – 63% black. FWIW
Does anyone know – what areas in the US has the highest % of black pop?
And the lowest?
Check mortuary/waffle house ratios to locate black communities.
Lowest, in general, further north, close to the center of the country (Midwest) and smaller municipalities. Michigan’s UP, Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The small town I grew up in was 0.2 black in 2020, and the small Midwest city I live in now is 5% black by the 2020 census.
Stay away from the coasts, the south and big cities.
Just look for highest crime rates combined with lowest income rates, add a blame whitey and you have another Baltimore.
I’m sure some YouTuber has made their computer-generated, dubbed video about the blackest and whitest cities. Look those up.
Y’all smart, making me do all the work.
Mississippi & Alabama have to be close the top in % of population that is black and they also just happen to top the country in crime/100k
Baltimorgue.
Because Demoncrats love to destroy once-great cities, counties, states and the nation. It’s their mission as Bolsheviks, evil tools of the B3RG*.
What day is Baltimuerte this year?
Hoodrats doing hoodrat stuff , but you’ll notice the enemedia will gladly jump on the story to keep the French immigrant riots out of the news cycle.
We wouldn’t want the public to draw any conclusions RE the US Border , or lack thereof
So ZeroHedge, what was the racial make up of the shoots? The victims?
Why are you Tylers so afraid to speak freely?
I will hazard a guess, Joe. 100% of the shooters were black & 100% of the victims were black. Don’t know it for sure, but would be willing to bet on it.
Could be a fat ugly white girl mixed in the victims.
He’s right on both accounts, but he’s responsible for “did not have to happen.” I pay little attention to people like him, so when I found out he’s a negro, everything made sense.
Oldie but a goodie ….. WE MUST GIVE THEM ‘SPACE TO DESTROY’ – Baltimore Mayor
1:05
Space to destroy the white created space.
When black on black and black on white murders are removed from US crime statistics the US ranks 179 out of 189 on nations with gun murders despite having the largest number of firearms possessed by citizens !
So naturally the Black Mayor Of Baltimore blames the gun , heaven forbid he admits Baltimore has a NIGGER problem!
If that don’t say it all.
An 18-year-old Rhodes scholar was pronounced dead at the scene, and a 20-year-old Juilliard student was pronounced dead at a hospital.
“This morning, all of Baltimore is grieving for the lives that we lost here,” Mayor Brandon Scott said at a press conference early Sunday morning.
L O f ing L
Nope. Part of Baltimore wishes the number of deadees was far far higher.
Like, maybe even MOST of Baltimore?
““This morning, all of Baltimore is grieving for the lives that we lost here,” Mayor Brandon Scott said.
The rest of the country, not so much.
I almost had a solution to the Black gun violence problem. I was thinking, “what if the grips had a light meter built in to measure reflectivity?” but then I remembered all those dark people with white palms.
Maybe we should just send them all back to Africa?
Africa does not want US blacks. Never did, never will. Africans hate them. No racism involved.
I wasn’t going to ask the Africans whether they want them or not.
Gimme five on the black-hand side.
America’s problem race makes headlines again.
were the perpetrators knee grows? is the mayor a knee grow or a white woke cunt?
But….but Balamor has really reall strong anti gun laws. It should be a paradise.
I do like the idea of capital punishment as restorative justice.
Poor lighting and focus make it hard to tell what are clothing items and what are weaves laying on the ground. Otherwise a normal day in the hood.
Do whites have block parties anymore?
You see the problem illiteracy creates?
The mayor has clearly posted “This Is A No Murder Zone” signs all over the city.
If only they could read….
Police said: “over 200 rounds were fired”
That is a paltry kill ratio.
