How it started.
How it’s going…
Baltimore is now facing apocalyptic levels of policing shortages.
Last week, THREE police officers patrolled a whole district of 61,000 residents.
Police are now UNABLE to respond to calls, including for child assault.

The radical leftists in control of Baltimore City Hall have plunged the metro area just north of Washington, DC, into apocalyptic levels. We advise readers to entirely avoid the metro area as violent crime spirals out of control.
Failed social justice reforms, defunding the police, and widespread mistrust of the police have resulted in a skeleton police force that will no longer be able to protect residents in some regions of the city.
Fox Baltimore reported last Tuesday that only three police officers were on duty for the Southern Police District, which includes more than 61,000 residents.
Several radio transmissions of a police dispatcher pleaded for additional officers as 911 calls came pouring in. At least ten calls went unanswered in a matter of minutes.
“You are endangering the lives of police officers on duty and what that does is endanger the lives of the citizens,” said Betsy Smith with the National Police Association.
Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for pushing failed social justice reforms and defunding the police that have left some areas of the metro area ungovernable as gangs roam free. Meanwhile, Democrats are obsessed with attempting to strip Second Amendment rights from residents, jeopardizing their ability to defend themselves.
“This catastrophic failure is a direct result of WOKE policies and extremely poor leadership from the Mayor. Baltimore is now seeing the results of the unending war on the police in Baltimore City. The failure to support the police is a total failure on behalf of Baltimore’s elected leaders, and this disaster is the end result!” Del. Nino Mangione, R-Baltimore County, said in a statement.
No Democrat will ever be held accountable for failed policies that have unleashed widespread lawlessness across the metro area. Avoid Baltimore as it implodes. Remember, the collapsing police force means more 9-11 calls will go unanswered.

One of those three cops needs to become a cyber security detective to figure out who hacked the tanker.
Watching the Francis Scott Key Bridge completely collapse caused a very emotional response in me. I grew up in Maryland, and my father was a blue collar worker in Baltimore when I was a kid. I remember my parents driving across that bridge once when I was a boy. It was a very high bridge, and I was fascinated.
I spent a part of my childhood in West Baltimore, I remember when the bridge was under construction.
I also remember when the minority urban “youths” were burning the city down. Thankfully they mostly concentrated on destroying their own neighborhoods…..because MLK. They had to bring in the Airborne from Bragg to shut it down. The shitty of Baltimore never recovered
Charm city my ass.
Baltimore imploded years ago, it’s now in its final death spasms.
The take down of the bridge is just a shit icing on a cake of crap.
Oldie from late 70s, but still relevant.
I was just fishing under that bridge last August, drifting up to the Dundalk Marine terminal
Democrat leaders aren’t ashamed, they are proud of their accomplishments.
The voters should equally be proud of the Socialists they elect. I have a well educated friend in Baltimore, he votes stupid.
Is that “he votes stupid.”
or
“He votes. He’s stupid.”
?
I vote because I have hope that God sees it, even though at the end of the day, it ain’t what I cast
I am in favor of purple thumb dye at polling places, where it should be the only legal place to cast a ballot…..otherwise go fuck yerselfs.
After the Mau Mau hordes decimate their own habitat they’ll head south and west into the tony neighborhoods of D C suburbia. That’s when the fun starts.
Cannon fodder is cannon fodder the world over…providing cover for what’s on BOTH sides of it.
Use that to your advantage.
“Never let a crisis go to waste” – Cass Sunstein
The folks in Suburban. DC, and Georgetown, who thought that a bunch of Boomers wandering around the Capitol Building was the worst thing to evah happen. Wait until a few weeks into the collapse when the indigenous people of Baltimore and DC run out of food and it’s Haitian BarBQ time and the special of the day is long liberal pork, White meat.
Well….,screw Baltimore,to the few sane who cannot leave due to family/finances I feel for and hope they can get out/weather the storm.
So,it’s Tuesday and I refuse to accept change well and thus as always will put up at least one good tune in remembrance of Tuesday Tunes and the older Hump Day Tunes.
Today’s tune is a classic,had not heard in awhile and then hit the radio while driving yesterday,hope folks like it!
Crank this up loau with a cup of coffee and you will be awake!
Introducing his song “Hear My Train A Comin’ ” at a concert in 1970, Jimi Hendrix said it was about “a cat running around town and his old lady, she don’t want him around. And a whole lot of people from across the tracks are putting him down. And nobody don’t want to face up to it, but the cat has something, only everybody’s against him because the cat might be a little bit different. So he goes on the road to be a voodoo child, and come back to be a magic boy.”
This is fine.
Can’t see it from my house.
Squint and smile.
The people vote for this; they obviously like these policies; let them fucking choke on it.
Stay away from Baltimore and DC. Both are liberal shatholes. Baltimore is the worst. Even the touristy waterfront area is no longer safe. DC has plenty of police but they take 20 minutes or longer to respond to any call, so the perp is long gone. I lived in the area three years ago. It was bad in both cities then I am sure it has only gotten worse in both. How can anyone with half a brain vote democrat after seeing what demos have done to ALL the cities they govern.
Baltimore City was once a beautiful, prosperous city. Today it’s an absolute hellhole.
The only thing that changed are the people living there.
Something changed in the 50s and early 60s something was added to the mix, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
We lowered all our standards of behavior and education so that people with a tribal culture and an 85 IQ could fit in.
You can thank that shithead LBJ for greasing the wheels.
My educated friend in Baltimore only reads WaPo and listens to NPR. When your daily education is only liberal sources for 20 years, you wind up with a half a brain. I consider that lucky!
Low IQ?
I’m thankful to live in Missouri where we can have firearms. Baltimore is an example of what is coming for many cities. The majority of the people will deserve what they get.
Where in MO?
Is a negative IQ possible?

If they are having so much trouble getting cops on the force, then why do they stop people for trivial things and harass them to death. There’s plenty of people that need “policed” without getting decent people out of their cars who might have a gun, making them walk backwards and lay face down on the pavement to keep doing this crap. If they would act better, they would have a lot of conservatives who would be their ally instead of hating them the way everybody does.
Low hanging fruit, easy revenue generated. Blackies are tougher , they make you chase them and they can’t pay fines/court costs.
That whole area is a shithole. just driving through it on the highway was enough for me. I would move away. I sat at the harbor and the local talk radio was talking about how worried they were about there being a possible bomb in a shipping container. This was years ago but…
The city I lived in most of my life , Antioch,Ca , has about 120 thousand people and their average police patrol amount is 4-5 cops. It’s a crap hole.
We had 4 patrols per shift for 35k people. The little Florida beach town nearby has 4 miles of beach and employs 22 sworn officers.
I remember Baltimore around 1990, just renovated the inner harbor, lots of shops and was a fun place. Now a complete shit=hole due to demon-crat government and corruption. They are reaping what they sew.
It was just lipstick on a pig. Was in a titty bar on “The Block” back then & the back room cop corruption was plain as day.
They are imposing what they sow
A bridge collapses due to retarded ship pilots, then police force collapses due to retarded politicians. I’m beginning to see a pattern here
And 1,2,3.
Thus begins the urban collapse predicted in the previous post…
LOL… They are completely devoid of the shame gene. Its called evil.
That would start a dangerous precedent, one that will be avoided by ensuring your boiz are all in the right positions and paid for.
Maybe if the chameleon don and ( insert dream ticket candidate ) were to run for office together the usausa can be saved. Vote moar harderer That should work
White Police Chief of 69% Black Birmingham, Alabama Begs Black Residents to Help the Police Solve Homicides (And Stop Protecting Black People Committing the Murders)

The limits of race sentimentalism:
The civic leaders of Baltimore have adopted the progressive policies of Chicago…because the gang grift pays better, it’s CCP drug money that greases the machine.
In Shitcago we’re seeing Chinese backed Mexican gangs fighting Black gangs over the drug trade.
I’m not a police boot-licker, so I don’t care if they abolish the police. Citizens must arm and protect themselves, because the government will not. Arm you and yours, or be a courageous pacifist unto martyrdom, your choice.
During the last “uprising” in 2015 the good citizens outside of the hood did just that….stopped the problem kneegros from leaving their cages.
Palo, thanks. We need to be reminded from time to time that the police are to protect “THEM” not us.
We need to be reminded from time to time
We need to be reminded all the time…
FIFY
I personally know they protect the Squatters and trespassers, not the property owners.
Well Palo, if that’s the case, I’d like to stop being taxed for police departments that ain’t there and not be penalized for shooting people I don’t align with, you know, like the democrats that break into houses and steal cars at gunpoint.
Despite your love of cats, Joe, you sound like a solid individual.
A solid thumbs up.
Cry me a river.
How many decades until we get to tour the ruins of Baltimore?
Planet of the Apes for real

Blue Cities, States, and now the whole country stolen in the crooked 2020 election is Biblically all going to hell because of Liberalism; all the tables are covered with vomit (Is 28:8). Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels Matt 25:41. The Traditional Norms of family and society didn’t evolve over thousands of years for no reason; destroying all of them over a few decades will result in Chaos, which is exactly what TPTB want to implement Martial Law, their CBDC and Mark, One World Government, massive Useless Idiot liquidations, slavery and tyranny. Do you really believe the MSM polls that have FJB leading DJT in six key states? That Baltimore bridge is Symbolic: London Bridge is falling down, J6 were Show Trial Bastille Political Prisoners. The annual National Debt will very soon (maybe $4T 2025?) make the US dollar as worthless as Weimar Marks, Confederate Dollars and French Assignats. Reject all liberal insanity period.
