27 people shot so far in Baltimore over the Memorial Day weekend creates May as the deadliest month since 1999 in Baltimore Maryland.

Baltimore State Attorney, and “Black Lives Matter” activist, Marilyn Mosby, has created an environment of brutal lawlessness in the wake of her visible animosity toward city police officers.  Thugs now rule the streets, particularly in the dangerous Western region as police are forced to stop proactive policing.


The irony of consequence is lost amid the reality that more black people are being killed specifically because of the approach taken by the local Baltimore prosecutor. (more…)

Against the backdrop of her initial ‘Direct Action’ charges coming under scrutiny from numerous legal analysts and scholars, a defiant State Attorney Marilyn Mosby took her demand for charges to a grand jury.   Here is the result:

Notes: Officers Brian Rice, Edward Nero and Garrett Miller (bicycle patrol) no longer charged with “False Imprisonment”. This is obviously the result of the knife found on Freddie Gray being illegal, unlike Mosby’s initial claims. However, Mosby modified the GJ request and they are now charged with “reckless endangerment”. She also added “misconduct in office” charges to each of the accused. (more…)

…Police are struggling to stop violence in West Baltimore, where officers have been routinely surrounded by dozens of people, video cameras and hostility while doing basic police work since the death of Freddie Gray, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said Wednesday. (link)…

BALTIMORE – Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the city’s recent spike in violence “disheartening” Thursday as police work to address a dramatic increase in homicides and nonfatal shootings.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” the mayor told reporters at a news conference. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.” (more…)

(Hat Tip Partyzantski) who shares: …”This video shows the mentality behind the mob feral behavior. The guy, acting out of good faith, goes to pull the warring factions apart. He ends up hospitalized. People were calling for him to be killed. This is barbarism.
[…]  Here is a safety tip for all: If you are in a place and all of a sudden the demographic changes, GTFO. Just drop your burger or whatever and LEAVE with all those you came with. Get out and get separation. Keep walking away. Get away. NEVER interpose yourself. As an outsider, it is an affront to the warring factions. Cops know domestic calls are potentially some of the most violent, these situations are dangerous for the same reasons”...
NEW YORK – BROOKLYN (PIX11) — Another disturbing teen melee broke out inside a Brooklyn McDonald’s Friday, and this time, the brawlers turned their violence on an innocent man trying to break the fracas up and on employees of the fast food joint.

This is like a never ending song with a repeating chorus. It was not long ago the entire Baltimore jail system had to be torn apart and restructured after it was discovered that corrections officers were part of the gang trade, smuggling drugs to prisoners, allowing prisoners to leave jail on weekends, having sex with prisoners and several female officers were pregnant.
Now video discovers Baltimore corrections officers participating in the looting and riots…

Do you know why they’re smiling?  Think about where they’re headed !

(Via Daily Caller) Two correctional officers who work at the Baltimore City jail were suspended without pay Wednesday after video emerged showing them looting a 7-11 store during last month’s riots. (more…)

Before the Baltimore riots hit the national news a less publicized beating of a Dundalk Maryland resident surfaced. We initially wrote about it HERE.

Richard Fletcher was brutally beaten by a group of Baltimore High School students after he asked them not to fight around his truck. Approximately 25 to 30 black “teens” brutally attacked Fletcher knocking him unconscious. They continued to kick him, stomp on his head and robbed him after he was unable to defend himself.
Many of the students filmed the beating and posted it on their social media, but the police told a nearby business owner NOT to share the CCTV footage because of concerns the public would be outraged by the video.
As the Baltimore Sun reported last night, five of the attackers were identified after an anonymous person slid video of the attack under a teachers door at the school. (more…)

Some of you might remember this horrible story.  We outlined it for two reasons:  First, because it was a horrible example of why we should all be prepared to defend ourselves in our own home.

Second, because of the abject disingenuous nature of the local LEO who said:

“How dare you think you can merely kick in a door and just do heinous crimes in our community. It’s unacceptable,” said IMPD Chief Rick Hite.

“It’s unacceptable“?  Oh, all righty then – Here’s the update: (more…)

Recent media stories within Baltimore are highlighting that many of the looter/rioters are being released without charges.
The Head Baltimore Prosecutor in charge of making those decisions is Marilyn Mosby.

Marilyn Mosby is Baltimore City’s newly elected State’s Attorney. She is the youngest chief prosecutor of any major city in America. 

[…]  As an active member in her profession and community, Marilyn has served in a number of leadership positions on several committees and boards including: the Peer Review Committee of the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission (2012), the Judicial Nomination Committee for the Monumental Bar Association, the NAACP (Baltimore Branch) Criminal Justice Committee.

Now, you might also remember when the riots and looting broke out on Monday there was a City Councilman who told the police to move back from their positions. When the police did what the Councilman requested, the stores in the immediate area were looted. (more…)

Liberal news outlets are now aghast at the strength of the judicial response to delicate sensibilities of the rioting hoard in Baltimore.   As anticipated the MSM is now framing a narrative that rioting thugs should not be punished, or held responsible.

(Guardian) Baltimore’s under-fire criminal justice system risked antagonising its already seething local community on Wednesday by suspending legal procedures and imposing bail bonds of up to half a million dollars on the city’s most impoverished residents.
In one especially stark case, a 19-year-old charged with eight offences allegedly committed on Saturday, including riot, theft and disorderly conduct, was set a bail of $500,000. Court records show the defendant, a black man, was sent to jail after failing to produce the funds. (more…)

Before the flames even subsided the institutional media began to advance a more sympathetic narrative.  Quickly, necessarily, changing the imagery from rioting thugs holding rocks, bottles and Molotov cocktails to pictures of little black boys handing water bottles to riot police and other optics more conducive to selling a victimization story.
But that’s all it is, a story – more polish on the Potemkin Village known as Baltimore.
The truthful reality is what you won’t see discussed by Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper or Marc Lamont Hill.

“The Police wouldn’t help me”…
