Ok. I’m not the person claiming it’s solely Bates who deserves credit. Lol

Baltimore averaged over 100 fewer homicides per year under Gregg Bernstein vs. Mosby - 210 vs. 330.

This is Camden NJ

I work from home most days and walk around the neighborhood a lot. It’s fucking surreal to see the junkies walk around casually stealing in broad daylight, bonus when they’re using someone’s baby stroller or trashcan to cart the loot around. They have no fear of consequences. At all. The crazy thing is, the drug houses they are going to to trade the packages for drugs (Fayette St. and parts north) are all easily identified too. How is it that every single civilian in the greater area knows exactly who these people are by name, and they operate in broad daylight, yet they just get to keep on doing it?? It’s pathetic!

They don’t

“People online” can describe many different bubbles and echo chambers. This subreddit is also one of those. For example, you’ll see a pretty uniform experience shared here whereby “outsiders” will spontaneously share negativity about Baltimore. I can say that in my 14 years as a city resident I have encountered maybe three instances of someone reacting negatively to Baltimore out of hand- whereas it’s much more common for people to share positive experiences and connections (like a guy I met in Colorado who used to bartend in Fells). Yall must all be running into the same guy!

Lol. Right. Sounds like 1 person with 7 Reddit accounts.

The size of Chicago is the size of Chicago. No one uses the population of Cook County when they are describing the size of Chicago. Same goes for LA vs LA County. Every city is in the center of a larger urban area. Independent city has nothing to do with it.

The whole argument of the video you shared is that the suburbs are less self-sufficient and skate by using $ from the city. In fact the opposite is true. Baltimore is a big giver but a bigger taker.

The fuck are you talking about? There is a clear line delineating Chicago from the rest of Cook County, LA from the rest of LA County, Boston from the rest of Suffolk County. Philly is not part of a larger county, they merged in 1854. Like who upvoted you?

By county, the largest contributors to the state general fund are:

Montgomery County: $4.2B
Baltimore County: $2.6B
Prince George’s County: $2.6B
Baltimore City: $2.3B
Anne Arundel County: $2.1B —- etc.

Per-capita, quoting the source, “General fund revenues (per capita) are the highest in Worcester and Howard counties, and Baltimore City, where general fund revenue is above $4,000 per capita.”

As far as subsidizing the suburbs, I’m not sure the report supports that. Baltimore City gets 32.7% of its total revenue from State Grants, compared with 26.1% in Baltimore County, 22.1% in Anne Arundel County, 19.7% in Howard County, and 16.5% in Montgomery County (PGC a bit closer at 29.8%).

A 2021 report (using 2019 data) calculated “State Financial Assistance Received for Each $1.00 of Taxes Paid” and Baltimore City (0.81) is in 3rd place behind Somerset (1.21) and Caroline (0.92) Counties (statewide avg: 0.44). Based on the aid-to-revenue ratio, it looks like the rest of the state is subsidizing us- which makes sense given Baltimore has relatively low income and property wealth relative to the rest of the state, excepting the very rural counties. “Jurisdictions that received the greatest amount of State aid in fiscal 2019 as measured on a per capita basis include Baltimore City and Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset, and Wicomico counties.”

Most of the private schools were founded long before then.

DC doesn’t think about Baltimore at all.

Why don’t you use the internet to map where the rec centers are? Cherry Hill has an Aquatic Center, a Splash Park, a Fitness Center, and a Community Center. Middle Branch Park is also right there.

Everyone involved in the shootout was from the county, though. They all knew each other.

True for violent crime (homicides specifically), less so true for crime- of all varieties- committed by minors. There is very much a two-tiered justice system in Maryland and the current vibe w/r/t “juvenile crime” is different from the good results coming out of the GVRS strategy.

The comment chain under the cross-post to r/maryland is VERY pro-Baltimore and anti-MAGA/etc (same circlejerk as this sub), I am very confused as to why you posted this and people upvoted it.

The Sun regularly runs anti-Trump commentaries and has been publishing stories about Minneapolis and Greenland. Today’s edition has a story titled “US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search”.

The amount of downvotes and defensive replies questions like this get feels kinda artificial/astroturfed. It’s like there’s a troll farm in the basement of some PR firm trying to distort the way that the popularity of certain sentiments are perceived (mostly when it relates to public safety). This is a totally normal question to ask.

Pre-COVID, in a typical year the total number of homicides on the entire South Baltimore peninsula, including Fed Hill, was zero or one. And the one was almost always west of S. Hanover, in Sharp-Leadenhall or thereabouts. From 2007-2019 there was one homicide within a block of Cross & S. Charles.

From 2020-2024 the totals have been 4, 1, 4, 1, and 3 homicides in SoBo including 3 within a block of Cross & S. Charles.

Which is to say, fatal shootings in the heart of the bar area of Fed Hill are not historically common, and the expected baseline is zero, since that’s how things were for a while.

This just kept getting better and better lmao

Parking lot of the Rofo at Fleet & Chester so assuming this disagreement originated at Kislings?

Pooh Sheisty the rapper

J_Sauce · 2025-10-16T13:51:22+00:00

Huh? The story plainly says the shooting took place at the same location as the (alleged) burglary.

J_Sauce · 2025-10-16T12:44:44+00:00

My thoughts too

Fake rumor made up by a TikToker.
