Baltimore a city with a majority black population has a mayor who thinks closing shops early will stop violence.
The city of Baltimore has a real problem. It’s been suffering from a wave of violence for some time now. Residents of the city thought it was over. After all, the murder rate for the first three months of this year dropped significantly, undoubtedly a good sign.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be.
This month, the city has seen at least 29 murders as the violence surged yet again. This led Mayor Catherine E. Pugh to take to the streets to visit some local businesses. One of the exchanges recorded by the Baltimore Sun was a little concerning, though.
You see, Pugh stood inside of an area convenience store and asked what time the store closed. When the owner responded that they closed at 11:30, that wasn’t good enough for Pugh.
“Isn’t that late?” the mayor reportedly responded. “That’s a little late. It keeps the crowds around here. Nine o’clock is nice. We need you-all to close at 9 o’clock at night.”
Closing shops early is not going to stop the violence. What will stop the violence is getting rid of the racial group that is committing all the violence.
And it is comical for them to talk about how murders went down in the first three months of the year. That’s only because during winter months it is freezing cold in Baltimore and blacks aren’t going to be roaming the streets like they do in warmer months. The fact that violence was down during those months is meaningless.
But yes, the only way to resolve the problem with violence in Baltimore is to remove the blacks. I guarantee the violence will go down once this is done.
