Baltimore Legalizes All Sorts of ‘Petty’ Crime – I Wonder What Will Happen Next?

The question in the title is rhetorical. We already know the answer. When political jurisdictions stop prosecuting crimes, you get more of them. When they do this because they defunded the police, you also increase other types of crime. Baltimore already had too much of both.

But one of the most dangerous places in the Western hemisphere has realized a statistical benefit. When you stop keeping track of crime, your crime rate goes down. But only because they are not recoding the crimes.

To be clear, the correct description here is that the Attorney will no longer prosecute a handful of petty crimes like prostitution, drug possession, or vehicle-related incidents. The effect is the same but that’s hardly Baltimore’s biggest problem.

It is still the place to get murdered in America. Not the only place but one with great odds of success if that sort of assisted suicide tourism ever becomes a thing. Like “death by cop” but no cops until they come to get the body and take a few notes.

Yes, murder is still illegal but in a city, but it is one of those places with the Left’s common-sense gun laws, so people continue to get murdered in record numbers.

Its only competitors for that honor are other Liberal-run cities making all the same mistakes. Attorney Mosby, for example, is under investigation. She’s got a lifestyle unbecoming a person with her salary and some other small matters of concern.

 

These include “forgetting” to pay her taxes, a dodgy travel company she started as a side gig, and her recent purchase of two Florida vacation homes while crying poverty back in Maryland. At this point, she’s probably just glad to be generating some headlines about literally anything else than a corruption investigation.

 

She could consider not prosecuting whatever crimes she’s been committing, but Liberal-City politics is as dangerous as their streets. They’ll hang each other out to dry to get ahead, so Mosby may be doomed if a Grand Jury gets to business.

Sadly, if she were removed, her empty-the-jails (and keep them that way) approach to street crime will not change with the new guard. It’ll be some other Democrat working with or for a Democrat Mayor, doing the same Democrat things. Primarily screwing over the minority population in exchange for blaming it on everyone else.
