Poor dupe is too dumb to realize he wasn't really "fighting for his country" either time. I say that as a veteran of the USMC myself. What we're doing overseas isn't to fight our country of defend our freedoms, it's to line the pockets of defense contractors and select group of special interests. What that man is doing on the streets of Baltimore sure as hell couldn't be construed as fighting for his country either.

If they are not charge with 2nd degree murder or manslaughter, will they walk or will they get charged again with lesser charges?

There are so many wonderful areas of Baltimore so Baltimore is not done. They said the same about DC and the ghetto I grew up in DC is is now a million dollar area.

agree to a certain extent

the harbor area( by the aquarium ) of Baltimore is beautiful... but its surrounded (the other parts of the city) by slums
Quote:
With a crime rate of 65 per one thousand residents, Baltimore has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 15.

same with DC... might be able to call it million dollar slums....dc is still in the top ten for murders(has been for decades)


currently east st Louis is the worst in the country

look at 'geatschools.org' and look at the ratings of the schools...(schools are rated 1-10, with 6 being a good average school) when nearly every school within the city is rated at 1-3...that's a bad rating)... you can shortcut and go through realtor.com and look at some of the homes....the school ratings are posted there too

They will walk this was purely political. She's not charging them with actually injuring Freddie but not calling 911. She charged the initial arresting officers with false imprsonment. That might have a shot at sticking though. SCOTUS however has given wide latitude towards cops' making an arrest. We'll see.

I want to hear from Dershowitz, going back to Trayvon, he's been right in his analysis of these high profile cases. I like Dan Abrams too but he hedges a lot.

DC is a different story it has always attracted young educated whites. Baltimore not so much. I'm reading of folks driving to Bmore colleges and pulling their kids out of dorms. Folks are canceling leases and moving to the county. This hasn't been reported but stories are all over the net.

Baltimore is done.
