Saturday night, some living in Federal Hill said they are afraid to leave their homes.
The fear comes 48 hours after a 25-year-old was gunned down just steps away from his Federal Hill home.
There is still no official word on any suspect or suspects in the murder of 25-year-old Timothy Moriconi, but those living in the neighborhood said they want to see a large police presence in the community.


The crime will never cease in Baltimore and Federal Hill is no place to live, if you have a choice. Look at Chicago, Detroit, Oakland, Baltimore. The police can't stop crime when democrat politicians work to increase it.

Yet another example of you trying to interject partisan politics and your general bullsh*t into a tragedy. Maybe you should spend more time volunteering or trying to help your community instead of trolling internet forums pretending to know answers to a problem that you don’t understand.

A tragedy that happens all the time in Baltimore. Until you remove corrupt leaders, nothing will change.

You’re clueless.

Why should anyone volunteer as you stupidly put it?? Some tramp has a kid with no father in the home lets the street raise her feral savage off spring and gets section 8 and welfare. We are living our own responsible lives and contribute to society. IT IS NOT OUR job to raise these rats!


Go F your self you are everything that's wrong with Baltimore

Apparently now “volunteer to help your community instead of trolling Internet forums” translates to “go help raise someone else’s kids.” You can’t think of anyway to “stupidly” help your community, and yet *I’m* the one wrong with Baltimore for suggesting getting involved instead of sitting behind a computer screen might actually be a means to affect change? SMDH I fear the shoe is actually on the other foot.

I don't think the mayor or chief of police know what to do with the crime, aside from arresting the shooters, which appears to be a difficult task.


So is the police work 'mediocre' and do they (police), just don't care, are they hamstringed from doing their work? I don't know the answer either. My family has lost two close friends in Baltimore to homicide when I lived there.


There have been 19 homicides in Baltimore between 9/24-10/1/18.


That's a shocking number.


I now live back in DC where the homicide number has spiked here too!! We have an interim police chief too. Cathy Lanier was police chief for 10 years and managed to work successfully with the city, the mayor, community leaders to keep the crime rate down for a long time. She's gone, it's spiked.


Baltimore too has an interim police chief. If there is no consistency at the top, the ish rolls down hill. There has been an unusually large of number of police chief turnarounds in the last 10 or more years in Baltimore City. No steady leadership, no long term plan.


Could this be part of the problem?

I've seen well-meaning people "volunteering" and "getting involved" since the late 1950s. How has that worked out?


About as well as the policies that began with LBJ's "Great Society."

.........Or Ronald Reagan's Trickle Down Economics that have been
adapted by successive Republican administrations. It has inherent
flaws that have prevented success. It is equivalent to a few crumbs
being knocked to the floor of a table whose leg was accidentally
kicked.

Hmm, I don't know...how effective is just griping and moaning, which is effectively a more verbal do-nothing attitude?
