3. There are certain streets you don't go down at 3 AM.

Life sucks, I'm sure somewhere a white person and kid committed a crime last night. Odds are for it.

Why is this news?
My goodness.....you certainly seem to have an appeasers mindset. Evil seems to be acceptable to you because it's beyond your control. It's a wonder you haven't been a constant target for all things criminal. You seem to welcome the target on your back because, quite simply, "life sucks" and will be what it will be.

I prefer a more defensive stance. I question everything. I might be wronged by someone, but it won't come easily.

Wow. Another liberal post totally lacking integrity. Surprise, surprise.

Blame the damn victim. And it's not news if it doesn't promote your personal political agenda. Get a clue, please.

What are you "suprise suprise"ing? It's all fact, it's always been no matter what colors you are talking about.

Oh yes, I'd love to see you and your "defensive stance" in East Baltimore. How ridiculous.

You sound like you're blaming the victim. If this area is that dangerous, put in a curfew.

Thanks for the fake emotion. Adults learn how to "hide" posts instead of responding this way.

He wasn't blaming the victim. It's a simple and unfortunate fact that senseless crime happens way too often in poor urban areas.
