According to the majority of posters on this board, all black people are assumed to be on food stamps.

Well they have to exist somehow.

Of those arrested ..201 adults, most were unemployed/underemployed, had previous records and were living at home with their mothers.

I'd say it's a good chance they are relying on government to help.

Foreign news sites have much more detail on the goings on in Baltimore vs US news sites.

I have another idea. The people of Maryland should vote to rescind the pay of legislators like Mr McDonough until they do their job and balance the state's budget.

Maryland's budget shortfall grows to $1.2 billion - Baltimore Sun

No food stamps and no pay for politicians should help close the gap.

Not sure about your question. Why would a kid that chose to leave his parents home and live on his/her own ever qualify for benefits. Can't afford to live on your own? Don't do it. Simple.

Of those arrested, I'm guessing that most were male,18-24, not employed and not in school.

Yup. More like "behave or we'll starve you!" Crime will increase just for the hope of prison so they can get some food.
