It was just a few weeks ago when Black gangs were being praised by clergy and authorities in Baltimore for doing a better job than police of keeping the peace in the wake of the Freddie Gray riots.
Since then the murder rate has skyrocketed as criminals have free rein in Baltimore as police, in response to being demonized by elected officials and the community, have held back from aggressively enforcing the law.
Last Sunday morning, two reputed members of the Black gang the Bloods horrifically raped and murdered a sixteen year-old Black girl in the basement of her grandmother’s home, then set her body on fire, according to Baltimore police.
Baltimore City College high school junior Arnesha Bowers was targeted by two young men she thought were her friends, twenty-three year-old Adonay Dixon and twenty-year-old John Childs, because they thought her grandmother, whom she lived with, had money.
So black lives matter huh? Where's Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton?
This is so sick, goes to show the victims of "gangs" know no color bounds. That poor girl and her family. It's hard to even think about the pain and horror she went through.
Had the rapists and murderers been white (or even better, undercover white cops), there would be 14 pages of posts already, consisting of mass outrage from militant liberals.
The OP is black, but something tells me he won't get much liberal based support here. Pretty par for the course. Moving on.......
What is anyone supposed to say to this story? It's nauseatingly awful, and I sincerely hope the family receives justice.
There should be a lot people who are discussing here, like how the black on black violence problem is out of control. Unfortunately, many would rather shift the focus onto whites and law enforcement in general.
What's going on in Baltimore currently is an experiment of sorts. LE has stepped back a little to let the inmates run the asylum. I'd say this is very newsworthy. Liberals may disagree.

Had the victim been white, there would have been 14 pages of posts already, consisting of mass outrage from the typical City-Data Current Events posters.
