As one of the city's deadliest months comes to an end, terrified residents have compared parts of Baltimore to the Wild West.

In the wake of the Freddie Gray riots, families have barricaded themselves inside their homes, too afraid to leave, while those on the streets walk around wielding guns - because there are allegedly no police around to arrest them.

Arrested are down 50percent and homicides are at their highest level in 15 years. In the Western District, there have been more murders in the first five months of this year than in all of 2014. 

Neighborhoods such as West Baltimore, which had seen heavy policing because of endemic drug and gang violence in recent years, have experienced a reversal, with citizens claiming they have been virtually abandoned.

But embattled law enforcement officials claim they are 'under siege' from criminals taking advantage of the unrest, while officers complain they are met with hostility while policing certain areas.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Boyz were simply taking advantage of the police 'slowdown', to settle old scores, new scores...and personal problems.  Or staking out territories to sell their product(s).

The "No Women...No Kids" rule doesn't even apply anymore.

Most likely, mother and son were costing somebody child support or something.

The combined actions of the mayor and that idiot state's attorney have all-but destroyed Baltimore's police force, which has all-but recused itself from being a pro-active force, and has now gone into "extreme self-defense mode".

Another article I saw posted elsewhere today mentioned that Baltimore cops are complaining that many times when they detain someone now, they find themselves surrounded by a "mob in the making".

It's going to be difficult to rebuild the Baltimore police department if this goes on much longer.

Without an actual working police force, the only way to "restore order" in Baltimore will be via National Guard troops. But they can't do the job forever.

Who, then, too replace them?
Why, obama's new "National Police", of course!

In any case, it looks like Baltimore may beat all the other urban black hellholes into becoming "the next American Detroit".

Not that most of them aren't far behind...
