Low Level Crime Effectively Legalized in Baltimore

You think Baltimore is a hellhole now? Hold on, liberal rule isn’t done with it yet:

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced on Friday that the city of Baltimore would permanently suspend prosecution of prostitution, drug possession, minor traffic offenses, and other so-called “quality of life” crimes.

If you want more crime and urban decay, take the “broken windows” policy that Rudy Giuliani used to clean up New York City, before Bill de Blasio deliberately plunged it back into chaos. Reverse the policy. Then throw it into overdrive. If cracking down on minor infractions like loud music works wonders to prevent violent crime, think what effectively legalizing drugs and prostitution can do to turn a city into something out of a Mad Max movie.

Mosby had previously announced the policy as a temporary measure that was allegedly designed to slow the spread of COVID-19 among the city’s police force and prison population. However, in Friday’s press conference, Mosby claimed that the policy had served to lower violent crime in Baltimore, and that it proved that her vision of “criminal justice reform” worked. Thus, the policy would become permanent.

This won’t be the only insane measure supposedly taken as a temporary emergency response to Covid that turns out to be permanent. Democrats cranking up the financial incentives to have children out of wedlock springs to mind.

Mosby crows that her policy reduces crime. What it reduces is arrests.

Speaking of arrests, Mosby might be due for one herself:

Mosby’s husband, Nick Mosby, is president of the Baltimore City Council, and the pair are widely believed to have higher political ambitions. Complicating these ambitions is a federal criminal investigation that has been opened by the United States Attorney’s Office into the couple’s finances, which is reportedly investigating alleged tax and campaign finance improprieties.

No wonder Mosby dislikes the police so much. She must have nightmares about them dragging her off to jail.

She needn’t worry. At the rate liberals are destroying the country, she will probably be Attorney General before long.

Maybe crime pays… for a while.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.
