Potential taxpayers for Baltimore. If that trend continues for five more years, 1,200 potential taxpayers won’t be able to support Baltimore and it’s increasing cost of operations. It shouldn’t take five years to turn things around to feel safe. Sadly, another 240 people might lose their life this year because Brandon Scott thinks he has a handle on crime prevention. My father-in-law, father of eight children, was the first homicide victim on January 2, 1974. Fifty years later, the first homicide victim was on January 2, 2024. Nothing has changed but the homicides continue.
Parents need take action and be held accountable and responsible for their children’s actions or their offspring may be the next homicide victim. The homicide rate should drop 100%, now that would be something to be proud of broadcasting.
