Baltimore Mayor Jack Young is begging city residents to obey curfews and stop shooting each other so hospital beds can be reserved for Chinese coronavirus patients.
“I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Young said during a press conference on Wednesday. “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.”
Young addressed the town after seven people were shot on Tuesday night in a Madison Park neighborhood, all of whom survived and are now receiving medical attention. There are currently five known cases of Chinese coronavirus in the city thus far.
“For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it,” Young said. “We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.”
Young wants the criminals of Baltimore to think of the greater good and give up crime because “we cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration.”
Commissioner Michael Harrison confirmed that crime has spiked since Friday night, as criminals sense an opportunity with resources strained amidst the Chinese coronavirus panic. Society continues to break down, and gun control in the state of Maryland leaves ordinary, law-abiding citizens as sitting ducks for the predators.
President Donald Trump has called out Baltimore for their crime-ridden streets and squalorous conditions under Democrat control:
President Donald Trump received wide-spread condemnation from the fake news media and the liberals when he called out the city of Baltimore for its poor conditions under the stewardship of Rep. ‘King’ Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and other Democratic Party officials…
“The homicide rate in Baltimore is significantly higher than El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala. I believe it’s higher than, give me a place that you think is pretty bad, give me a place,” Trump said.
Now, even the governments of third-world countries are echoing Trump’s sentiments, as Uruguay and Venezuela are warning their citizens to avoid traveling to Baltimore and other crime-ridden American cities governed by Democrats.
Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs cited the Ceoworld Magazine 2019 index to warn their citizens to avoid Baltimore as well as Albuquerque and Detroit because of their dangerous conditions. Earlier this month, Baltimore eclipsed the dubious mark of 200 homicides for the year.
Venezuela told its citizens to “avoid visiting some cities that are among the 20 most dangerous in the world,” such as Baltimore. Other Democrat-run cities listed by Venezuela for its citizens to avoid include Detroit, Oakland, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Memphis.
With a nationwide move to use coronavirus as an excuse to let criminals roam the streets, these Democrat-run cities are powder kegs waiting to explode.
