The new mayor of Baltimore — one of America's most dangerous cities — wants rival factions to put down their guns and put up their dukes.
During a Sunday speech at an anti-gun violence rally, Mayor Bernard "Jack" Young — who took office after Catherine Pugh resigned in May amid scandal — advocated organized fights as a means to solve disputes without using weapons.
What a stupid suggestion. So many of the shootings have nothing to do with anger towards one particular individual, in fact many of them are close to random. This guy may have good intentions, but he is actually an idiot.

I guess acting like a responsible human being- trying hard in school, getting a job, avoiding drugs, being nice to one another- was not an option.

How ridiculous. After applying deep thought I have a far more sophisticated and intellectual solution; rock paper scissors. What a maroon.

When savages overtake the city and city hall, this is what they raised and voted for. Sad, beyond measure!

Lt's put them all in a big cage and pay them to beat the crap out of each other. Now THAT'S entertainment.

How about this Mr. Democrat Mayor. Implement a "No Broken Windows Policy" and turn the police loose to do their job, instead of making a stupid statement like you did. You are no more fit to govern than the previous two mayors.

Re-purpose the laser tag park, for use with live ammo. At least then the carnage can be concentrated in one ares. Each A.M. the losers can be tranported to the Morgue, and the area hosed down for the next day's shoot 'em up. /s

The mayor knows the truth.
At the heart of the violence, drug dealing and preserving drug sales territory are causing the shootings.
A street level drug pusher with a good territory can earn a 6 figure tax free income, and his baby momma reaps part of the benefits of that if she is a compliant momma. She will have her nice clothes, tats, tips, hair extensions, decent car, all while collecting full welfare benefits.
Also she will have her recreational drugs and booze, expensive cell phones, and the like..
But until we face that reality, Baltimore and other mostly minority cities will continue to die, and we white folks will avoid such an environment wherever and whenever possible.

Oh boy! Next time home invaders are breaking into my home I'll get out my boxing gloves.
Are boxing gloves bullet proof?

Samuel Colt was right. The mayor is full of Schiff.

If he's actually considering this hare-brained idea, why not try Thuderdome from Mad Max! These criminals aren't looking to 'settle' anything, they want to see their rivals dead. So stick em in a cage with some clubs, chansaws, etc., and let them go at it, Two men enter! One man leaves!
